 Lesson Conduct a Mini-Survey on Filipino
Relationships (family, school, and
22 community)
The social relationship needs interaction among individuals, which involves
influence. Individual’s influences have an effect on your behavior which may help or
hinder you from fulfilling your social roles. Moreover, it is inevitable that someone
may agree or disagree with you because there is no perfect world that everything goes
well with you, not everybody says “yes” and makes a nod with your thoughts, opinions,
and values--which means disagreements can be pretty common, especially in the
society where you live in.

The ability to perceive how people see you is what enables you to connect to
others authentically and to reap the deep satisfaction that comes with those ties.
Establishing connections and relations is needed in the place where you are and the
organization where you belong. In this lesson, you will further deepen how the
Filipino relationships are common to every people (adolescence) by conducting a
mini-survey.

 What is It

Middle Adolescents find themselves in the company of their peers usually

from the school or neighborhood. As they gravitate more toward these groups, the
attachment to the family as their primary source of personal source or personal
development shifts to these peers or group.
Being able to create friendship and new attachment is critical in the
development of adolescents as they transcend to young adulthood. From high
school to college, adolescents nurture faster socially where new lessons are learned
especially on how their social interactions are formed. They affirmed themselves
with self-identity and their self-esteem develop their capacity to nurture who they
are. In such way, learning to associate and develop relationships is nurtured in this
stage.
Social relationship is very common to all individuals. Social relationships
refer to the connections that exist between people who have recurring interactions
that are perceived by the participants to have personal meaning. This definition
includes relationships between family members, friends, neighbors, fellow
workers, and other associates.
Relationship is the way in which two or more people or groups regard and
behave toward each other. There are many different types of relationships. In this
topic, we will focus on three types of relationships: Family relationships,
friendships, acquaintanceships and community relationships.
Family relationships, or relatives are people we are connected to through
some form of kinships, such as parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts
and uncles or step-parents. The family includes siblings and parents you may see
every day growing up, and other relatives such as cousins, aunts, uncles, and
grandparents you may not see frequently.
Friends are people we are not related to but choose to interact with. A friend
is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection,
typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. Friends are people we trust,
respect, care about, and feel that we can confide in and want to spend time with.
Friends are close to you whom you can confide in.
Acquaintances are people you may encounter oftentimes, but are not
friends or relatives. For instance, they may be a neighbor who lives in your road, a
work colleague or someone you have seen a few times at a social event but do not
yet know well. Acquaintances are persons whom you know slightly, but who is not
a close friend.
Community relations simply describe a company's interactions with the
community in which it resides. Cambridge dictionary defines it as the relationship
that a company, or organization has with the people who live in the area in which
it operates. Building community relationships can be the most important
communication activity undertaken by an organization for the good of the
community.

 Filipino Relationship
(family, school, and community)

Filipino’s perspective in building family relationship is focused on establishing

close ties. Filipinos are very hospitable and friendly people. They always smile no
matter how they feel. Meeting someone for the first time, Filipinos do not hesitate
to give a smile before starting a conversation. Filipinos have close family ties and
always wanted to talk about their extended family. Filipinos are very family-
oriented.

School
Home-school partnership occurs through the processes of cooperation,
coordination, and collaboration to enhance learning opportunities, educational
progress, and school success for students in the academic, social, emotional, and
behavioral domains. According to M. Johnson 2015, Home-School Partnerships stated
that Children's learning is increasingly moving toward a broader vision of the 21st
century learning. As children's educations increasingly occur across a range of
settings, parents are uniquely positioned to help ensure that these settings best
support their children's specific learning needs.
Parental involvement is observed in the school setting in the Philippines. The
amount of participation a parent has when it comes to the schooling of his/her
children fosters healthy outcome thus, parental involvement is needed in
children's education.
According to H. Castillon1 & A. Bonotan, The Dynamics of Home-School
Partnership and Young Learners’ Performance: From the Lens of Kindergarten
Teachers Conferences, Classroom Projects, Contributions”; Partnership is
strengthened with the 3 R’s: Rapport, Reaching Out, Recognition to Parents”;
“Involved Parents beget confident, sociable, and active kids”, “Less involved
parents tend to have kids who are timid, withdrawn and perform less.” Parenting
is important in the Philippine educational setting because family is viewed as a
center to one's social world.

Community
Many of today's leaders in education, business and community development
are coming to realize that schools alone cannot prepare our youth for a productive
adulthood. It is evident that schools and communities should work closely with
each other to meet their mutual goals. Schools can provide more support for
students, families, and staff when they are an integral part of the community.
Appropriate and effective collaboration and teaming are seen as key factors to
community development, learning, and family self-sufficiency.
Partnerships should be considered as connections between schools and
community resources.

6
 The partnership may involve the following:
1. utilization of school or neighborhood facilities and equipment or giving out
other resources
2. collaborative fundraising and grant applications giving assistance
3. mentoring and training from professionals and others with special
expertise
4. information sharing and dissemination
5. networking recognition and public relations
6. shared responsibility for planning
7. implementation and evaluation of programs and services;
8. expanding opportunities for internships, jobs, recreation, and building a
sense of community.

School-community partnerships can intertwine many resources and strategies

to enhance communities that support all youth and their families. They could make
schools better, strengthen neighborhoods, and lead to a noticeable depletion in young
people's problems. Building such partnerships requires visioning, strategic planning,
creative leadership, and new adoptable roles for professionals who work in schools
and communities.

Conducting a mini-survey
Filipino relationships are observed in the family, school, community, and other
agencies.
Find out how social relationship occurs in the lives of teenagers by conducting
mini-survey. In conducting a mini-survey, you have to know how it is done.
Mini-surveys are carefully focused on a specific topic. It contains only fifteen
to thirty questions. It is given to a small sample of twenty-five to seventy people. It
usually uses more closed than open-ended questions; that is, they use questions that
force the respondent to choose from a small set of alternative answers, rather than
inviting a freely expanded comment.
Some uses of the mini-survey are:
• To get a picture that will help you to design the next stages of your
research
• To assess the feasibility of a project
• To get reactions from beneficiaries
• To evaluate projects.

Advantages of mini-survey
A mini-survey can be completed in three to seven weeks compared to
7
 large surveys that can take a year, before the whole process to be completed
and the results analyzed.
1. Technically, mini-surveys for development research are usually
structured interviews rather than questionnaires, because
questionnaires exclude people who cannot read. Interviews have the
added advantage of allowing you to help people through a process that
may be culturally alien, confusing, or intimidating.

2. The respondents are few.

3. A mini-survey may not give you great precision, it may be good enough
to give you a general picture of the situation, trends, and patterns.

Steps in conducting a mini-survey

Step 1: Clarify Your Objectives

Ask yourself:
a. "What do I want to find out?" "Why?"
b. "Is this technique the way to get this kind of information?"
c. "When I get the answers to these questions, will they meet my
needs?"

Step 2: Find Out What Else Has Been Done

There are ready-made survey questions which were utilized by some

researchers and may be good enough for your purposes. This may provide you
with some useful ideas and information and will allow you to use for your study.
This may also let you go a step a little further for it gives a little ease to do.
However, do not automatically use someone else's questions unless you are
convinced, they will work for you.

Step 3: Choose the Respondents

First, you must decide whether you are going to ask your questions of
the entire group or second you use sampling.

Step 4: Develop the Questions

Prepare your questions to be asked from your respondents. Learn to
write good questions by thinking things through and by knowing about the
people who will answer them.

Guide in writing questions: The Do’s and the Don’ts
The following guidelines for writing questions were adapted from the
work of cross-cultural research experts Brislin, Lonner, and Thorndike (1973),
who created them to help in translating questions from one language to another.
But they are useful even when you do not have to translate.
1. Use short, simple sentences of less than sixteen words. However,
sensitive questions may require a softener.
2. Use the active rather than the passive voice:
"Should the teachers discipline the students?" rather than
"should discipline be carried out by the teachers?"
3. Repeat nouns instead of using pronouns:
"When the teacher saw Memorandum, he was terrified."
Who was terrified?
4. Avoid metaphors and colloquialisms:
"Earl and Eljim agreed, but Eloise thought that was a horse of a
different color."
5. Avoid the subjective mode, such as verbs with could and would:
"If the school could improve its security system, would people send
more girls?"
Avoid vague words such as "nearer," "often," and "frequent." "Would
you like to live nearer to Baguio?"
6. Avoid possessive forms where possible:
"Mila's sister took her request to her teacher."
Whose request, whose teacher?
7. Use specific rather than general terms:
The chief, the teacher, rather than the authorities, the soccer club, the
debating team, rather than extracurricular activities.
8. Avoid words with two different verbs if the verbs suggest two different
actions: "Should villagers attend and challenge the teachers at the
parent-teacher meetings?"
