3. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
• At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Explain the effects of applied social sciences on social awareness,
self-awareness, and self-knowledge;
2. Explain the effects of applied social sciences on attitude and value
change;
3. Explain the effects of applied social sciences on behavioral change;
4. Explain the effects of applied social sciences on structural change;
5. Develop a synthesis of the effects of applied social sciences
processes.
4. Elicit
• Based on your experience and knowledge, what are
the possible effects of the applied social sciences
processes? Use the space provided for your answer.
5. Engage
•Take a few minutes to reflect on your personal
experience with any service of social science
practitioners and any function of applied social
sciences. How has counseling, social work,
communication channel, or any of the functions
in society affected your personal life? Or how
has it influenced your life as a student? Share
your insights with your seatmates.
6. EXPLORE
•Applied social sciences come with a
wide range of practitioner skills in areas
such as advocacy, counseling and case
management, and the knowledge and
experience to be able to work with
individuals, groups, and communities to
improve their well-being and social
functioning.
7. EXPLORE
•Professionals here are eligible to apply for roles
such as alcohol and drug worker, caseworker,
school counselors, client service officer,
community social worker, contact supervisor,
and rehabilitation officer, among others. They
can also fit well in all other sectors requiring
the application of psychological knowledge,
including the human resource offices
personnel, market research, community
services, health and social welfare.
8. EXPLORE
•With the applied social sciences processes,
standards in social service delivery are
observe. A set of core values is considered
in the delivery of human and social services.
Services are given with quality. Social justice
is pursued. Every person is considered to
have dignity and worth. The importance of
human relationship is a factor in social
service delivery.
9. EXPLORE
•Integrity and competence are expected of
all professional in the practice of social
service. They are expected to work within
their perspective areas of competence and
to develop and enhance their professional
expertise. People in need are helped by the
social workers to address social problems.
Social injustice is challenged.
11. SOCIAL AWARENESS, SELF-AWARENESS, AND SELF-
KNOWLEDGE
•Social awareness, self-
awareness, and self-
knowledge are very
essential for quality
participation and
functioning in society for
they incorporate one’s
appreciation of both the
inner-ecology and the social
ecology.
12.
13.
14. • We became aware of who we
are as individuals, because of
the presence of others with
whom we share our existence.
When we come to recognize
that there are other people and
that they are essentially distinct
and different from us, that is
the start of our social
awareness that simultaneously
leads us to become conscious
and aware of ourselves as
beings or persons.
15.
16. •Social awareness is
important for managing
own response to change,
and it forms an essential
part of interpersonal
intelligence. For students,
this involves recognizing
others feelings and knowing
how and when to assist
others.
17. •It involves learning to show
respect for and understand
others perspectives and
their emotional states and
needs. It likewise involves
learning to participate in
positive, safe, and
respectful relationships,
defining and accepting
individual and group roles
and responsibilities.
18. • This become the foundation
of student understanding of
their role in advocacy in
society and to build their
capacity to critique societal
constructs and forms of
discrimination, such as racism
and sexism. Social awareness
capacitates individuals to
appreciate diverse
perspectives, contribute to
civil society, and understand
relationship.
19. •Self-awareness is an
important step toward self-
understanding and self-
mastery and it forms an
essential part of
intrapersonal and
emotional intelligence. It
means having the capacity
to understand your
personality, behaviors,
habits, and emotions.
20. •It includes being conscious
of what you are good at
(strengths) as well as of
what you are not good at
(weakness). As a student, it
also involves identifying
and describing the factors
that influence your
emotional responses as
well as develop a realistic
sense of your personal
abilities, qualities, and
strengths.
21. • This is done through knowing what
you are feeling in the moment, and
having a realistic assessment of your
own abilities resulting in a well-
grounded sense of self-knowledge,
and self-confidence. It involves
reflecting on and evaluating your
learning, identifying personal
characteristics that contribute to or
limit your effectiveness, learning
from successes or failures, and
being able to interpret your own
emotional states, needs and
perspectives.
22. •A self-aware individual acts with
personal and social capacity
through recognition of emotions,
recognition of personal qualities
and achievements,
understanding oneself as learner,
and developing a reflective
practice.
23. ATTITUDE AND VALUE CHANGE
•Tensions emanating from
technological, social, and
economic change bring
about attitude and value
change. With all changes
happening especially in the
climate change context,
social and cultural values
that may not be in support
of survival need to give way
to those that are life
nurturing.
24.
25.
26. ATTITUDE AND VALUE CHANGE
•Two frameworks for climate
change resiliency suggested
ask either for mitigation
strategies or adaptation
strategies to ensure human
survival and prosperity.
27.
28.
29.
30. ATTITUDE AND VALUE CHANGE
•Relying only on disaster risk
reduction and effective
management of climate
change is not adequate; there
is a need to have attitudinal
and value transformation on
negative inclinations like the
“bahala na” attitude; these
cannot lead to individual,
group, or community
sustainability.
31. ATTITUDE AND VALUE CHANGE
•Our attitudes and values must
change with time, so as to
follow our new abilities to
survive to emerge. Our
lifestyles are as good as they
are sustainable and supported
by our life means.
36. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Behavior is acquired or
developed slowly and once it’s
part of your life, you will learn
the difficulty of behavioral
change. It is hard to break old
habits or adopt new ones.
Making a permanent change
in behavior is never a simple
process, and it requires a
substantial commitment of
time, effort, and emotion.
37.
38.
39. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Sometimes, one has to make
several tries before
succeeding. Achieving
behavioral change demands
multiple solutions and even
several different techniques.
Often, in the process of trying
to change, many people
become less motivated,
discouraged, and give up on
their goals to change their
behaviors.
40. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Generally, behavioral change
is highly transactional. The
motivation is sustained by
cost analysis. If change is
perceived to bring immediate
gratification with good
benefits compared to the
status quo, the behavioral
change process tends to be
sustainable.
41. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Behavioral change
management is never easy,
but psychologists, therapists,
physicians, and teacher have
developed a number of ways
to effectively help people
change their behaviors.
42. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
• Research has produced theories
to explain how change occurs. In
the late 1970s, researchers
James Prochaska and Carlo
DiClemente were studying ways
to help people quit smoking and
ended up developing one of the
best known approaches to
change, called the Stages of
Change model or The
Transtheoretical Model (TTM).
43. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•This model demonstrates that
change is not easy and
requires a gradual progression
of small steps toward a larger
goal. The model has been
found to be an effective aid in
understanding how people go
through change in a behavior:
(1)readiness to change;
(2)barriers to change;
(3)expect relapse.
44.
45. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•One needs to have resources
to aid change. These may
include both economic and
social capital, a support
network, and an enabling
environment. Change happens
in a gradual way. Relapses are
considered an inevitable part
of the change process in
achieving a lifelong change.
46. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Unwillingness and
resistance to change are
very normal during the
early stages. In the
process, one becomes
accustomed to the
process and increases the
commitment to achieving
the behavioral change
goals.
47. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Applied social sciences
bring in a wealth of
approaches, techniques,
and tools to facilitate
change on the individual
level and on the group
level.
48. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•Behavioral change has
been rightly associated
with the role of the
applied social sciences
processes. There is more
discourse on power and
corruption, conflict
management and peace
building process, and risk
assessment behavior.
49. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
• The media have made issues of
power and corruption to become
a public matter leading to arrests
and detention and trials of
powerful political individual like
the three Philippine Senators
who were tried to plunder cases
in 2014 (Former Senate
President, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile,
former Senate Minority Leader,
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, and Sen.
Bong Revilla.
50. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•The practice and insights from
social work and counseling are
influencing progress in conflict
management and peace
building in Mindanao and
across society. Counselors and
social workers are more and
more impacting public
response to risk assessment
behavior on individual, group,
and community levels.
51. BEHAVIORAL CHANGE
•The campaign against the
spread of HIV and
prevention as well as care
for the afflicted is largely
due to the input from
applied social sciences and
the work of the
professionals in the
practice.
53. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•Structural change refers to
the radical shift in the way
reality is organized and does
not necessarily include the
substantive change.
Structural change, in
economic terms, is the
transformation of policy,
legal, social, cultural,
economic, and/or physical
aspects of an environment
that impede equity for all.
54. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•As such, it requires long-
term interventions that
build on knowledge,
behavior and attitude
modification across
multiple domains: public
and private institutions,
civil society, community
groups, and in the general
population.
55. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
• Normally, this is only realizable
when there is transformation in
dominant sectors that help to
remove barriers to equity for all
in every opportunity area such
as health and safety, education,
employment, housing, and
income and wealth. The
complexity of issues may require
starting in one institution and
breeding to another institution
as well as long-term close
monitoring of public policies.
56. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•In many countries, women
were not allowed to hold
public office and they were
made to look incompetent
using a social structure, for
example, that prevented
them to go further in
education or have exposure
to public service.
57. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•Systematically, their exposure
was in the kitchen and
domestic context. To change
this, there are global efforts
from public policy to social
awareness campaign and
education where organizations
and companies are required to
have women representation in
work place and public affairs.
58. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•In the recent past, the
family structure did not just
describe the biological and
marital relationship that
bonded people together but
it included the aspects of
living together under the
same roof or very close
proximity.
59. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•Today, the concept of family
remains to be the basic unit
of human relations but does
not necessarily imply living
together. Furthermore, the
institution of marriage was
confined to opposite sex
partners but today, there is
a growing acceptance of
same sex unions and
marriages across the globe.
60. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
•Evidently, personal and
family relations, gender,
overseas migration of
Filipino workers, domestic
violence, single parenting,
community life, criminality,
and substance abuse are not
only changing in structure;
they are also becoming
more common and normal.
61. STRUCTURAL CHANGE
• Applied social sciences are
facilitating much people’s
struggle to live with these
changes. Social work, counseling,
and communication are making
common issue more of a public-
discourse leading to greater
acceptance and better
understanding and coping on
individual, group, and community
levels. Social Science concepts
and theories have provided the
foundation and tools to deal with
changes in a more
comprehensive way.

64. SYNTHESIS IN THE APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES
•Social sciences, in their
broadness, provide a
huge theoretical resource
to explain much of the
social phenomena that
affect individuals,
families, groups and
communities.
65. •Applied social sciences
raise the community
problems to a practical
science to address
personal family, group, and
community problems by
helping individuals develop
their capacity to fit well in
the environment and by
challenging the
environment to become
better for individuals to
flourish.
66. •Guidance and
counseling, social work,
and communication and
journalism provide the
mechanism, tools,
methods, and processes
to bridge the individual
and his/her community.
67. •Applied social sciences are
rooted in the principles of
human rights, social
justices, and inclusion as
well as empowering
individuals, groups and
communities to develop
their full potential and
well-being. When these
are not realized, denied, or
violated, then applied
social sciences set in which
appropriate measures to
transform humanity.
