A study on the UP student's levels of engagement in social and political activities within and outside the university This is a study featured by Factbytes which was conducted by the UP Communication Research Society as part of their Commrespondent series 3 years ago. UP students are often associated with activism and other forms of political involvement. During the Marcos Era, activism in the university was said to be at its height. At present, it is assumed that activism in the university is on the decline. However, many still claim that students’ involvement in university and national issues is still very much alive.The UP Communication Research Society is interested in looking into the state of UP students’ knowledge and engagement in university and national issues. Thus, posing the question: How engaged are UP students on social and political activities related to the university and national issues during the year 2010 (June-December)? In line with this, the researchers seek to explore UP students’ motivation behind being engaged or disengaged in social and political activities related to university and national issues. To answer these questions, the researchers outlined the following objectives:
- Determine how knowledgeable UP students are on issues within and outside the university during the year 2010 (June-December)- Know the levels of engagement of UP students in social and political activities within and outside the university- Explore UP students’ motivations behind being engaged or disengaged in social and political activities related to university and national issuesThis study can provide a picture of UP students’ current knowledge and engagement in social and political activities within and outside the university.
