For example, when you visit your friend’s home,
to show respect, you both ask for the grandmother’s
blessing because you were told that it is courtesy.
This situation engages you to deal with it by adapting
to the shared norms and values to gain social
approval rather than rejection. You were able to
conform to the group standards.
For example, during examination day,
you are required to take the test to finish the
grading period and failure to do so may
result in a failing grade.
For instance, as a maturing adolescent, you want to
contribute to development through inviting other friends
to exercise proper waste disposal. Whether you do it
purposely as you try to give the leader your respect or
purposefully as it empowers you to participate actively
as a follower. Whatever your reason is for obeying; it
leads to social facilitation. This happens when you are
given a sense of responsibility that allows you to perform
better if you are with other individuals.
Given these three situations, you can choose to conform,
to comply, or to obey depending on how well you
perceive yourself and others; likewise, how others
perceive you. These are all important in personal
development.
Comparing your self-perception with others’ perception of you
has contributed to your thoughts that influence your behavior.
These significant persons in your lives help you in becoming a
successful leader and follower through social
relationships.
In any relationship, communication is important as you listen
to what others are telling you, and as to understand yourself
and others in any situation. It influences your outlook in life,
like when you were in your formative years - you have a
limited capacity of acknowledging what is happening around
you. More so, you are not aware of how other people treated
or thought about you. There were also times when adults
always asked you what you want to be when you grow up.
While, as you grow, as a maturing adolescent you
conceive new thoughts, feelings and behavior based
on your experiences which form new perceptions that
influence you in dealing with others, in handling your
problems, and in making right decisions.
Plan the Role-Play
•Each group will create a 5-minute role-play scenario that
demonstrates their assigned concept.
•The scenario should be realistic and relatable (e.g., school, workplace,
social settings).
•Every group member should have a role.
Concept Guidelines

group, even if they don’t necessarily agree.

don’t want to.

figure.
Assessment Criteria:

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.
Family
Filipino’s perspective in building family relationship focused
on establishing close ties. They are very hospitable and
friendly people. They always smile no matter how they
feel. Meeting someone for the first time, they do not
hesitate to give a smile before starting a conversation.
They 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 increasingly push the children's
learning 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.
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.
Conducting a Mini-
survey
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.
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 take you to 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.
