About this module

Good Day SPIan! This module is specially written to help you get your better understanding
about our community.

Embracing and ushering the "new normal" learning approach in this time of pandemic aims to
provide modern and quality education for Filipino learners like you. At this moment, you will
study at your own pace and safety at home while your instructor takes responsibility of
monitoring your progress. This module hopes to respond to the needs of the learners by
highlighting its significance and connection to other fields of social sciences.

In order to assure your learning about the Community Engagement, Solidarity and
Citizenship, this module is undertaking all the necessary measures to ensure that your
expectation will be discussed within reasonable time without compromising anyone ’s health
and safety.

I acknowledge the efforts and/or contributions of Senior High School Department to this work,
but I own all errors, if any. I hope that concepts and ideas of community engagement, solidarity
and citizenship learned from this module may enable you to face the challenges and issues of
the community that lie in the real world.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course focuses on the application of ideas and methods of the
social sciences to understand, investigate, and examine challenges of contemporary community
life. It focuses on community-action initiatives such as community engagement, solidarity, and
citizenship as guided by the core values of human rights, social justice, empowerment and
advocacy, gender equality, and participatory development. It aims at enhancing students ’ sense
of shared identity and willingness to contribute to the pursuit of the common good of the
community. It enables students to integrate applied social sciences into community-action
initiatives.

Now, it's time to acquire new knowledge, meaning-making and transfer of ideas, SPians!
Padayon!

Vision
Module 2
Our vision in the Center for the Study of National Reconnaissance is to have a mission-oriented influence
on NRO decisionmaking by sharing the CSNR's research-based insight into the discipline of national
reconnaissance.

Mission

Our primary mission is to advance and shape the Intelligence Community’s understanding of the
discipline, practice, and history of national reconnaissance. Our objective is to ensure that NRO
Leadership has the analytical framework and historical context to make effective policy and
programmatic decisions. We focus on social science and historical research, with a goal to enable the
NRO to meet its mission objectives.

Experiences in Community Engagement, Solidarity and Citizenship

In the social sciences and other fields of study, action research refers to a mix of action and
research. This approach was developed in the 1940s. Unlike conventional research, this involves
taking a particular subjective attitude. Action researchers talk about reconnaissance as being a
phase of action research. Reconnaissance as those activities that allow a determination for the
action researcher of 'where I was at, what I hoped to achieve and how I thought that I would
get there'. Ultimately the activities within the reconnaissance phase of action research clarify
'where I was starting from in my real world situation.'

The Sentinel Zambia reconnaissance survey was implemented from 15 August to 28 September 2019 in
the Kazungula, Katete, Kaoma, Kapiri Mposhi and Zambezi districts of Zambia.

The survey’s aim was to understand agricultural expansion and its impacts on natural resources and the
environment. I worked in an interdisciplinary research team as an Agriculture and Socio-economic
specialist. This article shares my personal experiences and what I learnt during the survey’s
implementation.

The research team comprised researchers from different backgrounds including agriculture, social
sciences, ecology and natural resources. The basic principle behind the interdisciplinary approach was
based on the understanding that rural communities, despite being heavily dependent on agriculture, are
affected by almost all sectors of society. This approach involves a holistic diagnosis of key challenges
that impact on farmers using the Farming Systems Research approach.

Participatory Rural Appraisal techniques were applied in community engagement and data collection.
Key methods used were community meetings, gender-balanced focus group discussions, community
resource mapping and transect walks.
Module 2
Field experiences

The critical entry point for such studies is local village leadership. Once engaged, village leadership
becomes key in facilitating research programmes both for the study and follow-up activities.

The practical approach of resource mapping, timelines and transect walks provided a window for active
community engagement and participation in the data collection process as well as validation and
verification of the situation on the ground. Gender sensitivity in the composition of research participants
also played a critical role in ensuring that both male and female farmer perspectives were heard.

Opportunities for networking

Not only interdisciplinary, the study also involved multiple stakeholders who contributed different
perspectives in how to address issues of agricultural expansion in the study areas.

The views of different stakeholders (Forestry Department, Ministry of Agriculture, farmer cooperatives,
village heads and committees) on issues of agricultural expansion were captured. Stakeholder
engagement in data collection opens up opportunities for identifying research gaps as well as
interventions that may require follow up by relevant partners.

The reconnaissance survey helped build my capacity for community-based feasibility studies, with
community approaches and administration of the Participatory Rural Appraisal techniques emerging as
the most critical.
