Abstract
This is a study about distinguishing peace concepts and issues for integration in the Social Science curriculum of First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH Colleges) in Tanauan City, Batangas, Philippines. The study was participated by 11 full-time and part-time faculty members who are teaching social science courses, 6 administrators under the College of Arts and Sciences, and 160 college students who were enrolled in social science courses. This aimed at assessing how peace education can be facilitated through teaching strategies, instructional materials, co-curricular activities, community involvement, and identified perceived factors which could impede the attainment of a culture of peace at home, in the school, and in the community. The study utilized a 65-item researcher-made questionnaire on peace education concepts and issues for the Social Science Curriculum of FAITH Colleges. Results revealed that peace concepts and issues can be highly carried out in subjects covering the studies of constitution, rights of citizens, values integration, and respect for dignity. More so, results of the study can be carried out to some school sponsored activities advocating peaceful and socially oriented values formation among students, participation in outreach activities for the poor, and various opportunities that provide students the understanding and practicing principles of democratic participation. Lastly, peace concepts and issues can be carried out through community involvements such as programs related to drugs, poverty, and even fraternities and sororities. Such relevant and sustainable extension programs contribute to societal growth responsive to the needs of the community and industry.
