Abstract

The awareness on political issues is a way of monitoring political activities in society. It shows how efficient and cooperative the individuals are in working together specifically in resolving matters towards the development of the community. It is also a way of recognizing their ideas for awareness through participatory and active engagements brought about by international or local relationship within certain groups. An understanding of politics then enables the individual to deal intelligently and more efficiently in the different aspects of life. This study aimed to assess the level of student's awareness on the political conduct of activities of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy. This study utilized the stratified random sampling method of students enrolled of the College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy with the different program offerings. Since this study aimed to assess the awareness of the students of the College on political issues and conduct of activities on the student governance, the descriptive correlational design was used. According to Yvonne L. Lamar (2004, 1996. William M.K. Trochim http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/tutorial/tutorial.htm) correlational method may help the researcher in exploring the relationship between variables, predict scores on other variables and express the magnitude relationship between two variables. The data gathering tool used was prepared by the researcher based on the statement of the problem of the study. It has two parts: Part 1 deals with the personal profile of the respondents and Part 11 composed of the questionnaire proper on the awareness of the respondents on the on political issues and conduct of activities on the student governance. This study utilized the different statistical tools to deal on the data gathered such as a frequency and percentage count, the weighted mean. The findings of this study provides the researcher the need to be aware on issues relative to or has a direct relation on political matters concerning the institutions in order to have a smooth, continuous flow of events that will directly guide the activity on school governance. Based on the results of this undertaking, the researcher strongly recommends that a deeper discussion on the significance of suffrage and political participation as a foundation of a strong democratic society should be encouraged in the courses of Political Science and related law subjects enriched by seminars, symposia and trainings on political issues to be done in a regular basis to provide the students other avenues apart from the formal classroom sessions
