Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the level of civic involvement among students with social studies subjects and identify some of the elements relating to civic participation. A survey of 184 students enrolled in social studies subjects from Isabela State University San Mateo Campus was conducted and the results were examined using Pearsonian correlation coefficient and correlation analysis. Voting was deemed crucial to civic participation by the majority of respondents. The study also found that universities and other institutions of higher learning that include community service in their academic curricula support civic engagement.
