Needs assessment of barangay Butong’s BCPC members as basis of community extension program enhancement for BS psychology
Abstract
The varied range of ideas and experiences is critical in analyzing the community's needs and brainstorming opportunities for change. In line with this, the research study aims to provide an enhanced framework for the community extension program of BS Psychology. Participants in the study are residents of Barangay Butong who are members of the BCPC. Before conducting a focused group discussion, BS Psychology students provided Community Extension Programs in collaboration with the Barangay Butong. A total of ten (10) members of the BCPC were gathered and interviewed about their specific needs as members. The researchers conducted a focused-group discussion with the members of BCPC to gather information about their needs. By using interpretative phenomenological analysis, six themes emerged from the focus group discussion data: (1) financial assistance, (2) educational scholarships program, (3) financial literacy, (4) training for BCPC members, and (5) psychosocial support. The study recommends that the BCK plan be conducted annually for the improvement and development of the members of the BCPC in terms of the three (3) categories of needs (existence, relatedness and growth needs).
