Locating Filipino social studies teachers’ preferred positionality, reasons, and practices in the teaching of controversial public issues
Developing civic competence among learners is the business of any social studies teacher. The overall success of any social studies teaching depends, in great measure, on the ability of teachers to approach controversial public issues (CPI) in the spirit of critical inquiry. However, previous studies suggest that the teaching of CPI is affected by teachers’ pedagogical deficits, students’ reluctance during discussions, and lack of emphasis on CPI…

A phenomenology of Filipino military grandparents’ disciplinary practices to their grandchildren
While scholars recognize that great diversity exists in how grandparents are involved in their grandchildren’s lives, grandparenting in the military context remains a blank spot in the literature.

How big is your container? The lebenswelt of affective containment among skipped generation Filipino grandparents with chronically ill grandchildren
From being a non-normative family episode, the practice of grandparents raising grandchildren has become a normative experience in recent years.

This paper argues that among the typologies of caregiving grandparents, t…
