Level of Awareness, Attitude and Extent of Integration of Global Citizenship Education in Pedagogical Strategies among Social Science Faculty
Zandra S. Lacsi

Abstract
GCED is an approach that equips learners with values, knowledge and skills to build inclusive and sustainable societies
(UNESCO, 2022). GCED integration is a necessity for addressing 21st-century needs, not merely an optional approach. A
study reported deficiencies in Filipino workers’ soft skills, including global citizenship, affecting competitiveness. This study
assesses GCED awareness, attitudes, and integration among Social Sciences faculty in four CARAGA region SUCs using a
descriptive-correlational approach. Findings reveal faculty awareness and positive attitudes toward GCED, recognizing its
role in critical thinking, empathy, and diversity. Faculty often integrate GCED into their pedagogical strategies. Spearman
correlation confirms that greater awareness enhances attitudes and integration. The positive correlation between
awareness, attitude, and integration confirms Theory of Planned Behavior’s principle that higher awareness and favorable
attitudes drive action. Variability in implementation suggests the need for standardization, faculty training, clearer
guidelines, and stronger institutional policies to develop students' global competencies.
