Abstract


Community involvement is the engagement and participation of an individual who renders service for community development and selfimprovement. For students, this concept is part of the basic and collegiate curriculum as service learning, which links content standards to reallife learning by self–reflection. The study focused on factors influencing community involvement among BSED-Social Studies students of the University of Bohol during the first semester of the academic year 2018– 2019, basing on Bronfenbrenner’s Socio-ecological Theory. The study utilized a quantitative method through a self-constructed tool and was then processed through percentage, weighted mean, composite mean, Chisquare, Analysis of Variance, and Scheffe’s test. The study revealed that respondents strongly agreed that individual factors had influenced them all the time. The result showed a significant relationship between community involvement and the individual factors.
