analysis of numerical data. It has two main objectives: (1)
to present information in a convenient, usable, and
understandable form; and (2) to make inferences or
decisions based on data from a small portion or sample
of a larger group. When used in the social sciences,
statistics can help describe the characteristics of specific
elements in the analysis of society, such as population
and economic development.

There are other interdisciplinary fields,
areas, and processes that integrate the
principles of the social sciences. These are
development studies, environmental
planning, and social policy.

issues experienced by underdeveloped and
developing nations. An interesting issue in the
discipline is whether the Philippines is a developing
or an underdeveloped country.

be effective, transparent, and equitable.

SOCIAL POLICY

respond to the needs of people, usually focusing
on the economy.

DEFINITION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND APPLIED
SOCIAL SCIENCES

Cite differences through Social sciences and Applied social sciences through T-
chart technique.

• The field of “social science” can be considered to cover any study of human
interaction.
• An “applied” field is one that is deemed to be more practical than theoretical (the
emphasis is more on practice than on theory)
• the main concern of applied science is about scientific knowledge and how to
practice it into the real world.
• Applied science's necessity is triggered by research question which become the
problem to be solved. It usually produces practical steps, practical decisions,
as tools to answer the existing problem. It helps stakeholders to develop the
systems to be better.

THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN APPLIED
SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE:
• Based on scientific research
• Have contribution to civilizations
• Necessary to human life
• Root of science
• Been done with a scientific methodology

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN APPLIED
SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCE:
• Purpose
• Applied science: solving problem
• Social science: theory proven
• Trigger
• Applied science: problem to be solved or needs to be developed
• Social science: curiosity
• Object
• Applied science: system
• Social science: people
• Methodology
• Applied science: both quantitative and qualitative
• Social science: qualitative
• Output
• Applied science: technology, invention
• Social science: qualified hypothesis or behavioral theory

THE APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCE
• Draw heavily from the theories of the various social sciences (e.g.,
psychology, sociology, and political science) to critically study society
and the relationships among the people within. The applied social
sciences equip students with the ability to develop practical and
effective solutions to societal issues and concerns. They also develop
the student’s research skills and give them the opportunity to conduct
studies on social realities. They prepare students to tackle some of the
most crucial and pressing social, economic, political, and ecological
issues of our times. Finally, the applied social sciences prepare students
toward becoming effective leaders in society.

the other behavioral sciences. Counselling seeks to

SOCIAL WORK
•Is a practice-based profession that seeks to
improve the welfare of communities,
individuals, families, and other groups in
