Abstract / Bio
The Philippines is one of the Asian countries that practices and implements diverse and inclusive practices in its education. However, despite the presence of Diverse Education (DE) and Inclusive Education (IE), discrimination still remains, especially when it comes to gender, ethnicity, physical and mental challenges, and societal norms. That is to say, Political Correctness (PC)—a type of language that promotes the usage of less offensive words when communicating with others—is important to be put into practice. This study measured the perception, awareness, and attitude of Grade 11 students from San Jose Community High School towards Political Correctness (PC), with the help of survey questionnaires and interviews of selected Grade 11 students. Our results showed that Grade 11 students are moderately aware of Political Correctness (PC) and have a positive attitude and perception regarding its importance and practice. However, in the categories of gender, ethnicity, and physical challenges, both positive and negative attitudes occurred. It is evident the Grade 11 students are aware and willing to practice the ideologies of Political Correctness (PC), and consistent education and exposure to Political Correctness Ideologies (PCI) will benefit their evolving understanding and exercise of inclusive and respectful language.
