OBJECT THAT WILL
DESCRIBE THE THREE (3)
BASIC CONCEPTS AND
APPROACHES IN THE
SOCIAL SCIENCES.
W H AT I S
APPLIED SOCIAL
SCIENCE?
• The application of social science theories, concepts, methods,
and findings to problems identified in the wider society,
(D.Jary & J. Jary 2000).
• Is an integrated science cutting across and transcending various
social science disciplines in addressing a wide range of issues
in a contemporary, innovative, and dynamic way.
• The study that uses knowledge based on theories, principles,
and methods of interdisciplinary disciplines of basic social
science to understand society and to help address or solve a
social problem or practical problem in society.
APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCE

RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN SOCIAL
SCIENCES AND APPLIED
SOCIAL SCIENCES
• Social Sciences are more specific and focused on a
distinct facet of a social phenomenon while applied social
science attempts to focus on a distinct issue but uses
insights from various social science disciplines.
• Social science may explore broadly their distinct

disciplines, some of their input may easily become
applied while others remain theoretical.
FUNCTIONS AND
EFFECTS OF
APPLIED SOCIAL
SCIENCES
Generate knowledge in an organic way for
evidence-based actions and solutions to
social problems and issues. They provide
learning feedback by simultaneously
engaging the experts and the stakeholders
that form a social world
They cause social sciences to do things
rather than just remain a source of
factual knowledge with little or no
utility at all.
Generate practical solutions to complex
social problems
Provision of knowledge by social science
becomes the moral basis for applied
social science to address the issues or
problems of society.
Communication knowledge provides
accessibility to information and thereby
serves the rights of an individual and the
public to be informed and to be heard y
their elders and communities
Counseling provides healing, courage,
and strength for an individual to face
his/her issues and take up the best
possible option in moments of life crisis.
The social work promotes social change,
problem solving in human relationships,
and the empowerment and liberation of
people to enhance their holistic well-
being.
