Inputs of the Teacher COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

Concepts concerning community participation offer one set of explanations as to why the
process of community engagement might be useful in addressing the physical, interpersonal, and
cultural aspects of individuals’ environments. The real value of participation stems from the
finding that mobilizing the entire community, rather than engaging people on an individualized
basis or not engaging them at all, leads to more effective results (Braithwaite et al., 1994).
Simply stated, change "... is more likely to be successful and permanent when the people it
affects are involved in initiating and promoting it" (Thompson et al, 1990, p. 46). In other words,
a crucial element of community engagement is participation by the individuals, community-
based organizations, and institutions that will be affected by the effort.
This participation is "a major method for improving the quality of the physical
environment, enhancing services, preventing crime, and improving social conditions" (Chavis et
al., 1990, p.56). There is evidence that participation can lead to improvements in neighborhood
and community and stronger interpersonal relationships and social fabric (Florin et al., 1990).
Robert Putnam notes that social scientists have recently "...unearthed a wide range of empirical
evidence that the quality of public life and the performance of social
institutions...are...powerfully influenced by norms and networks of civic engagement."
Moreover, "researchers in...Education, urban poverty...and even health have discovered that
successful outcomes are more likely in civically engaged communities" (Putnam, 1995, p.66).
For example, Steckler’s CODAPT model, for "Community Ownership through Diagnosis,
Participatory Planning, Evaluation, and Training (for Institutionalization)," suggests that when
community participation is strong throughout a program’s development and implementation,
long-term program viability, i.e., institutionalization, is more likely assured (Goodman et al.,
1987-88). The community participation literature suggests that: · People who interact socially
with neighbors are more likely to know about and join voluntary organizations. · A sense of
community may increase an individual’s feeling of control over the environment, and increases
participation in the community and voluntary organizations. · Perceptions of problems in the
environment can motivate individuals (and organizations) to act to improve the community
(Chavis et al., 1990). "When people share a strong sense of community they are motivated and
empowered to change problems they face, and are better able to mediate the negative effects over
things which they have no control," Chavis et al., (1990, p. 73) write. Moreover, "a sense of
community is the glue that can hold together a community development effort" (Chavis et al.,
1990, p. 73-74). This concept suggests that programs that "...foster membership, increase
influence, meet needs, and develop a shared emotional connection among community members"
(Chavis et al.,1990, p. 73) can serve as catalysts for change and for engaging individuals and the
community in health decision-making and action.
