1. Lesson 1: Dominant Approaches and Ideas of Social Science – Institutionalism and Feminist Theory   First Semester Quarter II, Week 1

2. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY Analyze the basic concepts and principles of the major social science ideas: a. Psychoanalysis b. Rational Choice c. Institutionalism d. Feminist Theory e. Hermeneutical f. Human Environment System

3. INSTITUTIONALISM This is an approach that emphasizes the role of institutions. Also, it stresses the usefulness of established institutions, often at the expense of the individual (Ahmed 2015).

4. Characteristics of Institutions – Source (Ahmed 2015)

5. 1. Structures The most significant of an institution. Structure may be either formal (legislature, bureaucracy, political parties, mass-media) or informal (a network of interacting organizations or a set of shared norms). Institutionalism provides no place for individuals and their interests. Rather it involves groups of individuals in some sort of patterned interactions that is predictable based upon specified relationships among the actors.

6. 2. Stability The existence of some sort of stability over time. Some legislator may decide to meet in a committee meeting once in a room in the parliament house. That could be very pleasant but it would not be an institution. If they agree to meet routinely after a specific period of time at the same place, that would begin to take on the shape of an institution.
