Exploring relationships between toys, dolls, and puppets in gender education web-series projects in Development Communication

: The study sought to determine whether the use of puppets as tools in gender education web series projects in Development Communication improved attitudes on said tools after the course and whether correlations exist between attitudes on said tools before and after the completion of the project. Using a researcher-made survey questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale, it measured attitudes on toys, dolls, and puppets before and after the use of puppets in educational group projects using puppets as main characters of a 13-episode web series. The study used the T-test for paired samples and the Pearson Correlational Coefficient to test for significant difference and correlations, respectively. The study revealed that there was a significant difference between attitudes on toys, dolls, and puppets before and after the completion of their Development Communication web series project, and that correlations between attitudes exist before and after said project completion. This indicates the use of said tools by young adults favor their increasing use even by those who are not initially comfortable with them and could facilitate the development of said attitudes in their own children later on, or children they will communicate with for educational purposes using said tools
