Readings in Philippine History


Description:

The course analyzes Philippine history from multiple perspectives through the lens of selected primary sources coming from various disciplines and of different genres. Students are given opportunities to analyze the author's background and main arguments, compare different points of view, identify biases and examine the evidence presented in the document. The discussions will tackle traditional topics in history and other interdisciplinary themes that will deepen and broaden their understanding of Philippine political, economic, cultural, social, scientific, and religious history. Priority is given to primary materials that could help students develop their analytical and communication skills. The end goal is to develop the historical and critical consciousness of the students so that they will become versatile, articulate, broad-minded, morally upright, and responsible citizens.

This course includes mandatory topics on the Philippine Constitution, Agrarian Reform, and Taxation.

Overview:

        Philippine History is viewed from the lens of selected primary sources in different periods, analyses, and interpretations.

The course aims to expose the different facets of Philippine history through the lens of eyewitnesses. Rather than relying on secondary materials such as textbooks, which is the usual approach in teaching Philippine history, different types of primary sources will be used - written (qualitative and quantitative), oral, visual, audio-visual, digital - covering various aspects of Philippine life (political, economic, social, cultural). Students are expected to analyze the selected readings contextually and in terms of content (stated and implied). The end goal is to enable students to understand and appreciate our rich past by deriving insights from those who were actually present at the time of the event.

Context analysis considers the following: (i) the historical context of the source (time and place it was written and the situation at the time), (ii) the author's background, intent (to the extent discernable), and authority on the subject, and (iii) the source's relevance and meaning today.

Content analysis, on the other hand, applies appropriate techniques depending on the type of source (written, oral, visual). In the process students will be asked, for example, to identify the author's main argument or thesis, compare point of view, identify biases, and evaluate the author's claim based on the evidence presented or other available evidence at the time. The course will guide the students through their reading and analysis of the texts and require them to write reaction essays of varied length and present their ideas in other ways (CHED, 2017).
