A Course Module for Art Appreciation

This module aims to develop students’ critical thinking skills, which are vital to creativity. Art appreciation, in particular, encourages students to view things from a variety of perspectives. The majority of the arts are extremely complex, with multiple symbolisms. Finding, examining, and considering all these elements take time. This method of observation and analysis teaches art students to perceive and analyze their surroundings intensely. It also adds to their competence, which can then strengthen critical thinking.

A Course Module for Readings in Philippine History

A Course Module for Readings in Philippine History aims to equip students with relevant historical thinking skills by reading and analyzing primary sources in Philippine history. The emphasis on primary sources corresponds to the thrust of the new General Education Curriculum to view the past through the lens of eyewitnesses. When students are sufficiently grounded in historical understanding, they can offer sound historical analysis to make informed opinions and decisions regarding today’s most pressing issues. This module includes all topics prescribed by the Readings in Philippine History syllabus of the Commission on Higher Education, with additional topics to ensure a balanced selection of relevant primary sources from all periods of Philippine history as well as thematic discussions on social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental history. This approach enables students to understand the past better, deepen their sense of identity, and locate themselves in the greater narrative of the nation.

Each generation has its own understanding of how Jose Rizal lived and has its own interpretation of his works and writings. In this module, the understanding of the Rizal course is suited for the current generation and explains why Rizal remains relevant in today’s society. It also hopes to regain learners’ interest in the works of Rizal by looking at how the state promotes Rizal and how the online world represents and reproduces Rizal’s image, story, context, and ideas, keeping his life story and lessons meaningful to this day. Activities in this module are designed to capitalize on today’s technology, especially the Internet, to provide a timely learning experience to the readers. This can enhance not only the learning process but also young leaders’ appreciation of one of our nation’s heroes. A Course Module for the Life, Works and Writings of Jose Rizal

A Course Module for Purposive Communication

It is natural for humans to communicate. Even before you learn a language, you already communicated through your coos and cries when you were a baby. One interesting, major milestone about your ability to communicate with others happens as early as the first 10 months of your life. The course Purposive Communication is about writing, speaking, and presenting to different audiences for various purposes (CMO No. 20, s. 2007). It highlights the importance of purposeful and meaningful communication in the global and multicultural world we live in. The course is composed of various differentiated and challenging tasks designed to enhance your critical thinking, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing skills and your intercultural competence in communicating with people from diverse backgrounds. You will be exposed to and challenged to use different digital tools to convey your ideas to audiences whose needs are shaped by the peculiarities of their situations and cultures. By the end of the course, you should have acquired and mastered the essential knowledge, skills, and competencies that will help you achieve your academic and professional goals. This module is designed to achieve these objectives.
