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.
