DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
The course introduces students to basic concepts, subjects, and methods of
inquiry in the disciplines that comprise the Social Sciences. It then discusses
influential thinkers and ideas in these disciplines, and relates these ideas to the
Philippine setting and current global trends.

PHILIPPINE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE

This course introduces the students to the basic concepts and vital elements of
politics and governance from a historical-institutional perspective. In particular, it
attempts to explain how the important features of our country’s political
structures/institutions, processes, and relationships developed across time. In the
process, the course helps the learners gain a better appreciation of their rights
and responsibilities as individuals and as members of the larger sociopolitical
community to strengthen their civic competence.

DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES

This course introduces some Applied Social Sciences, namely, Counseling, Social
Work, and Communication, which draw their foundation from the theories and
principles of Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, and other Social Sciences. The
course highlights the seamless interconnectivity of the different applied social
science disciplines while focusing on the processes and applications of these
applied disciplines in critical development areas.

At the end of the course, students shall demonstrate competencies in interacting

and relating with other individuals, groups, and communities; apply social
sciences principles, practices, and tools in addressing the development areas
identified by the class; and analyze how processes in these applied disciplines
work in specific life situations.

The course explores the main tenets and practices of major world religions:
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism,
Confucianism, Taoism and Shintoism. It aims to help learners understand the

and promote mutual understanding among believers of different faiths. They are

focuses on community-action initiatives such as community engagement, solidarity,
and citizenship as guided by the core values of human rights, social justice,
empowerment and advocacy, gender equality, and participatory development. It

blogging, among others, the subject introduces the students to the reading and

skills in reading, and thinking critically and creatively, that will help them to be
imaginative readers and writers.

TRENDS, NETW ORK, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21 ST CENTURY

The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract
meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative
thinking skills-- essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of
care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or
rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze
scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or
concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The
students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social
realities.
