Readings in Philippine History COURSE OUTLINE
Course Description
This course is specifically designed to facilitate students’ home-based/online learning on Readings in Philippine
History. It analyzes Philippine history from multiple perspectives through the lens of selected primary sources
coming from the various disciplines and of different genres. Students are given opportunities to analyze the author’s
background and main arguments, compare different points of views, identify biases and examine the evidences
presented in the document. The discussion 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, broadminded, morally upright and responsible citizens.
