Rather than rely on secondary materials such as textbooks, which is the usual approach in teaching in 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 st the tome of the event. Context analysis considers the following: (i) the historical context of the source [time and place it was written and 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. Context 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 points of view, identify biases, and evaluate the author’s claim based on the evidences 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 (debate format, power point presentation, letter to the editor of the source, etc.). The instructor may arrange the readings chronologically or thematically, and start with the present (more familiar) and go back to the earlier periods or vice-versa.
