Filipino 10

Si Rizal at ang Kulturang Filipino

Layunin ng kursong ito na paunlarin ang kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral sa kritikal at mapanuring pagbasa ng mga akda. Layon din nitong lubos na pag-aralan ang panitikang Filipino at ang kulturang kaakibat nito, upang ito’y mapangalagaan at mapaunlad, at nang sa gayon ay magpatuloy bilang isang mahalagang halimbawa para sa kasalukuyang henerasyon. 

Inaasahan ding ang mga mag-aaral ay magiging mahusay sa paggamit ng sariling wika, maging sa pagsulat o sa pang-araw-araw na pakikipagtalastasan.

Learning Outcomes:

Sa dulo ng taong pang-akademiko, inaasahan na ang mga mag-aaral ay magpapakita ng mga kasanayan at kakayahan na katulad ng ipinakita ni Rizal sa kanyang papel sa pakikipaglaban at pagtatanggol ng ating bansa.

Higit na partikular, ang mga mag-aaral ay inaasahang maipamalas ang mga kakayahang pangkabatiran, pandamdamin, at kilos/pangkasanayan sa mga sumusunod na kahahantungan:
  • Nakakapagbigay ng buod ng mahahalagang pangyayari at detalye mula sa iba't ibang akda upang higit na maunawaan ang nilalaman.
  • Nailalapat ang mga aral na nakukuha mula sa mga binasang akda para sa pagiging mas responsableng mamamayan.
  • Nagagamit ang katutubong wika sa pagpapahayag ng sariling mga ideya, damdamin, at karanasan, sa pagsusulat man o pakikipag-usap.
  • Napagsasama-sama ang natutunan sa gramatika at pagsulat upang makalikha ng maayos at makabuluhang komposisyon na sumasalamin sa sariling opinyon at damdamin.
  • Maingat na sinusuri ang angkop na asal at mga halagang moral para sa pagiging makabayan, matapat, at kritikal na mag-aaral.
  • Nakikilahok sa pagpapaunlad ng lipunan gamit ang sariling wika, na nag-aambag sa pagiging produktibo at mahalagang mamamayan.
  • Nakakapagpalitan ng mga pananaw tungkol sa mga problema, aral, o di-pagkakasunduan mula sa mga binasang akda para sa mas mahusay na pakikipagtalastasan.
  • Inaalagaan ang kulturang Pilipino para sa pagpapayabong at pagpapamana nito sa susunod na mga henerasyon.
  • Binibigyan ng pagkakataong balikan at iugnay ang mga natutunan sa mga nakaraang aralin sa kasalukuyang pag-aaral.
