General Psychology 2013 (Birion)

Authors: Juan C. Birion, Marilou C. Asturias, Elmer G. De Jose, Jane Marie M. Dimacisil, Percival B. Salise, Jonathan B. Tinio, Jan Joseph Villegas

In writing this book, we believe that an introductory- course in psychology should provide clear understanding of what psychologists study, how they think and how they work. We also have a feeling that the teaching of an introductory psychology should cover wide and general topics fitting for a one-semester course covering as many topics that would be useful especially to those who would embark in advanced studies in this interesting academic field_ That is the reason why fifteen chapters are included in this book touching on topics of interest of the various schools of thoughts with varying perspectives. We do not intend to be eclectic, but we believe that psychology should not be structured and retarded due to boundaries in such a way that would hamper new knowledge and discoveries to emerge. Our understanding of human behavior should be continuing through intensive research and let novel theories and assumptions grow since human activities continue to change brought about by new gadgets and technology.. The student should'. able to gain much knowledge of facts and principles governing human behavior_ This is our gain

This book is truly a group effort. Two psychology professors from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Dr. Juan C. Birion who leads the group, together with Prof. Elmer G. De Jose, Assistant to the Vice President for Research; Vice President of Student Affairs of the Rizal Technological University, Dr. Marilou C. Asturian Prof. Jane Marie M. Dimacisil, professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of Perpetual Help-Biñan, Laguna (UPHL); Prof. Percival B. Salise, psychology professor of the University of Manila: Prof. Jonathan B. Tinio, Program Coordinator of the Psychology Unit of the College of Arts and Sciences at Holy Angel University-Angeles City. Pampanga; and Dr. Jan Joseph Villegas, International Lecturer of Psychology and Biological Sciences at the Asia Pacific Region. We were involved in the book's production in one way or another_

This book may not be the perfect book as we envisaged, but it is certainly an adequate representation of the most important areas in psychology. Hopefully, it will advance understanding of human behavior and will lead to newer, snore encompassing and more -useful principles governing human behavior. Its distinct features compared with other books in circulation are the inclusion of topics on history of psychology in the Philippines, and with some special topics on human development, intelligence and cognitive psychology, counseling psychology, social psychology and psychological assessment. Photographs of noted psychologists were illustrated so that students and readers will get familiar to them. Special types of exercises and techniques could help teachers vary in their approaches to teaching and make these approaches interesting and meaningful to students. A general psychology hook should develop in the students the attitude of studying human behavior in a scientific way that psychology is a science. It is to these students that this book is aimed, and it is hoped that the features of the text will help reach its targets.

  • Art Appreciation: Looking Beyond

    Authors: Ronnie Espergal Pasigui, Fabian T. Avila, Jr., Araceli C. Suyat, Warto M. Torrevillas, and Allan V. Pura

    “Come to the edge,” he said.
    They said, “we are afraid.”
    Come to the edge,” he said.
    They came. He pushed them, and they flew.
    (Apollinaire)

    As we stand at the edge of these challenging years, gazing out into its uncharted expanse, some of us feel as if we are stepping out onto a launching pad; others feel at the brink of an abyss. Some see the challenges and the marvels to come and are exhilarated; some see only the certainty of change and its uncertain outcomes and are apprehensive. How amazing it is to note that many instructional materials, textbooks, in particular remained as they were.

    This book is a response to the challenge of writing a newer book in the humanities course. It includes features to aid the students in the understanding of the subject.

    A. Each chapter has the following features to help both the instructor and the student.1

    1. An overview of the chapter
    2. Learning objectives
    3. Key words for understanding
    4. Aids for study
    5. Exercises

    B. Chapters on the different art forms include the following features:

    1. Historical development of the art form
    2. Emphasis on Philippine art
    3. Discussion of Art and Society
    4. Inclusion of websites

    C. Optional chapters for alternative approach in teaching humanities are included:

    1. Functions Of Art (Chapter 3)
    2. Art Theories (Chapter4)
    3. Photography (Chapter 16)
    4. Discipline-based Art Education (Chapter 17)

    D. Instead of including an introductory discussion on literature as an Art, the authors focused on specific literary form— Drama. This is not to underestimate the other literary forms suck as poetry, novels, short stories, etc. Drama 15 a literary form almost within man's existence.

    E. Powerpoint Presentation of selected topics are available for teachers as supplementary materials upon request.

    These features, hopefully give this book an edge!

  • Humanities Art Appreciation

    Authors: Ricardo A. Clores, Jeffrey A. Lubang, Mary Ann J. Salvador, Virginia T. Sanfilip, and Jovito R. Santos Jr.

    Where do we put the humanities and the arts in a nation that budges and prods its students, like a mantra recited on a daily basis, to take skilled works? Today, the demands of the First World markets are nurses, caregivers and call center agents. Tomorrow, First World needs might shift to hotel and restaurant management practitioners, plumbers, electricians, automechanics and the like. As the country sinks deeper in its economic woes, at the same time tightens its grip even more to First World needs, students are left with no other choice but to submit. Not that there is anything wrong with being a caregiver or a call center agent, if this is what a student truly wants, but the condition paints even more of the pathetic and dwindling opportunities and possibilities for Filipino students.
