4. LEARNING TOPICS / CONTENT :
1. The Nature of Man : An Overview :
Study of Man is a unique area of study since it takes man as the subject
and object of knowledge ( According to Martin Buber ). One has to enter
completely to reality in order to become aware of human nature and wholeness.
Man are Humans (known taxonomically as Homo sapiens, Latin for

"wise man" or "knowing man" are the only living species in the Homo genus.
Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago,
reaching full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago.
Man as Humans have highly developed brain and are capable of

abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental
capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for
manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than
any other living species on Earth. Other higher-level thought processes of
humans, such as self-awareness and rationality are considered to be defining
features of what constitutes a Man as Humans into as “ Person “
Man as Humans are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of

communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization.
Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and
competing groups, from families to nations. Social interactions between
humans have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms,
and rituals, which together form the basis of human society.
Man as Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence
their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate phenomena through
science, philosophy, mythology, and religion. This natural curiosity has led to
the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down
culturally; humans are the only species known to build fires, cook their food,
clothe themselves, and create and use numerous other technologies and arts.
The study of Man as humans is the scientific discipline of anthropology.
2. Man according to Some Western Philosophers :
Man ( in the words of Thales ) “ Man born from

other animals – quickly find nourishment for themselves;
man alone needs a lengthly period of sucking, so that he
had been originally as he is now, he could never have
survived “
According to Engelber Van Croonerburg : The Western world, also known as the West, refers to
various regions, nations and states, most often consisting of the
majority of Europe, Northern America and Australasia. The

Rogers ( Self concept ) and Abraham Maslow
( Hierarchy of Human Needs )
This model is characterized more by its positive

growth than by coherent set of principles of
personality development of Man.

than from science.

century. It emphasize the breakdown of traditional faith, the
depersonalization of the individual to make his existence meaningful
– to make his life count on something.

1. Structural Properties – each man as a living system

possess parts and sub systems which is independent
and has combined action enable the system to function
as an integrated unit.

5. LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES :
The teacher's fundamental task is to get students to engage in learning activities that are likely
to result in achieving [the intended learning] outcomes. It is helpful to remember that what the student
does is actually more important that what the teacher does. ( Schuell, 1986, p.429 )
It is vitally and equally important that each activity is meaningful, and ensures student
development and advancement through this module unit. Activities should build in enabling the
students to engage with and develop their skills, knowledge and understandings in different
ways. Meaningful activities engage students in active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and
cooperative ways.
This unit module has been designed to specifically develop an outcome-based learning and
teaching interactive activities to :
 Remember by Recognizing An overviewing of Man as Human;

 Understand by Describing the Perceptions of Man ( Western Philosophers );
 Apply by Defining the Perceptions of Man ( Oriental Philosophers );
 Analyze by Illustrating the Psychosocial Models of Man; and
 Evaluate by Appraising the System Approaches and value the properties of Man
6. FLEXIBLE TEACHING LEARNING MODALITY ( FTLM ) ADAPTED :
The global pandemic of novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 has forced and reshaped the
contour of education by shifting from face-to-face instruction to full online virtual platform or flexible
teaching learning modalities. These modalities of instruction, flexible teaching learning (FTL)
appears to be the most practical because it lacks restriction of time, place, and pace of study. The
Teacher- Learner engagement using the learning Management System (LMS ) in this module which
has customized to ensure the delivery of teaching and learning documents which includes :
SYNCHRONOUS ONLINE DISTNACE LEARNING using Google Meet

(formerly known as Hangouts Meet) is a video-communication service
developed by Google.
ASYNCHRONOUS ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING using Google Classroom

for Education. Classroom is already included in Google Workspace for
Education and works seamlessly with Google Workspace collaboration
tools.
7. ASSESSMENT TASK AND EVALUATION :
According to Grant Wiggins (1998), an authentic assessment is realistic, requires judgment and
innovation., asks the student to “do” the subject, replicates or simulates the contexts in which adults are “tested”
in the workplace or in civic or personal life, assesses the student’s ability to efficiently and effectively use a
repertoire of knowledge and skills to negotiate a complex task and allows appropriate opportunities to rehearse,
practice, consult resources, and get feedback on and refine performances and products.
The within the unit learning tasks and evaluation as a tool in the measurement and assessment of the
learning impact and magnitude of this unit module, the academic subject handler will be providing SELF
LEARNING ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES which include SKETCH NOTING and INTERPRETATIVE
POSTER/PHOTOGRAPHS ( Instructional advisories on these learning activities will be progressively posted in
the Flexible Teaching – Learning Modality ( FTLM ) Adapted ) in order to ensure the achievement of the
learning objectives and to carry out the accomplishment of the learning activities.
