LESSON 1. INTRODUCTION OF NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM (R.A. NO.

9163)

Pursuant to Section 12 of Republic Act No. 9163, otherwise known as the National Service
Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Department of National Defense
(DND), in consultation with concerned government agencies, the Philippine Association of State
Universities and Colleges (PASUC), the coordinating Council of Private Education Association of
the Philippines (COcOPEA), Non-Government Organizations and recognized student
organizations, hereby jointly issue, adopt and promulgate the following implementing rules and
regulations to implement the provisions of the Act.

BRIEF HISTORY OF NSTP

National Service Training Program (NSTP) started with the passage of Commonwealth Act
No. 1 also known as National Defense Act. An act to provide national defense of the Philippines
penalizing certain violations thereof appropriating funds therefore, and for other purposes. This
is under the government of President Manuel L. Quezon (1935). It requires college students,
specifically males to finish 2 years or 4 semesters of Military Training to be reserved cadets of
the National Defense of the country.

In August 8, 1980, the Commonwealth Act No. 1 was amended to give existence to
Presidential Decree No. 1706 or National Service Law which mandates compulsory
national service to all citizens of the country. It is composed of three main component
programs, namely Civic Welfare Service (CWS), Law Enforcement Service (LES), and Military
Service. College students were given an option to choose one among these components to
comply as a requirement of tertiary education.
After the ouster of President Marcos, the implementation of the National Service Law except the
provisions of Military Service was suspended by Presidential Memorandum Order No. 1 of
President Corazon C. Aquino. It became Basic Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) that took
effect on SY 1986-1987.

In the year 1991, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 7077 modified the
Basic ROTC Course to Expanded ROTC Program as mandated. The modification is composed of
military subject in the first year and any of the following components: MTS, CWTS, and LES in
the second year curriculum.

On March 18, 2001, a dead body was found wrapped in a carpet and floating in the Pasig River.
The face was wrapped in packing tape and the hands and face were bounded Body was
identified as Mark Welson Chua, 19-year-old Engineering Student University of Santo Tomas
(UST), reportedly a victim of illegal ROTC practices lead to a massive protest of the college
students and concerned parents against the ROTC program. Since then, Expanded ROTC
program morphed into National Training Service Program (NSTP).

RATIONALE OF THE NATIONAL SERVICE TRATNT VICE TRAINING PROGRAM

(NSTP)-CIVIC WELFARE TRAINING SERVICE (CWTS) AND LITERACY TRAINING
SERVICE (LTS)

The conceptualization and the establishment of the NSTP for the tertiary level students is
amended in the Republic Act 7077 and Presidential Decree No. 1706. This was enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives in Congress, which is known as the National Service
Training, Act of 2001.

NSTP is program aimed at enhancing the civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the
youth by developing the ethics of service and patriotism undergoing training in any of the three
program components, especially designed to enhance the youth active contribution to the
general welfare (Section 4, RA 9163).

Literacy Training Service refers to the program component designed to train the students to
teach literacy and numeracy skills to school children, out-of-school youths and other segments
of society which are considerably need of their services.
The Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) is one of the NSTP components as an option vice
ROTC of the incoming freshmen male or female students effective SY2002-2003(Section 4, RA
9163). In this program, the students would undergo lectures/activities contributory to the
general welfare and the betterment of life or the members of the community and to render
services particularly the enhancement of instructional support materials and facilities in the
following areas:

a. Improving health
b. Education
c. Environment
d. Entrepreneurship
e. Safety
 f. Recreation
g. Morale of the citizenry
h. Other social services

In the second semester, the students will undergo actual community service involvement.
Projects and activities are designed to encourage the youth to contribute in the improvement of
the general welfare and the quality life for the local community applying various institutional
components. More particularly, these are in terms of health education, safety, livelihood,
environment, and the morale of the citizenry.

The students would be oriented of the implementation guidelines of the NSTP IRR 9163, to
understand the reasons and purposes of the NSTP Law as part of their curriculum. The teaching
learning is focused in the development of the youth to become assets of the community, society
and to the nation as a whole. Thus making them aware of their great role as individual to the
development of the nation.

Teaching learning experiences in the subjects would be centered in:

1. Value integration
2. promotion and reformation
3. Self-awareness
4. Basic leadership training
5. Values development integration
6. Dimensions of development
7. Community exposure/agency visits
8. Community needs assessment
9. Development of project proposals

The topics of activities to be considered would be nurturance of the importance and role of
positive virtues, val the attitudes, and development of service oriented characteristics
individuals as well as their responsibility towards mankind and the environment.

The importance of CWTS as a whole is geared towards the development and re-direction of
positive values and attitude among students. This is by giving them the chance to see that they
can create a difference in their own ways. Thus, making them appreciate their role and
responsibilities not only as students but also as an individual that can contribute to the
betterment of life be it in their family, community and to the nation as a whole.

Teacher’s Insight

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness
and defense preparedness in the youth by developing the
ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training
in any of its three (3) program components. These
various components are specially designed to enhance
the youth's active contribution to the general welfare that
include: the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, the Civic
Welfare Training Service and the Literacy Training
Service.

This special program is designed for the general welfare

and the betterment of life for the members of the
community as well as the enhancement of its facilities,
especially those devoted to improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety,
recreation and moral of the citizenry and other social welfare services.

NSTP is anchored on its legal foundation - the Republic Act 7077 and Presidential Decree No. 1706
which was enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress, which is known as the
National Service Training, Act of 2001.

It is a potent instrument for development geared towards the inculcation of the true ideals of
leadership and community service. To sum up, NSTP help propel the youth to the path of righteous
living. Most especially, it aim to develop youth about self-awareness, leadership, desirable Filipino
values and other areas or dimensions of community development.

LESSON II: VALUES EDUCATION

SELF AWARENESS AND SELF-MANAGEMENT

In the course of one's life, one has developed a personality. This is brought by
upbringing, schools, training, but also in normal interactions with the people one mingle
with. This personality reacts to signals from your surroundings according to a pattern
that is successful to you, and you try to get and maintain a certain position in that
world. Success can be either positive or negative, negative attention is also a form of
success for a personality.

The key to knowing inner Self is: AWARENESS. Conscious of the thing one does, but not
to judge or act on them. To be just being aware of the thoughts and feelings, but do not
believe that they are a reality in itself. Allow things to go by. One must not in a hurry in
certain process because everything has its own time in its own nature.

An inner self is subtler; it can easily be overpowered by one's personality due to

its nature of defenselessness. It will wait until one had returned to its original and Tree
will or choice. It also takes experience to be able to tell the difference.

SELF-AWARENESS

Self-awareness is defined as an awareness or one personality or individuality. It includes

paying attention to our many senses, thoughts, feelings and intuition, diving deep into
our emotions to tap their sources and seeing our thinking and how it creates our reality.
Thus self-awareness involves discovering our deepest essence.

As you grow in self-awareness, you will better understand why you feel what you feel
and why you behave as you behave. That understanding then gives you the opportunity
and freedom to change those things you'd like to change about yourself and create the
life you want. Without fully knowing who you are, self-acceptance and change become
impossible.
In the Johari’s Window below there are four selves that represent you. A Joharis’s
window is a cognitive psychological tool created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in
1955 in the United States, used to help people better understand their interpersonal
communication and relationships. It is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate
settings as a heuristic

1.1 Johari’s window

 1. The Open Self. This represents all the information, behaviors, attitudes, feelings,
desires, motivations, ideas, and so on, that you know about yourself and that others
also know about you.
2. The Blind Self. This represents information about yourself about which neither you
nor others know.
3. The Unknown Self. This represents those parts of yourself about which neither you
nor others know.
4. The Hidden Self. This contains all that you know of yourself but keep hidden from
others.

1.2 Nature of Self and Self-awareness

According to Birch (1997), one of the most crucial processes in the early years of the child's life
is the development of sense of self. Gardner (1982) thus suggests that there are a number of
factors that the children should know. They should

 be aware of their own body, its appearance, state and body size;
 be able to refer to themselves appropriately through language and be able to distinguish
descriptions which apply to self and which do not;
 be aware of their own personal history, experiences they have had, skills and abilities
acquired, their own needs and wishes.
1.3 Importance of Self-awareness

The better you understand yourself, the better you are able to accept or change who you are.
Being in the dark about yourself means that you will continue to get caught up in your own
internal struggles and allowed outside forces to mold and shape you.

Having clarity about who you are and what you want (and why you want it), empowers you to
consciously and actively make those wants a reality. Otherwise, you'll continue to get "caught
up" in your own internal dramas and unknown beliefs, allowing unknown thought processes to
determine your feelings and actions.

If you think about it, not understanding why you do what you do, and feel what you feel is like
going through your life with a stranger's mind. How do you make wise decisions and choices if
you don't understand why you want what you want? It's a difficult and chaotic way to live never
knowing what this stranger is going to do next,

As we move toward the 21 st century, the knowledge-based economy demands that we upgrade
our knowledge and skills to keep up with the ever –changing society. However, the starting
point should be the knowledge of oneself as a unique individual and how one relates to this
new economy. After knowing yourself you will have the capability to chart your own destiny and
realize your potential.

SELF-MANAGEMENT

Success is not just a result of luck or fortune. It is always the result of something else,
something that leads up to it. Shad Helmstetter, (2000) enumerated the five steps that control
our success or failure as follows:

2.1 The Self- Management Sequence

1. Behavior. This is the most crucial step in determining success or failure. Behavior means
our actions. How we act, what we do, each moment of each day will determine whether or not
we will be successful that moment in everything we do.

2. Feelings. Every action we take is first filtered through our feelings. That is, if we feel good
or positively about something, we will behave more positively about it. Our feelings thus directly
influence our actions. And our feelings are created, controlled, determined or influenced by our
attitudes.

3. Attitudes. Attitudes are the perspective from which we view our lives. Some are optimistic
while some are pessimistic. In fact, our attitudes play a very important role to our success. And
good attitudes are created, controlled or influenced entirely by our beliefs.

4. Beliefs. Belief does not require that something be the way we see to be. It only requires us
to believe that it is Moreover, belief does not require something to be true. It only requires us
to believe that it is true.

5. Programming. The programming or conditioning by our parents and our environment have
created reinforced, and nearly permanently cemented most of what we believe about most of
what goes on around us. It is therefore our programming that sets up our belier, Our belief
creates attitudes, attitudes create feelings, feelings affects our behavior, behavior determines
actions and actions create results which determine our success or failure.

2.2 Twelve Rules for Self-Management

1. Live by your values, whatever they are. You confuse people when you don't, because they
can't predict how you'll behave.
2. Speak up! No one can "hear" what you're thinking without you be willing to stand up for it.
Mind-reading is something most people can't do.

3. Honor your own good word, and keep the promises you make. If not, people eventually stop
believing most of what you say, and your words will no longer work for you.

4. When you ask for more responsibility, expect to be held fully accountable. This is what
seizing ownership of something is all about; it's usually an all or nothing kind of thing, and so
you've got to treat it that way.

5. Don't expect people to trust you if you aren't willing to be trustworthy for them first and
foremost. Trust is an outcome of fulfilled expectations.

6. Be more productive by creating good habits and rejecting bad ones. Good habits corral your
energies into a momentum-building rhythm for you; bad habits sap your energies drain you.

7. Have a good work ethic, for it seems to be getting rare today. Curious, for those "old-
fashioned" values like dependability, timeliness, professionalism and diligence are prized more
than ever before. Be action-oriented. Seek to make things work. Be willing to do what it takes.

8. Be interesting. Read voraciously, and listen to learn, then teach and share everything you
know. No one owes you their attention; you have to earn it and keep attracting it.

9. Be nice. Be courteous, polite and respectful. Be considerate. Manners still count for an awful
lot in life, and thank goodness they do.

10. Be self-disciplined. That's what adults are supposed to "grow up" to be.

11. Don’t be a victim or a martyr. You always have a choice, so don't shy from it: Choose and
choose without regret. Look forward and be enthusiastic.

12. Keep healthy and take care of yourself. Exercise your mind, body and spirit so you can be
someone people count on, and so you can live expansively and with abundance.

LESSON III. THE HUMAN PERSON AND VALUES DEVELOPMENT

Important Realities of the Human Person

The Self-Image. Self-image refers to a person's understanding of himself/herself. It is

responsible in influencing people's way of living. The formation of self-image is derived from
two sources: others and the experiences of these self. There three kinds of self-image as
follows:

 Negative self-image - delves on limitations and differences rather than assets

  Overrated self-image - stresses on the positive traits.
 Realistic self-image - based on the real self

2. The others. These are the referred persons or groups considered important and given the
right to influence
One’s self.
3. The Being. It is the mainspring or a motivating force in the human person. It is also referred
as the wellspring fountainhead of one's identity, one's essential course of action, and one's
essential bonds. There are seven approaches to get in touch with the Being:

Approach by way of the self-image

Approach by way of important choices

4. The "I". The "I" has three different aspects. These are intellect, the freedom, and the wall.
5. The Sensibility and the Body. These are the important realities of the human person.

Human Person’s Dimension and His Needs

Human needs are an important part of human nature. Values, beliefs, and customs differ from
country to country and group to group, but all people have similar needs. As a leader you must
understand these needs because they are powerful motivators.

Abraham Maslow felt that human needs were arranged in a hierarchical order (Maslow, 1954).
He based his theory on healthy, creative people who used all their talents, potential, and
capabilities. At the time, this methodology differed from most other psychological research in
that it was based on observing disturbed people.

There are two major groups of human needs: basic needs and meta needs. Basic needs are
physiological, such as food, water, and sleep; and psychological, such as affection, security, and
self-esteem. These basic needs are also called deficiency needs because they are not met by an
individual, then that person will strive to make up the deficiency. The higher needs are called
meta needs or being needs (growth needs). These include justice, goodness, beauty, order,
unity, etc. Basic needs normally take priority over growth needs. For example, a person who
lacks food or water will not normally attend to justice or beauty needs. These needs are listed
below in hierarchical order. The basic needs on the bottom of the list (1 to 4) must normally be
met before the meta or being needs above them can be met. The four meta needs (5 to 😎 can
be pursued in any order, depending upon a person’s wants or circumstances, as long as the
basic needs have all been met.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

8. Self-transcendence a transgenic (see Note below) level that emphasizes visionary intuition,
altruism, and unity consciousness.
7. Self-actualization - know exactly who you are, where you are going, and what you want to
accomplish. A state of well-being.6. Aesthetic at peace, more curious about the inner workings
of all things.
5. Cognitive - learning for learning alone, contribute knowledge.
4. Esteem - feeling of moving up in world, recognition, few doubts about self.
3. Belongingness and love - belong to a group, close friends to confide with.
2. Safety- feel free from immediate danger.
1. Physiological - food, water, shelter, sex.

Maslow posited that people want and are forever striving to meet various goals. Because the
lower level needs are more immediate and urgent, then they come into play as the source and
direction of person’s goal if they are not satisfied.

A need higher in the hierarchy will become a motive of behavior as long as the needs below it
have been satisfied. Unsatisfied lower needs will dominate unsatisfied higher needs and must
be satisfied before the person can climb up the hierarchy.

4.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-ACTUALIZING PEOPLE:

 Have better perceptions of reality and are comfortable with it.
 Accept themselves and their own natures.
 Lack of artificiality.
 They focus on problems outside themselves and are concerned with basic issues
and eternal questions.
  They like privacy and tend to be detached.
 Rely on their own development and continued growth.
 Appreciate the basic pleasures of life (e.g. do not take blessings for granted).
 Have a deep feeling of kinship with others.
 Are deeply democratic and are not really aware of differences.
 Have strong ethical and moral standards.
 Are original, inventive, less constricted and fresher than others

HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND MOTIVATION

Motivation is the set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behavior.
According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical
pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a
desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent
reasons such as altruism, morality, or avoiding mortality.

Motivation is very important among educators because of the crucial role it plays in student
learning. However, the specific kind of motivation that is studied in the specialized setting of
education differs qualitatively from the more general forms of motivation studied by
psychologists in other fields.

Motivation in education can have several effects on how student learn and how they behave
towards subject matter. It can:
1. Direct behavior toward particular goals
2. Lead to increased effort and energy
3. Increase initiation of, and persistence in, activities
4. Enhance cognitive processing
5. Determine what consequences are reinforcing
6. Lead to improved performance.
Because students are not always internally motivated, they sometimes need situated
motivation, which is found in environmental conditions that the teacher creates. The two kinds
of motivation are as follows:
 Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do
something because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or
they feel that what they are learning is significant.
 Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do
something or act a certain way because of factors external to him or her (like
money or good grades).

VALUES
Value is derived from the Latin word, valere, to be worth, be strong-something intrinsically
valuable, or desirable. A thing has value when it is perceived as good and desirable. Thus,
values development is the act, process or result of developing the values for a human dignity.

It can also be said that values are the bases of judging what attitudes and behavior are correct
and desirable and what are not. Fittingly, Microsoft® Encarta® 2007 defined values as the
accepted principles or standards of a person or a group. Different theorists define values as
follows:
 A value is a conception, explicit or implicit, distinctive of an individual or
characteristics of a group, of the desirable which influences the selection from
available modes, means and ends of action. - Clyde Kluckholm
 Value refers to the understanding of a certain good for an individual or society
which is considered worthy or realization. - Cornelius Van Der Poel.
 Something that is freely chosen from alternatives and is acted upon, that which
the individual celebrates as being part of the creative integration in development
as a person.
Therefore, a value is something or someone who is considered good or worthy and is desirable
or useful. It can be something considered good or worthy by a person or a group or a one-word
standard of conduct or a policy everyone in an organization adheres to and believe in.

Basic and Core Values

A universally acceptable value is one that produces behavior that is both beneficial both
to the practitioner and to those on whom it is practiced. Thus, Linda Eyre (1993)
categorizes values as the value of being and the values of giving.

with self. The inner strength and confidence are bred by exacting truthfulness

Two factors Affecting Values Formation

Lesson 8. VALUES EDUCATION & FORMATION

Values Education

Values Education refers to the process that gives young people an initiation into values, giving
knowledge of the rules needed to function in this mode of relating to other people, and to seek
the development in the student a grasp of certain underlying principles, together with the ability
to apply these rules intelligently, and to have the settled disposition to do so. Some researchers
use the concept values education as an umbrella of concepts that includes moral education and
citizenship education Themes that values education can address to varying degrees are
character, moral development, religious education, spiritual development, citizenship education,
personal development, social development and cultural development.

Values education is therefore a term used to name several things, and there is much academic
controversy surrounding it. Some regard it as all aspects of the process by which teachers (and
other adults) transmit values to pupils. Others see it as an activity that can take place in any
organization during which people are assisted by others, who may be older, in a position of
authority or are more experienced, to make explicit those values underlying their own behavior,
to assess the effectiveness of these values and associated behavior for their own and others'
long term well-being and to reflect on and acquire other values and behavior which they
recognize as being more effective for long term well-being of self and others.

This means that values education can take place at home, as well as in schools, colleges,
universities, institutions and voluntary youth organizations. The Christian value formation is a
lifelong process of growing which gets its strength from Jesus' teachings and sermons.

Values Formation Two Factors Affecting Values Formation

Influences - These depend on a person's internal influences such as intellectual and emotional
capabilities

Experience Factor- like good influences, good experiences are needed in value formation.
Four Types of Experiences that Influence or Affect the Formation of Values
1. Liturgical Experiences
2. Bible Experience
3. Learning Experience
4. Human Experience
Teacher’s Insight

Self-awareness involves discovering our

deepest essence. As you grow in self-
awareness, you will better understand why you
feel what you feel and why you behave as you
behave.

To help people better understand their

interpersonal communication and relationships,
a cognitive psychological tool called Johari
window is very useful.

Success can be obtained depending on one's

behavior, feelings, attitude, belief, and programming.

To really understand human nature, and have good good relations with other people one
must understand the Important Realities of the Human Person and apply the Ten
Commandments of Human Relations.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs shows the eight different stages of human needs. It shows
that a person should first satisfy his basic needs before he is able to satisfy self-
actualization and self-transcendence.

Motivation direct behavior toward particular goals, lead to increased effort and energy,
increase initiation of, and persistence in activities, enhance cognitive processing, determine
what consequences are reinforcing, and lead to improved performance. It has two kinds
such as intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.

Values refer to the understanding of a certain good for an individual or society which is
considered worthy or realization. It has two categories such as the values of being and the
values of giving.

Filipino values from rooted from different factors. It has strengths and weaknesses and all
we need to do is to apply its strengths and improve its weakness.

Values education is an umbrella of concepts that includes moral education and citizenship
education. Values can be formed and transformed based on experiences and influences.
