Last July, the NSTP Diliman Office launched the “SIDHI: Tatak UPD NSTP Common Modules” knowledge products with nine (9) free instructional materials for NSTP implementers and students of the University of the Philippines Diliman, and the wider public.
This lecture videos aim to complement the first batch of NSTP instructional materials on common and component module topics launched in October 2020. Coming from the root word, “sidhi,” meaning “to intensify,” these knowledge products delve deeper and introduce new concepts on the common modules. Based on the recalibrated outcomes-based education-framed Tatak UPD NSTP 1 course, this series features experienced resource speakers from within and outside the University.
