integrated ateneo Formation Program

The Loyola Schools’ inaF program is aimed towards the formation of persons-for-and-with-others who will contribute meaningfully to the transformation of Philippine society as servant-leaders engaged in various fields of endeavor. in line with the formation of the whole person characteristic of Jesuit education, the inaF program seeks to provide students with opportunities that can help develop and integrate the personal, academic, socio-cultural, and spiritual dimensions that comprise each student’s person. in forming students to be professionals-for-and-with-others, the inaF program seeks to develop graduates who are: able to apply their academic competence and training in the service of nation building; conscious of their responsibilities as global citizens; guided by ignatian discernment and rooted in a personal relationship with god; strongly oriented to faith and justice; and critically rooted in their culture. To achieve the abovementioned goals, all undergraduate students of the Loyola Schools undergo four programs as part of their holistic formation—the introduction to ateneo culture and Traditions (inTacT), the National Service Training Program PLUS (nstp plus), the Junior engagement Program

Four inaF Developmental Programs

First Year: Introduction to Ateneo Culture and Traditions (InTACT)The inTacT program aims to help first year students develop self-awareness and self-empowerment by providing them with opportunities to take a closer look at themselves and at how they relate to their family, friends, school, country, and god. as students are welcomed into the ateneo community and introduced to the university’s culture and traditions—which are rooted in Filipino,

catholic and Jesuit values—they not only go through a journey of self-discovery but one of formative growth as well. The inTacT program is designed to assist students in their academic adjustment to college life; raise their self-awareness; introduce them to the value of ignatian Spirituality; and develop their sense of community and awareness of social realities.

Second Year: National Service Training Program PLUS (nstp plus) The nstp plus was conceived in response to the National Service Training Program (nstp) act of 2001 or republic act 9163, which seeks to “promote civic consciousness among the youth and … develop their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-being. it shall inculcate in the youth patriotism, nationalism, and advance their involvement in public and civic affairs.” as such, the

program seeks to develop the ethics of social involvement and patriotism among sophomores as they undergo training in any of the following components—civic welfare Training Service (cwts) or reserved officers Training corps (rotc). The nstp plus aims to provide students with opportunities to get to know their neighbor from the marginalized sectors of society and to respond to the call of being a gift to others through their particular academic disciplines or fields of interest. These opportunities also hope to deepen the students’ knowledge of themselves through the continuous exploration of their gifts.

4 | NSTP PLUS

Third Year: Junior Engagement Program ( jeep)To enable third year students to further engage the world beyond the self, the jeep aims to help juniors develop a deeper awareness of their responsibility towards the “other” and of their role as members of society. The jeep is designed to provide opportunities that will allow students to critically engage in the life experiences of people who experience, or work to address the reality of marginalization.

Through these experiences, it is hoped that students will gain an understanding of the various contexts of the “other” in relation to economic, political, and socio-cultural realities as well as grow in social responsibility.

Fourth Year: Senior Integration Program (sip)The sip aims to help graduating students reflect on and integrate their ateneo college experience in light of their personal vocation and the call to help build the nation. by helping seniors discern how their respective disciplines and future career decisions can respond effectively to societal needs, the program seeks to form graduates who will be catalysts for change as professionals-for-and-with-others.

The sip is designed to form leaders who possess a strong sense of their personal giftedness, competence in their respective fields of study, a genuine desire and commitment to be of service to the nation, and a capacity to ground their decisions in ignatian discernment.

National Service training Program

NStP components

Signed into law in 2001, republic act 9163 or the National Service Training Program (nstp) act seeks to “promote civic consciousness among the youth and shall develop their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. it shall inculcate in the youth patriotism, nationalism, and advance their involvement in public and civic affairs.”

NStP PlUS as inaF Program

in the ateneo, the nstp plus aims to provide holistic development and formation in four key areas: personal and interpersonal development, spiritual development, social, and cultural formation, as well as leadership development. To achieve this, students are provided with opportunities to get to know their neighbor from the marginalized sectors of society and respond to the call of being a gift to others through their particular academic disciplines or fields of interest. These opportunities also hope to deepen the students’ knowledge of themselves through the continuous exploration of their gifts, enhance their commitment to pursue personal growth and increase their sense of god’s personal love. nstp plus is an integrated student formation effort among various Loyola Schools offices such as the office for Social concern and involvement (osci), the office of the campus ministry (ocm), the office of guidance and counseling (ogc), the office of Student activities (osa), and the office of the associate dean for Student Formation (adsf).

nstp plus Expected Learning Outcomesat the end of the program, the students were able to: • Critically reflect on their experience • Critically analyze their experience using the Sustainable Livelihood framework • Apply technical skills in their area engagements • Demonstrate socio-emotional skills in their area engagements • Demonstrate generosity in service.

8 | NSTP PLUS

Discipline-basedit is an ateneo approach to formation that makes use of knowledge and skills related to one’s discipline or course to serve development institutions and marginalized communities.

Service-LearningService-Learning as a credit-bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.

Program approaches

Pastoral cycle Framework

Experiencea heightened and deepened sense of awareness and

understanding of social realities can be brought about byexperiential learning. Furthermore, one’s preferential

option for the poor places a priority on the experiences,views, needs, feelings and stance of the poor and the most

vulnerable in a community.

Reflectionwhen we come to ask what it means to our faithto evaluate this situation, and what is really mostat stake in this situation, we can be guided by thechurch’s social teachings on human dignity andsolidarity. every person is made in the image of

god. dignity need not be earned; it has been givenas a gift.

AnalysisThe question of why suchconditions exist will beguided by those whose

rights are being violated andwhose responsibilities arecalled upon to change thesituation. The language ofrights and responsibilities

rooted in the humandignity of each person inthe community pushesanalytical approachesbeyond economic and

political causes to social andcultural causes.

Actionwhat to do is an inevitablequestion in the movement

around the pastorallearning cycle. Two

principles of the church’ssocial teachings orientthe threefold responseof planning, action and

evaluation. The first is theprinciple that places actionat the lowest level possible:solidarity. The second isthe principle that reckons

the most efficient, equitableand sustainable use of

resources...stewardship.

Processing SessionsThese small group sessions, conducted at most twice every semester, aim to facilitate the sharing of the students’ reflections and analysis of their experiences.

Social AnalysisStudents should be able to define marginalization, analyze and identify issues of marginalization in the community or institution using basic needs, capability deprivation, and Sustainable Lives and Livelihood Framework as a tool for analysis and action.

RecollectionThe recollection provides students an opportunity for silence and solitude to see how one’s relationship and attitude is towards one’s neighbor and god. Students are invited to look at how one receives and welcomes christ as a person, as a gift in one’s life, and reflect on the concrete ways one is invited to be christ-like: a gift to one’s neighbor.

Skills Training sessions are required to attend a make-up session. however, cuts incurred for such an absence will remain.

b. Students will not be allowed to participate in the area engagement without the proper orientation and training.

area responsibilities • Designate field of engagement • Implement monitoring system for student

activities • Identify emergency plan

Rationale: It is the primary responsibility of the formators to ensure the safety and security of the students. However, students also have obligations to ensure the safety and security of the community people, the formator and their peers as well.

These responsibilities are: 1. knowing basic information such as objectives,

schedules, requirements etc.2. Looking after one’s and peers’ belongings.3. being a brother’s/sister’s keeper—accountability

to peers and area4. respect for (written and verbal) guidelines set

by osci, partner institution/community and the University

5. conduct oneself according to the objectives of the program and context of the area

6. observe parameters of engagement a. during area engagements, students should be

in their appropriate nstp plus uniform: nstp plus shirt, pants, and closed shoes.i. it is the responsibility of the student to

inform the formator and the monitor if he/she is not in complete uniform. Failing to do so can merit a dishonesty case.

student manual | 15

Task-related/Technical competency responsibility of the student to perform their task with the required competencies

Rationale: Students are expected to provide high quality outputs as a result of their best efforts and their desire to be excellent in serving. Professionalism is expected from every student, therefore it is their responsibility to prepare for each engagement and to execute activities with diligence and care.

it is the responsibility of students to: 1. attend task-related orientation and training

of the programa. Students will not be allowed to participate

in the area engagements without the proper orientation and training. Students who missed the orientations and Skills Trainings sessions are required to attend a make-up session. however, cuts incurred for such an absence will remain. area engagements missed for not having the said trainings are considered absences.

2. bring and use materials necessary for the implementation of their task

3. Submit required outputs4. Follow institutional policies and university

research ethics5. any form of dishonesty committed in the

context of nstp plus shall automatically merit a disciplinary case.

16 | NSTP PLUS

Attendance and Participation • Active engagement in all activities • Physical presence in all activities • Punctuality • Diligence in informing the nstp plus

formator about concerns and absences

Rationale: Whether in class or in the area, each student is expected to actively participate and show respect to other people. Students are expected to be punctual at all times.

1. Students are only allowed 10 hours of absences from all the nstp plus activities. incurring more than 10 hours of absences would mean withdrawal from the course.

2. Students are required to inform their formator in advance if they will be absent for an area engagement. Unforeseen absences should also be reported as soon as possible.

3. Students incurring absences should submit an absence report Form signed by the following:a. adaa for representations,

i. if a student misses any nstp plus activity for representing the school or the country such as competitions or conferences, or was unable to do so due to bad weather, he/she can request for an alternative activity.

b. Parent or guardian for bad weather, medical concerns, or family emergencies

c. concerned professor for academic conflict. i. if a student misses an nstp plus activity

scheduled outside the enrolled nstp plus schedule due to conflict with academics, he/she can request for an alternative activity. an example of this scenario would be a student enrolled to nstp plus on a Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm, misses a Social anaysis scheduled on a monday, 6:00-7:30pm due to a departmental long test or a make-up class.

it should be submitted at least 2 working days before the absence if foreseen, and at most 7 working days after if unforeseen. No alternative activities will be given to students who do not comply or who do not fit the said description of absence.

4. Students who missed nstp plus activities for attending inTacT exposure trips as Student Facilitators, or immersions will not be marked absent.

5. Students are expected to complete the time required for each activity. Students who leave before the end of the session will be given a cut equal to the number of hours for that activity.

6. There is a 15-minute grace period for ateneo-based activities. arriving beyond the grace period would mean a 0.5 hour cut on the student’s record. arriving 20 minutes after the session’s schedule is considered an absence.

7. every student must monitor his or her number of absences and/or tardiness in the program.

Ateneo-Based Activities are sessions that are held within the campus.

Requirements are assigned by your formator.

Area Engagements grades are given by your area monitors in your assigned communities.

Range of Letter Gradesa 92% - 100%b+ 87% - 91.99%b 83% - 86.99%c+ 79% - 82.99%c 75% - 78.99%d 70% - 74.99%F below 70%

Ateneo-Based Activitiesateneo-based activities are held withinthe campus. These will be rated by yourformator based on the following indicators: • Echoed knowledge on the topic (recitation) • Accomplished tasks well (output) • Asked questions that are related to the topic • Showed respect to blockmates and facilitator

Assessment of Submitted Papers (Reflection, Reaction, Journal, etc.)

Grade DescriptionA 100%

excerpts from

mga Unang Hakbang tungo sa tao Joe vibar Nero

hindi gawaing biro ang “gawaing tao” o gawaing pagtatrabaho kasama ang tao. hindi kasing dali ng “pagparoon at pagparito.” Napakalaking halaga ang hinihingi nito sa isang tao na ang buong kalooban ay nakatuon sa kapwa at sa pagpapahalaga ng kanyang pagkatao. Tinutukoy ang salitang “tao” (ang buong pagkatao) bilang isang indibidwal at bilang bahagi ng isang komunidad ng mga tao, ang bawat kasapi ay buo ang pagkatao: may dangal, pagpapasya, at kalayaan. Layunin ng pagtungo natin sa tao ang gawaing komunidad na makatao at maka-kristiyano, ito ang mga taong bumubuo nito. isang kristiyanong komunidad, isang bayan, isang diyos. dahil tayo’y mga estudyante, limitado ang ating panahon. anong magagawa natin upang pagkasyahin at hindi sayangin?

Pumunta ka sa TaoNapakahalagang dalisay ang hangarin mo sa iyong pagpunta. hindi ka pumunta dahil gusto mo lang, walang mangyayari sa iyo. at pangalawa, kung iniisip mong kailangan ka nila, nagkakamali ka. hindi ka isang mesiyas o isang tagapagligtas. ano ka? Tao, katulad ng mga pupuntahan mong tao.

Tumingin Kaang kahulugan ng salitang tingin at di lamang ang pagtingin ng buong mga mata kundi ng buong pagkatao. ang katotohana’y hubad ang iyong harap! Nasa gitna ka ng hiwaga. huwag kang tumulala! damhin mo ang kanilang nadarama. Tumitibok pa ba ang puso nila?

Makinig Kahuwag kang masyadong mausisa. ingatan mo ang iyong pananalita. higit na mabuti kung huwag ka munang magsalita. Pakinggan mo ang kanilang sinasabi at ang kanilang hindi sinasabi kailanman.

Pumasok ka sa Karanasanhuwag mong hatulan ang iyong nakikita at naririnig. huwag kang padadala sa maling katwiran. Pumasok ka sa kanilang buhay at karanasan, sa kanilang kalooban.

Kilatisin mo ang mga BagayTingnan mo ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng mata ng maykapal.

Manalangin Kahuwag umasa sa sariling lakas. higit mo Siyang kailangan, di tulad ng iyong akala.

Sa Kabuuan...maging magalang at mapagkumbaba. makakatulong ang paggamit ng po, opo, at ho. Laging magpasalamat sa mga kabutihang ipinapakita sa atin. makinig nang mabuti sa sinasabi at gustong sabihin ng kausap. huwag ipilit ang sariling paningin o makipagtalo. maging interesado tayo... huwag mangako ng anumang tulong kung hindi kayang tuparin, kahit na simpleng babalik sa komunidad o institusyon pagkatapos ng nstp... ihanda ang sarili at maging bukas sa anumangmaaring mangyari...
