will introduce to you some learning tasks that will help you depict some tendencies in

Let’s Try This
Suggested Time Allotment: 20 minutes
Read the story of Anton, a Senior High School graduate, then answer the processing
questions on a separate sheet of paper.
Anton’s Indecisiveness
Anton who took up the General Academic
Strand in Senior High School has a hard time
deciding what course to enroll in college. He
graduated with honors and has received special
citations. He is great in Science and Math but he is
also into arts and graphic designing. He was told by
his parents to decide for his course since colleges
are already closing admission and the school
opening is approaching fast.
He is spending night analyzing his options.
Sometimes he barely sleeps, over-analyzing all
considerations. There are also pressures from his
friends for him to join them in the university where
there are wide variety of Science course he can choose from. He also considers the
suggestions of his teachers who see his potential in graphic designing and multimedia
arts.
Anton really wants to enroll in the most prestigious school to study the course
that perfectly fits him. After thorough self-deliberation, he comes down to two schools
and four courses. But this does not end his considerations; he still has more factors to
visit.
His family and friends are starting to worry if he could ever make a final decision.
It has finally come one day when everything was in place. Anton finally decides
to enroll! He hurries to the school of his choice, but he’s an hour late! The enrolment
has just closed for his first choice. To add in more to his regrets, his second chosen
program has also reached the maximum number of students and it was closed days
ago.
Sad and full of regrets, Anton goes home thinking of the lost time overthinking
his options. And that is because he can just not make up his mind.
Processing Questions: Write your answers on a sheet of paper.

affects you or your future just like Anton? Share your experience.

Keep in Mind
Suggested Time Allotment: 25 minutes
We make countless choices every day, from the very moment we opened our
eyes in the morning up to the time we fall back to our beds, and our choices are neither
right nor wrong.
According to Steven J. Heine, author of the book Cultural Psychology, choice
is something that is surely valued everywhere; however, the extent to which people
value choices and exercise it is influenced by the context we are in. More choices are
available to individuals acting alone than to those who are part of interdependent group
of people; however, the limits on their choices are likely not experienced as aversive
when individuals share the same goals as their group.
For example, you choose not to attend classes because your peers invited you
to join them outside the school during class hour although you are aware of your
responsibility in the school. This phenomenon is be explained by Rollo May, an
7
American Psychologist, who articulated that human beings are inseparable from their
environment, a simultaneous relationship exists, and involving three models such as
the following: (1) the physical and physiological; (2) the social environment of the
people; and (3) human being’s relationship to their inner nature.
Ludwig Binswanger, an existential psychologist, explained that humans have
complete freedom of choice or free will and are completely responsible for their own
existence. There was always the possibility of becoming something new or better
because existence changes.
How can you correct mistakes from the past? Change your mind set. Change
is always a choice. You need to realize that you can control your own behavior and
need to make better choices. Things don’t just happen. You can take much more
effective control of your life through planning.
What are the strategies to promote change and foresee the possible wrong
decisions and future actions? According to American psychologist Gerald Corey, first
thing is to explore what your wants, needs and perceptions are. Try to recognize,
define, and refine how you wish to meet your needs. Second, focus on what you are
doing at present and think of your future direction. Take action by changing what you
are doing and thinking. Third, make a self-evaluation. It is your responsibility to
evaluate your own behavior. Lastly, formulate your action plan. Creating and carrying
out your plans enable you to gain more effective control over your life. If your plan
does not work, devise a different plan. Your commitment is essential to carry out your
plans.
Factors that affect our decisions
We act or decide based on different considerations and factors. Most
especially if the situations demand a very important decision, we need to carefully
assess our choices and calculate the risk that we might face.
1. Environment. The people around us including the current setup affect the
way we see things. They can influence our beliefs and perception on the
consequences of our actions. There are times that we intend to compare
how they face a certain problem with the way we face it ourselves; this is
something that we need to get away from as we are all different including
the situations we are in.
2. Experiences. Our past encounter with people and the results of our
decisions before mold how we act and decide today. For instance, if you
have proven that a certain person should not be trusted with your secrets,
then you won’t entrust him/her the confidential matters that you have. The
same thing if you have a tested action to be effective like your study habits
which led you to get high grades, then, there is a great possibility to replicate
such practice. Our experiences whether good or bad shape the way we
behave nowadays.

3. Personal characteristics. We should also take into account the function of
our culture, attitude, personality, beliefs, abilities, gender, health condition
and others in terms of our way of making a decision. You have to recognize
that there are enabling and limiting aspects of your personal characteristics.
For instance, in your culture, there may be a stigma on the role of man or
woman. It is now up to you whether you want to live up to that expectation
or not. You may want to look into what science tells about healthy and
unhealthy practices.
4. Facts or data. It is a good practice to decide based on the merit of actual
facts or data. It will definitely inform you on the exact scenario you are
dealing with and you can calculate how your decisions would impact the
situation. For example, you need to decide your curriculum exit. You may
check the number of schools where you can pursue whatever course you
have plan to have. At the same time, you may look into the data on SHS
graduates who were employed after basic education and those that
ventured into business.
5. Motivation. Our drive to achieve certain things influences our decisions.
Sometimes we need to let go of small things in order to attain greater things.
For example, you slipped away your opportunity to be with your friends on
a Saturday because it’s your schedule for college application interview.
Your goal to be a college graduate is bigger than your desire to enjoy the
company of your friends, so you opted to be at the interview.
Your decisions will define the kind of choices you are taking. At the end of the
day, you will be the one to face whatever consequences these decisions bring.
Hence, your decision-making process is very important. If you are in doubt or
confused about your choices, you may want to go to someone who is well
trained to guide and facilitate your decision-making process like a Registered
Guidance Counselor (RGC). If an RGC is not available in your school, you may
consider getting the insights of your trusted teacher, parents or adults.
