Platon,RGC,RPm MAEd 1 # of Page: 7 pages Preliminaries Introduction to the Module Objective The self is first and foremost the collection of beliefs that we hold about ourselves. What are our important characteristics? What are we good at? What we do poorly? What kinds of situations do we prefer or avoid? One person may think of himself/herself academically inclined who plans to become a professor. Another might think of himself/herself as not academically inclined but good at most sports. A third person may think of himself/herself primarily in terms of a future goal, such as the desire to become the biggest real estate mogul in a defined territory such as Delhi/NCR. Thus, the set of beliefs we hold about who we are is called the self-concept. Section Topics Section 1: Self-Core Competency: The Art of Knowing One’s Self . Learning Outcomes 1.

Instructions (Keywords and Concepts) Self - totality of the individual, consisting of all characteristic attributes, conscious and unconscious, mental and physical. Self-concept - the image that we have of ourselves. Self-image - the way we see ourselves. Self-esteem - the value we place upon ourselves. Ideal self - he person or self we would like to be. What you wish you were really like. Personality - individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that make a person unique. Content Lecture/ Discussion DEFINITIONS OF SELF APA Dictionary of Psychology: Self is the totality of the individual, consisting of all characteristic attributes, conscious and unconscious, mental and physical. William James: Self can refer either to the person as the target of appraisal (i.e., one introspectively evaluates how one is doing) or to the person as the source of agency (i.e., one attributes the source of regulation of perception, thought, and behavior to one’s body or mind). Carl Jung: The self gradually develops by a process of individuation, which is not complete until late maturity is reached. Alfred Adler: The self is the individual’s lifestyle, the manner in which he or she seeks fulfillment. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 2|P a g e Karen D. Horney: One’s real self is consists of one’s unique capacities for growth and development. Gordon W. Allport: Self is proprium. It is the essence of the individual, consisting of a gradually developing body sense, identity, self-estimate, and set of personal values, attitudes, and intentions. Heinz Kohut: Self is the sense of a coherent, stable (yet dynamic) experience of one’s individuality, continuity in time and space, autonomy, efficacy, motivation, values, and desires. UNDERSTANDING SELF Self-understanding is the awareness of and ability to understand one’s own thoughts and actions. The key to self-knowledge is continuous self-awareness. Self-awareness is merely understanding who we are. To attain the insight in your attitudes, motives, defenses, reactions, weaknesses, and strengths. Understanding self represents the sum total of people’s conscious perception of their identity as distinct from others. It is not a static phenomenon, but continues to develop and change throughout lives. – George Herbert Head Understanding the self equips individuals with making more effective career and life choice, the ability to lead, guide and inspire with authenticity. SELF-CONCEPT Who are you? What makes you “you?” You might answer with “I’m a daughter,” or, “I’m a student,” or maybe, “I’m a believer,” “I’m a good friend,” “I’m a brother.” Maybe you answer with, “I am excellent at my studies,” “I’m a skilled singer,” or “I’m a successful artist.” Other responses might fall into the category of traits: “I’m a kind-hearted person,” “I’m intelligent and hard-working,” or “I’m laid-back and easy-going.” According to Ackerman (2021), these responses come from your internal sense of who you are. This sense is developed early in life, but it goes through constant evaluation and adjustment throughout the lifespan. This sense of self has a specific term: self-concept. Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. It our personal knowledge of who we are, encompassing all of our thoughts and feelings about ourselves physically, personally, and socially. Self-concept also includes our knowledge of how we behave, our capabilities, and our individual characteristics. For example, beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person" are part of an overall self-concept. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself. Our self-concept develops most rapidly during early childhood and adolescence, but self-concept continues to form and change over time as we learn more about ourselves. As you age and learn who you are and what’s important to you, these self-perceptions become much more detailed and organized. Self-concepts are rarely all positive or all negative; someone may have both positive and some negative self-concepts in different domains. Some examples of positive self-concepts include: A student sees herself as an intelligent person. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 3|P a g e A student views himself as a diligent and responsible person. On the flip side, these people could have negative self-concepts like: A student sees herself as stupid and slow. A student views himself as lazy and irresponsible. We all have many of these mini or domain-specific self-concepts that encompass our self-concept. Some may be more positive or negative than others, and each is an important piece of what makes us who we are. COMPONENTS OF SELF CONCEPT Carl Rogers, one of the founders of humanistic psychology, suggested that self-concept includes three components. 1. SELF-IMAGE The way we see ourselves. Includes what we know about ourselves physically (e.g. brown hair, blue eyes, tall), our social roles (e.g. wife, brother, gardener), and our personality traits (e.g. outgoing, serious, kind). Self-image doesn’t always match reality. Some individuals hold an inflated perception of one or more of their characteristics. These inflated perceptions may be positive or negative, and an individual may have a more positive view of certain aspects of the self and a more negative view of others. 2. SELF-ESTEEM The value we place upon ourselves. How much you like, accept, or value yourself, which can be impacted by a number of factors including how others see you, how you think you compare to others, and your role in society. Individual levels of self-esteem are dependent on the way we evaluate ourselves. When we compare ourselves to others and find that we are better at something than others and/or that people respond favorably to what we do, our self-esteem in that area grows. On the other hand, when we compare ourselves to others and find we’re not as successful in a given area and/or people respond negatively to what we do, our self-esteem decreases. We can have high self-esteem in some areas ("I am a good student") while simultaneously having negative self-esteem in others ("I am not well-liked"). TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 4|P a g e 3. IDEAL SELF The person or self we would like to be. What you wish you were really like. It is an idealized version of yourself created out of what you have learned from your life experiences, the demands of society, and what you admire in your role models. A self-ideal is essentially an ideal future version of “you” that encompasses your personality, beliefs, values, and behavior under various conditions. My ideal self is who I want to become… My ideal self is the best version of myself in every situation… The “ideal you” is, therefore “you”, however it is not the person you are today, but rather the person you are striving to become tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, and so on. A person’s ideal self may not be consistent with what actually happens in the life and experiences of the person. Hence, a difference may exist between a person’s ideal self and actual experience. This is called incongruence. This incongruity can negatively impact one’s self-esteem. Where a person’s ideal self and actual experience are consistent or very similar, a state of congruence exists. Rarely, if ever does a total state of congruence exist; all people experience a certain amount of incongruence. OTHER SELF-CONCEPT THEORIES According to social psychologist Henri Tajfel's social identity theory, self-concept is composed of two key parts: Personal identity: The traits and other characteristics that make you unique. Social identity: Who you are based on your membership in social groups, such as sports teams, religions, political parties, or social class. Psychologist Bruce A. Bracken believed self-concept was multidimensional and could be broken down into six independent traits: Academic: Your success or failure in school Affect: Your awareness of emotional states Competence: Your ability to meet basic needs Family: How well you work in your family unit Physical: How you feel about your looks, health, physical condition, and overall appearance Social: Your ability to interact with others TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 5|P a g e OTHER CONCEPTS RELATED TO “SELF” Self-awareness: involves being aware of different aspects of the self including traits, behaviors, and feelings. Self-confidence: feeling of trust in own abilities, qualities, capacities, and judgment. Self-efficacy: individual’s belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to meet the challenges ahead of us and complete a task successfully. Self-Awareness The capacity of a person to become aware of the totality of his being as much as he could (including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation and emotions) Essentially, it is a psychological state in which oneself becomes the focus of attention. Self-awareness is one of the first components of the self-concept to emerge. The Johari WIndow The Johari Window was developed in 1955. The name came about by merging the names of its founders – John Luft and Harry Ingram. It consists of four panes, which are arranged in a two-by-two matrix. You have a couple of axes: one being stuff that you know and stuff that you don’t know as well as stuff that’s perceived by you and by others. By combining them, you end up with four areas. 1. Open/self-area or arena – Here the information about the person his attitudes, behaviour, emotions, feelings, skills and views will be known by the person as well as by others. 2. Blind self or blind spot – Information about yourselves that others know in a group but you will be unaware of it. Others may interpret yourselves differently than you expect. 3. Hidden area or façade – Information that is known to you but will be kept unknown from others. This can be any personal information which you feel reluctant to reveal. This includes feelings, past experiences, fears, secrets etc. we keep some of our feelings and information as private as it affects the relationships. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 6|P a g e 4. Unknown area – The Information which are unaware to yourselves as well as others. This includes the information, feelings, capabilities, talents etc. This can be due to traumatic past experiences or events which can be unknown for a lifetime. The person will be unaware till he discovers his hidden qualities and capabilities or through observation of others. Question: Which among the four panes needs to increase? -Of course, your OPEN area. The ways to increase your open area Disclose more about yourself Reflect on experience, discover more about yourself Seek out feedback-challenge your blindspot. PERSONALITY Personality is something that people tend to think a lot about. When we meet new people, whether through work, school, or social events, it is often their personality on which we immediately focus. Whether they are nice, helpful, outgoing, or shy are just a few of the things that we assess as we evaluate the people around us. One effective way to understand ourselves is to know our personality. But what do we mean when we say personality? And why is it necessary to know what type of personality we have for us to understand ourselves? DEFINING PERSONALITY The word personality itself stems from the Latin word persona, which refers to a theatrical mask worn by performers in order to either project different roles or disguise their identities. Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that make a person unique. It is believed that personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. Personality makes us who we are. It influences nearly every aspect of our lives including what we choose to do for a living, how we interact with our families, and our choices of friends and romantic partners. PERSONALITY TRAITS People have unique personalities that make them who they are. There are many different types of personality traits, including some that are positive and some that are negative. Personality traits reflect people’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 7|P a g e Positive Personality Traits Drive, determination and persistence can help keep a student going no matter what. Courage and confidence can help a student choose to do what is right in tough situations. A student who is optimistic tends to look for the bright side of situations rather than forcing on the negative. Negative Personality Traits Being quick to anger will damage relationships and turn people away. Those who are unfriendly are often viewed as disrespectful and/or uninterested in connecting with other people. Being full of laziness and excuses for failing to meet deadlines is sure to suffer consequences in the end. Why learn more about your personality? It answers the question of WHY: It can help you better understand yourself and other people. You can understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. It helps you figure out HOW: It can help you find better answers to questions like, “how can I be happier”, “how do I find a career I’m passionate about”, “how can I better communicate with my friends and classmates”, “how do I stay motivated?”, or “how can I make better decisions.” Personality + Situation = Behavior: Knowing your personality and reading about different situations, you can start to predict your own behavior then you can change your behavior. It’s about YOU, and it’s also about THEM: It can tell you a lot about yourself and you will understand better the people around you. OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS Character Objective. Represents who we actually are. Indicates the traits of a person which are hidden from sight. It includes traits that reveal themselves only in specific – and often uncommon – circumstances, traits like honesty, virtue, and kindness. Expression of inner true traits of a person. Attitude Standpoint or the opinion one has towards something. It represents an individual’s degree of likes or dislikes for a particular thing, topic, person, place or situation. Behaviour or way of response or thinking in any particular situation of an individual shows the attitude. It keeps changing according to the situation. Behaviour What we do. What a person does. The way a person acts or reacts to other persons and their surroundings in general. It is about how a person expresses himself or herself. It is based on the situation and therefore changes a lot. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 8|P a g e CONCLUSION Everyone has their own self-concept. Self-concept can be both positive and negative. Knowing one’s personality is essential in understanding the self. Everyone has unique personalities. Character, attitude, behaviour, and personality are different from each other. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself. III. Viable and vibrant Activities Activity 1: Self-Awareness Worksheet This Self-Awareness worksheet focuses on discovering “Who am I?.” It is an all-encompassing worksheet that addresses talents, qualities, values, perception, and self-reflection. Self-Awareness Worksheet Self-Awareness happens through reflection. You can have numerous experiences in your life, but still lack self-awareness. You need to take the time to step outside of your experiences and reflect on them. The key areas for self-awareness include our personality traits, personal values, emotions, habits, and the psychological needs that motivate our behaviors. Self-awareness and/or Self Discovery is about knowing and understanding: your beliefs and principles What you value and what is important to you what motivates you your own emotions your thinking patterns your tendencies to react to certain situations what you want out of life Instruction: Answer completely the following questions.

The TCC Learning Module Component Details Each course module shall independently design from students’ available resource to ensure that students will learn from the designed teaching and learning materials. Further, it is intentionally TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 14 | P a g e designed containing components with acronym PIVOT which is the same acronym of the City Government and the College Core Values (Professionalism, Integrity, Value for Excellence, Open for Innovation, Teamwork) to instill amongst TCCians the spirit of these core values exceptionally in the midst of crisis. P reliminaries. An introduction to the module objectives, contents, its rationale or purpose, list of assignments, activities, lecture notes, test/quizzes, and due dates. This is a place to provide a rationale and highlight the module’s relevance by describing how it fits into the course, and may provide a brief overview of new material. It is also a place to remind students what they have already learned and how this new information will build on their previous knowledge. Introduction: A general statement about the nature of the module and its relation to the course as a whole. The introduction should not only introduce the topic of the module, but should also forecast the content and organization of the module itself. Module Learning Objectives: These objectives should be the specific outcomes that relate to each individual module, not the objectives that relate to the entire course. Students should be explicitly and clearly told what they are expected to learn in each module. It is very important to make sure that the module outcomes align properly with the assessments in the same module. Learning outcomes are direct statements that describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students are expected to reliably demonstrate in successfully completing a course. They describe learning that is significant and durable– learning that really matters in the long term. Learning Outcomes should be observable, assessable in some way, and both rigourous and flexible (rigourous in that they specify the complexity of learning expected and flexible in that the learning may be demonstrated in a variety of ways). I nstructions. This part of the module discourses the subject matter. It contains lectures and instructions supported by any reading or visual material like instructor prepared text, PowerPoint slides, Web sites, articles, graphic organizers, or other media and material. This would also be the place to link discussion boards, audio files, video conferencing, and chat room discussions that are serve as the means of interaction between students and faculty for this module period and help students meet the objectives associated with this period of time in the course. Key Words and Concepts: A list of keywords with definitions, perhaps listed for emphasis so that the student will be on the alert for an explanation or definition later in the module. Content Lectures/Discussions: This can be a very broad area to cover and may include multiple topics separated into sections. Therefore, you may want to link your discussion to your presentation related to the module. V iable and vibrant Activities. This is where faculty would list assignments/activities related to this specific course module. This section contains activities that ways for students to engage with each other in discussion and with the information and concepts. This section actively engages students with the course material and explicitly practice or review, apply, analyze or synthesize through discussion, exercises, laboratories, problem solving, case studies, role plays, test, quiz, essay, journal or portfolio entry, peer evaluation, or self-evaluation and other methods. Collaborative and interactive activities that will facilitate communication between and among students, including group projects, discussion questions, or other types of communication and collaboration. Assignments. While the assignments were listed in the preliminaries, here is a chance to describe the assignments in detail and to provide students with the needed information and resources, including the due dates. If there are more than one type of assignment the module may have a page for each. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 15 | P a g e pportunity to reflect and articulate students’ acquired knowledge. This section provides clear and explicit details on how students will evaluate/ assess their work/performance. This section encourages students to fill up the college Standard Learning Journal (SLJ), it further, explained how the faculty will give feedback to students regarding their learning and accomplishment of the module objectives. O Evaluations. All assessments should contain detailed explanations of their purpose, with full descriptions of how students are to complete and submit them. Assessment and Evaluation tools are specified under this section. Summary and Reflection. This section provides a way to engage the student in a dialogue about what they have learned by completing the module. This dialogue might take place in an online or classroom discussion, in a small-group activity, or through a writing assignment. It might also contribute to a student’s grade for participation. Standard Learning Journal. A standardized form use to record the collection of notes, observations, thoughts and other relevant materials built up over a period of time and maybe a result of a period of study, learning and/or working experience. Its purpose is to enhance student’s learning through the process of writing and thinking about your learning experiences. Student learning journal is personal to them and will reflect their personality, preferences and experiences. (With Attached copies of Learning Journal Guidelines and SLJ Form). T extbooks and other References. This part contains textbook and reference used in the module. It also covers possibly additional resources supplemental or complementary materials relevant to the module essential for students to extend their learning through enriching activities and evaluation. Be certain to clearly and explicitly designate a note for optional materials or required materials. Specify a time period within the duration of the module for student to browse the required materials. TANAUAN CITY COLLEGE [GENE01 – MODULE 1] UNDERSTANDING THE SELF 16 | P a g e
