Effects of Personal Development Subject On The Personal Growth of Grade 12

CHAPTER 1 (alisin)
INTRODUCTION
Personal development covers activities
that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and
potential, build human capital and facilitate employability,
enhance the quality of life and contribute to the realization of
dreams and aspirations. Personal development takes place over
the course of a person's entire life. Not limited to self-help,
the concept involves formal and informal activities for
developing others in roles such
as teacher, guide, counselor, manager, life coach or mentor.
When personal development takes place in the context
of institutions, it refers to the methods, programs, tools,
techniques, and assessment systems that support human
development at the individual level in organizations.
Personal development is also known as self-development or
personal growth. It involves the growth and enhancement of all
aspects of the person, the feelings the person has about himself
or herself, and their effectiveness in living. It includes the
development of positive life skills and the development of a
realistic and healthy self-esteem. Personal development involves
mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth that
allows a person to live a productive and satisfying life within
1
mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth that
allows a person to live a productive and satisfying life within
the customs and regulations of their society. This is achieved
through the development of life skills.
These life skills, skills necessary for successfully living a
productive and satisfying life, generally fall into one of
several categories: feeling about self, intimacy, family,
friends, community, job, leisure, and spirituality. They
include being able to recognize and describe one's feelings,
giving and receiving feedback, recognizing assumptions, setting
realistic and attainable goals, and employing problem-solving
strategies.
Increased personal growth and development is the goal of a wide
range of men and women. It includes those who suffer from
problems in their relationship with others, or who suffer
emotionally with feeling of low self-esteem, anxiety,
or depression. It also includes individuals who are marginally
successful or even very successful in life, but who want to
improve their efficiency, their ability to be and feel intimate
and relate to others, , and/or their general level of
satisfaction with, and enjoyment of, living.
2
According to J. A. Irving & D. I. Williams(2007) A distinction
can be drawn between personal development and personal growth.
Despite their similarities, linguistic analysis shows the two
concepts to convey different ideas. Personal development is a
process concerned with specific aspects of the individual: the
development of ‘what’, and the ways this can be planned,
achieved and evaluated. Personal growth, on the other hand, is a
more generic process having to do with the totality of the
individual; it is always judged in terms of values. This
difference is vital in counsellor training, where the emphasis
should necessarily be on those aspects of personal development
that are relevant to specific training objectives and client
needs, rather than on personal growth. In this study you will
discover the different aspects of development on learning
personal development subject and its effect on the personal
growth of a student.

RELATED LITERATURE
Foreign Literature
Personal Growth Broadly, we might define personal growth as the
subjective experience of change, in behaviors, thoughts, and
feelings which are in turn experienced as adaptive. Such change
might take form as greater mastery of one’s everyday environment
or it might arise as greater resilience in the face of obstacles
and challenges. Personal growth might be experienced as coming
about as a result of various life experiences; for instance, the
experience of a trauma or attending a leadership conference
might be believed to result in growth. On the other hand,
personal growth might be an activity that one is dynamically
engaged in, such that each day one sets aside time to play
scales on the piano or run three miles, for example. Some
individuals may self-consciously “work on themselves” to attain
higher levels of those abilities, skills, and characteristics
they value. Certainly, when faced with a traumatic or stressful
experience, individuals often report a sense of having grown
from the experience (e.g., Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1995; Park,
Cohen, & Murch, 1996). In some way or another, these experiences
are interpreted as having taught us something about ourselves
and about the world. Reports of stress related growth are, in
9
turn, related to heightened well-being (Park et al., 1996).
Feeling that one has grown from a negative life event is often
viewed as a powerful form of reappraisal or benefit-finding, a
type of coping that is generally quite adaptive. Yet,
importantly, such growth is generally a wholly subjective
phenomenon. To date, research 2 on self-reported growth has not
incorporated measures (beyond self-report measures of well-
being) that might corroborate these subjective assessments.
Given the lack of alternative methods to provide convergence
with subjective reports of growth, such reports are open to a
number of interpretations which call into question the notion
that reports of personal growth are indeed reflective of real
developmental change. Clearly, self-reported personal growth
might just be a positive illusion (Taylor & Armor, 1996). For
instance, individuals may engage in self enhancement by making
retroactive derogations of their previous self in order to
enhance the current self-image (McFarland & Alvaro, 2000). Self-
perceived growth might also be the byproduct of cognitive
dissonance (Taylor & Armor, 1996). For instance, a challenging
experience often elicits evidence that contradicts worldviews
and or beliefs about the self. This contradiction in beliefs, or
cognitive dissonance, results in distress, which we are in turn
motivated to reduce. A route by which such distress might be
reduced is to add positive cognitions about the experience, such
10
as having grown or gained something valuable from the
experience. Whether or not reports of personal growth are
reflections of such processes or reflect actual developmental
change, there is no question that this phenomenological feeling
of growth is related to other outcomes of positive functioning,
such as lower depression and higher well-being (Helgeson,
Reynolds, & Tomich, 2006). Indeed, Ryff and colleagues (e.g.,
Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Keyes, 1995) have theorized that personal
growth shares an important place in the qualities that define
optimal thriving, or psychological well-being, along with self-
acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy,
environmental mastery, and purpose in life. According 3 to
Ryff’s conceptualization, personal growth reflects directed
engagement in continual development, openness towards novel
events and people, and effortful expansion and improvement, all
in the pursuit of reaching high towards one’s potential.
Personal growth, like the other five components of psychological
well-being, is related to other indicators of positive
functioning (Ryff & Keyes, 1995), although with mixed and weak
results. Yet, Ryff and Singer (2008) note that personal growth,
of all the aspects of psychological well-being, is most similar
to the pursuit of self-actualization, an aspect often discussed
within the realms of personality development. Further, an
exploration of the underlying factor structure of well-being,
11
which included the six components of psychological well-being,
life satisfaction, and positive and negative affect, confirmed
that personal growth is subsumed under a well-being factor
descriptive of meaningful, purposeful striving and engagement.
Personal growth was not an underlying component of the
subjective well-being factor, which encompassed affect and
happiness (Keyes, Shmotkin, & Ryff, 2002). Thus, the current
research explores whether personal growth is actually related to
personality development or not. We now turn to the topic of
personality development. Personality development As noted
earlier, a recent conceptualization of maturity as the
convergence of a sense of well-being and a complex sensibility
has been presented (King & Hicks, 2007). According to this
perspective, development in adulthood can be understood as
increasing levels of well-being on the one hand, and increasing
sophistication and differentiation in one’s perception of
oneself and the world on the other hand. The importance of
wellbeing as an aspect of maturity is supported by a number of
theories that converge on the 4 notion that development entails
enhanced emotion regulation and the maximization of positive
affect (e.g., Carstensen, Isaacowitz, & Charles, 1999; Labouvie-
Vief, 2003). Indeed, empirical evidence suggests that older
individuals do report themselves as higher on positive affect
than younger individuals, and that positive affect increases
12
with age (Mroczek & Kolarz, 1998; Mroczek, 2001). The other side
of maturity, a complex sensibility, has been measured using
Loevinger’s construct of ego development.

6 benefits of Personal Development: Personal development begins
with self-awareness. You get to know who you really are; your
values, beliefs and the purpose you wish to pursue. True
fulfilment can never come from chasing other people’s dreams. If
you want to achieve lasting happiness, you need to design your
life based on who you are. Then you can chase your own goals and
objectives. When you are chasing your own goals, there is as
much pleasure to be derived from the journey as there is to be
derived from reaching your destination. Self-awareness is the
first fundamental step in the personal development process.
Sense of direction, Once you have raised you self-awareness, you
are clearer on the things you wish to achieve from life.
Decision-making becomes a lot easier. Tasks which used to take a
great deal of your time, no longer make it onto your to-do list.
You now realise that they do not move you towards your
objectives and therefore are not worthy of your time. Improved
focus and effectiveness, With personal development comes
clarity. Even with an improved sense of direction, there will
always be multiple tasks looking for your attention. As your
13
personal development improves, prioritization becomes much
easier. You are clearer on your objectives and you can quickly
identify which task will give you the best result with the
resources available to you at that moment.
Improved focus and effectiveness comes with knowing and playing
to your strengths. More motivation, When you know what you want
to achieve, it is easier for you to see the benefits of taking
action. Even when the task ahead is not enjoyable; if you can
see a clear benefit, you are more motivated to take the
necessary action. There is truth in the old adage ‘Where there
is a will there is a way’. With strong personal development, you
develop the necessary will. Greater resilience, There will be
tough times in life. When these tough times occur, you need to
have the skills and attributes to deal effectively with them.
Personal development cannot prevent all bad things from
occurring but it will help you deal with them when they do. You
will have greater confidence, resilience, personal and
interpersonal skills to cope with any eventuality. More
fulfilling relationships, Relationships are a double-edged
sword. They either lift you up or drag you down. When you
improve your personal development, you are better able to see
which relationships are worth investing in and which need to be
14
cut loose. You also develop the skills to make the most of those
relationships which have the most positive impact on your life.
Personal development requires the setting of effective goals
which inspire and motivate. Learn more with the Ultimate Guide
to Goal Setting.
Personal development is a much used and much maligned term. It
is about taking the time and, making the commitment, to invest
in your greatest resource – you. When you put the effort in to
developing yourself, the rewards are amazing. Many people are
put off personal development because the results are not always
measurable. However, the greatest achievers in life know that
the key to success is the ability to manage yourself in a
variety of situations. That ability comes through personal
development.
Importance of Personal Development
Personal development is the act or process of understanding and
developing oneself in order to achieve one’s fullest potential.
Personal development is a vital part in a person’s growth,
maturity, success and fulfillment. It is the foundation of
mature personality, better relationship, happiness, success and
prosperity.
15
Unfortunately, however, not everyone is aware of the importance
of personal development. It wasn’t given much attention at home,
work or in school. People give more importance to academic and
professional achievement rather than personal growth. This has
caused a lot of emotional struggles that many people go through
in life because they lack the soft skills which are crucial to
one’s success and happiness. Such lack of self-understanding and
principle-centered way of living blocks one’s ability to live an
enjoyable and successful life.
I admit that I didn’t know the importance of personal
development until I was privileged to attend one personal
development training back in 2008. Before that event, I was
living my life focused on achieving corporate success in my
career as professional accountant. I was eager to achieve career
and professional growth that I neglected all the other areas of
my life, such as physical health, social relationship, financial
growth and stability, and emotional growth. My career-driven
lifestyle resulted for me to live a stressful, tiring and boring
life. I was easily irritated, I complain a lot and I always see
the negative side of things rather than the positive. I was too
strong-willed and closed-minded that it was too hard to cross a
point with me.
16
All these attitudes and actions changed when I learned about
personal development. The change is what I often refer to as a
great “turning point” in my life. Such turning point created so
much positive transformation with who I am and how I live my
life now. It turned my negative and closed mindset into an open
and positive one. I minimized complaining on what life brings,
and instead, I started to see life as my own blueprint. I became
more practical and realistic that lessens my idealism and
perfectionism. I became much conscious on how I spend my time
that which helped me prioritize and minimize fatigue. These
changes cannot happen if I ignored personal development.
If you find yourself feeling negative all the time, and you
can’t stop complaining with a lot of things, I encourage you to
start learning and understanding personal development.
Here are some of the reasons why personal development is
important:
It helps you understand yourself better
It assist you in creating your goals and life purpose
It guides you in managing and spending your time effectively
It enhances your ability to handle stress, adversity and change
It supports you in managing your finances more wisely
It teaches you to build better relationship with people
17
It allows you to live a balanced lifestyle
It provides an opportunity to take care of your health.
Imagine personal development is like a plant. If you take care
of it by giving it the reasonable amount of water, sunlight and
soil, it will grow into a healthy and beautiful tree. But if you
neglect it and won’t pay attention to what kind of nourishment
it needs, then expect that plant to get dry and eventually die.
Personal development is like how you nurture of a plant. If you
don’t recognize the importance of personal development, you will
continue living through life’s hard circumstances feeling like a
victim instead of a victor. You will stick to your belief that
you cannot do something to change and improve your situation. As
such, you will continue complaining and being negative with
almost everything in your life. You will constantly feel lost
with your own life purpose, struggling to find who you are and
what you want to become.
But if you open yourself in learning personal development, you
will experience a great leap in your life. You will start to
become more positive in your outlook, you will be more proactive
rather than reactive, you will start to create your life rather
than letting circumstance create it, you will be able to find
your own purpose and enjoy your life to its fullest.
18
Remember,
“There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of
improving, and that’s your own self. So you have to begin there,
not outside, not on other people. That comes afterward, when
you’ve worked on your own corner.” –Aldous Huxley
Without a plan nobody can reach their destination. As Bob
(2010), described that "Personal development refers to
activities that improve self-knowledge and identity, develop
talents and potential, build human capital and employability,
enhance quality of life and contribute to the realization of
dreams and aspirations. The concept is not limited to self-
development but includes formal and informal activities for
developing others, in roles such as teacher, guide, counsellor,
manager, coach, or mentor. Finally, as personal development
takes place in the context of institutions, it refers to the
methods, programs, tools, techniques, and assessment systems
that support human development at the individual level in
organizations" Personal development planning is a supported
process which helps to focus on individual performance and helps
to achieve and develop their carrier. The main objective of
personal development plan is to improve the capacity of
individual.
19
According to careereducationweb.com personal development is
repeatedly putting a person in a position where we need to be
change or developed or motivated to reach our destination. It
takes control of a person to grow and forcing to become
stagnant. Personal development and growth are vital to success.
Most of the people fail to achieve their goal because of lack
effort, time constants or an incapability of focusing on the
goals.
According to heacademy.ac.uk web site PDP is defined as "a
structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to
reflect upon their own learning, performance and/or achievement
and to plan for their personal, educational and career
development. PDP embraces a range of approach to learning that
join planning (an individual's goals and intentions for learning
or achievement), doing (aligning actions to intention), copy
(judgment, facts, experience, in order to recognize and evidence
the procedure and results of learning) and expression reviewing
and evaluate experiences and the results of learning."
Personal development plan is a process which gives a persona a
clear view of life. And every conscious professional should have
a personal development plan to achieve their objective and reach
their destination.

CHAPTER 1 (alisin)

Personal development covers activities

that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and

potential, build human capital and facilitate employability,

enhance the quality of life and contribute to the realization of

dreams and aspirations. Personal development takes place over

the course of a person's entire life. Not limited to self-help,

the concept involves formal and informal activities for

developing others in roles such

as teacher, guide, counselor, manager, life coach or mentor.

When personal development takes place in the context

of institutions, it refers to the methods, programs, tools,

techniques, and assessment systems that support human

development at the individual level in organizations.

Personal development is also known as self-development or

personal growth. It involves the growth and enhancement of all

or herself, and their effectiveness in living. It includes the

development of positive life skills and the development of a

realistic and healthy self-esteem. Personal development involves

mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth that

allows a person to live a productive and satisfying life within

allows a person to live a productive and satisfying life within

the customs and regulations of their society. This is achieved

through the development of life skills.

These life skills, skills necessary for successfully living a

productive and satisfying life, generally fall into one of

several categories: feeling about self, intimacy, family,

friends, community, job, leisure, and spirituality. They

include being able to recognize and describe one's feelings,

giving and receiving feedback, recognizing assumptions, setting

realistic and attainable goals, and employing problem-solving

Increased personal growth and development is the goal of a wide

range of men and women. It includes those who suffer from

problems in their relationship with others, or who suffer

emotionally with feeling of low self-esteem, anxiety,

or depression. It also includes individuals who are marginally

successful or even very successful in life, but who want to

improve their efficiency, their ability to be and feel intimate

and relate to others, , and/or their general level of

satisfaction with, and enjoyment of, living.

can be drawn between personal development and personal growth.

Despite their similarities, linguistic analysis shows the two

concepts to convey different ideas. Personal development is a

process concerned with specific aspects of the individual: the

development of ‘what’, and the ways this can be planned,

achieved and evaluated. Personal growth, on the other hand, is a

more generic process having to do with the totality of the

individual; it is always judged in terms of values. This

difference is vital in counsellor training, where the emphasis

should necessarily be on those aspects of personal development

that are relevant to specific training objectives and client

needs, rather than on personal growth. In this study you will

discover the different aspects of development on learning

personal development subject and its effect on the personal
