LESSON III: HUMAN PERSON AND VALUES DEVELOPMENT

I. THE HUMAN PERSON

Human person is the subject of education: he is a human person learning and being taught. The
human person is also the object of education: the human person is at the center of the curriculum
and the entire program

The human person is multidimensional: a distinction between the person as self and the
person in community. The human person is an individual, a self-conscious being of
incalculable value in himself. His physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, socioeconomic,
and political well-being is recognized by the state.
A. Important Realities of the Human Person
1. The Self-Image
o Self-image refers to a person’s understanding of himself/herself.
o It is responsible in influencing people’s way of living. The formation of self-
image is derived from two sources: others and the experiences of the self.
o There are three kinds of self-image:
- Negative self-image - Delves on limitations and
differences rather than assets.
- Overrated self-image – stresses on the positive traits.
- Realistic self-image – based on the real self.
1. The Others
These are persons or groups that one consider as important and thus are given the
right to influence one’s self.
3. The being
a. It is the mainspring or a motivating force in the human person.
b. It is the wellspring, a fountainhead of one’s identify, one’s essential course of
action, and one’s essential bonds.
c. There are seven approaches to get in touch with the Being:
1.) Approach by way of the self-image
2.) Approach by way of important choices
3.) Approach by way of action
4.) Approach by way of what is “natural” and stress less
5.) Approach by way of people who had the greatest impact on you
6.) Approach to self through severe trials
7.) Approach by way of deep and not yet fulfilled

4. THE “I”
The “I” has three (3) different aspects. These are the intellect, the
freedom, and the will.
5. The sensibility and the Body
These are the important realities of the human person.
B. Five Pivotal Centers as the Components of the Human Person
1. The Being – This is the fundamentally positive reality which can be sensed in
the very depths of the human person.
2. The “I” – This is the reality felt at the level of the head.
3. The sensibility – It carries messages from the “I”, from the being, ad from the
in-depth conscience.
4. The body – It is the biological reality and has its own laws.
5. In-depth Conscience – This reality is a place where the other four pivotal
center can be perceived in a synthesis. This is the place of the person in the
process of growth; a place where what is good can be sensed.
Behavior – It is the manner of conducting oneself. It is the response of an individual,
group or species to its environment. It is a manner in which a person behaves.
Attitude – It is a position assumed for a specific purpose.
 It is an organismic state of readiness to respond in a characteristics
 Human attitude affects much of a person’s behavior and human behavior
depends on the kind of environment he or she is interacting with. The attitude
can be readily changed depending on the kind of stimulus, concept, or
situations that will greatly affect the human person.

greeting.

name.
