DECISION-MAKING SKILLS: HOMEROOM ACTIVITY

Date: February 3, 2021

Theme: “My Family is part of God’s Family”

Introduction:

Robert Frost wrote, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I

took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the
difference.” But unfortunately, not every decision is as simple
as “Let’s just take this path and see where it goes,” especially
when you’re making a decision that shall greatly affect your
future.

Decision-making is a cognitive process that helps people

solve problems by scrutinizing alternative options and
determining the best route to take. In simple terms, it is an act
of making a choice among available options. As human beings, we
make many decisions in our day-to-day lives. From what to eat for
dinner to in which school will you take your college, to what
course to enroll in, which clothes to buy, whom to befriend and
whom to unfriend, and many more- we have to go through the
decision making process almost every second in a day. Decision
making is possible when there are two or more options to solve a
single difficulty or problem. While it may seem easy for many
people, this problem-solving approach of choosing a particular
course of action among numerous alternatives can be daunting. 

If you think that your poor decision-making capability is

lagging behind, you need to understand that there are several
steps in the decision-making process that you must adhere to in
order to make the right choice. 

With that said, in this homeroom activity, we will discuss

the decision-making process and the crucial steps involved. 

DECISION-MAKING IN FOCUS:

Decision making is one of the most basic yet significant

management skills for all of us to have. And it can differ from
person to person. Making decisions that are based on careful
analysis of numerous circumstances especially in a timely manner
is critical. Therefore, it shouldn’t be procrastinated or taken
in haste.  

Making decisions can be hard, especially when the odds are not in
your favor. But, by following a well-structured process or steps
in decision making, you will be able to make influential
decisions.
