Rational choice theory also called as rational action theory or choice theory, states that individuals use
rational calculations to make rational choices and achieve outcomes that are aligned with their own personal
objectives. These results are also associated with an individual’s best, self-interest. Using rational choice
theory, it is estimated that the outcomes provide people with the greatest benefit and satisfaction given the
choices they have available.

Discuss: Rational choice theory (page 23 -24).

G. Developing mastery (Leads to Formative Assessment 3)

GROUP ACTIVITY: Give them the handouts on Rational choice theory

Group 1: Cost –benefit analysis

Group 2: Key Elements of all Rational Choice

Note: Teacher Facilitate the Activity

H. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

Direction: let the students analyze the given problem.
Sebastian has two classmates whom he wants to be friends with: Ethan, a social outcast but has the newest
action game, and Alyster, the most popular in the class but does not like to play action games.

Answers:
 Sebastian’s first level of cost –benefit analysis is choosing between having the chance to play
the newest game or not.
 His second level of cost-benefit analysis is choosing whether he would like to be associated
with social outcast or with the most popular student in class.
 The rational choice for Sebastian would then be dependent on which is more important to him-
to play the game or to be associated with the popular crowd.

Teacher’s Note: This example provides the basic principle of rational choice theory wherein preferences play
an important role in decision-making, while the individual rationalizes the burdens and benefits of his/her
individual choices.

I. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson

What have I learned so far?
1. Explain what is rational choice theory

2. Why is it important to apply cost-benefit analysis in decision- making?

H. Evaluating

A. Modified True or False. Write True if the statement is correct and False if the statement is incorrect and
supply the correct answer.
1. The key elements of all rational choice explanations are individual preferences, beliefs, and constraints.

2. Preferences play an insignificant role in decision making.

3. Rational Choice Theory is also called as Rational Action Theory or Choice Theory.
4. Rational Choice Theory states that individuals use irrational calculations to make rational choices and
achieve outcomes that are aligned with their own personal objectives.

5. Rational Choice Theory states that individuals use irrational calculations to make rational choices and
achieve outcomes that are aligned with their own personal objectives.

Answers Key
1. True 1. False / significant 2. True 3. False/ rational 4. False/ benefit 5.
False/ rational

K. Additional activities for application or remediation
