Module

OVERVIEW
As the old-aged saying connotes, your role
as a teacher is to open doors of possibilities
for the learners under your care. But you
must also accept the fact that you cannot
let them trudge the path you want them to
take. You cannot decide on their behalf. You
cannot force them to chew the chunks of
information you served them. Be as it may,
you have a crucial role in preparing your
learners to pack their individual bags and
take their own journey toward the
realization of what they envision to become.

through this module and help
your learners affirm more
their desire of becoming who
they want to be in the future.
 Objectives
At the end of this Module, the learners are expected to:
Analyze information gathered from people that
will help affirm their decision in choosing the career
or curriculum exit:
Evaluate the role of selected people with the
chosen career or curriculum exit in terms of their
beliefs, attitude, and skills; and
Make a career road map as an expression of
commitment to one’s chosen career or curriculum exit.
Continue the learning journey
through this module and help
your learners affirm more
their desire of becoming who
they want to be in the future.
Brisk Walk Down Memory Lane
Where are your learners now in terms of
achieving their dreams? What have they already
done? Are they already geared up to take a step
further upon completion of Grade 11 modules?
Have your learners take a brisk walk down their
memory lane. Let them recall various milestones
in their plan of action toward the realization of
their dreams. Below is a poem that will help
them revisit their decisions. Afterwards, let them
reflect by answering the follow-up questions.

Lecturette
It has been said that first hand information can be a very rich source of
information for learners. These are the information (the beliefs, attitude, and
skills) and success stories that we get from people who inspire us and make us
feel more enthusiastic about pursuing our goals. This is also called
observational learning.

Observational Learning happens when one learns by observing another person

perform a specific task. Observational Learning or the Social Learning theory
focuses on the social context of learning and proposes that we can learn from
another by observation, imitation, or by modeling. Albert Bandura (1977)
endeavored to understand the cognitive processes associated with people’s
interaction with one another. Social learning theorists say that learning can
take place simply by observing other actions and subsequent outcomes of
those actions.
It is from this context that Grade 12 learners are given assignment to observed
a person with whom they want to emulate in the future using the informational
interview form (attached in the appendix). By shadowing the person or the
“More Knowledgeable Other” or MKO (Vygotsky, 2014) in his place of work and
by asking pertinent questions based on the observation tool that was crafted, it
is believed that these new information will help them in cementing their
decisions to pursue their chosen career.

Informational observation also strengthens the claim of the creative job hunting
principle (Woodcock, 2014) where it says that the best way to choose a career
is to talk to people doing the job and to try it out via work shadowing and
experience. There is a lot of truth in the statement that you don’t really know
what it’s like until you have been doing it for a while: at least shadowing gives
you a good idea of what’s involved.
The idea of the observation is to promote a learning context where the learners
play an active role and become responsible for their own learning. The role of
the teacher therefore is to closely collaborate with learners to facilitate
meaningful learning experiences they acquired.

Choosing the right course is a big decision and it is important to get it right, as it
can impact future success. Career awareness and self-awareness go hand-in-
hand. This is the other idea behind why learners need to have enough
information profile about the career they want to undertake through the
informational observation. In so doing, the learners could be taken away from
the idea that luck, unpredictable social factor, chance, beliefs, and
environmental factors play a major role in one’s success in life as suggested by
the Happenstance Theory (Krumboltz, 2008).
As Stephen Covey says from his famous book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People, “Begin with the end in mind.” We encourage our learners to visualize
what they wanted to become and they are already on their first step of
achieving their goals.

Relative to this, encourage them to craft their own career road map by taking
into consideration the information they gathered during their observation and
the learning they acquired through the different activities. While we encourage
creativity, do bear in mind that the content and direction of their career road
map plays a more important thing and the visual effect comes only secondary.
Instructions on crafting the career road map follow for a more specific guide as
to how the learners will craft their outputs.
Crafting a Road Map
Having processed the different data gathered by the learners in the field during
the informational interview, by now they must be aware that there are attributes
of a person (in the same profession as their chosen curriculum exit) that needs to
be learned in school and there are attributes that could be learned outside the
four walls of the classroom. At this point, you can guide your learners to craft their
own career road map so that they will have a prepared future plan as to how they
want to arrive at their destinations – the fulfillment of their career goals.

According to an article by Cao (2013) a career road map outlines specific steps to
undertake for moving from one step to another in ways that will facilitate growth
and career advancement. This could be an illustration or diagram that could easily
be understood by the individual who crafted it.
Career road maps are flexible enough and could be revisited and revised over time
or as the circumstance warrants in order for the learner to keep track of his
progress or to address issues that hinder the achievement of the desired goal.

The career road map, upon accomplishing should be communicated by the

learners to their parents/guardians or significant people whom they think in one
way or the other will be involved in the attainment of the desired goal. The
learners should inform their parents/guardians or the people whom they
identified of what specific help or support they are expecting from them. It is also
very important to remind the learners that they should also communicate to their
support group the specific steps they will take and the projected time frame of its
accomplishment. In so doing, the learners will have an active support system that
will help him out in achieving their career goals from time to time.
Note: The learner may also choose to present the road map
creatively. An example below is suggested. However, the
learner can still choose another way of presenting it.
