SELF DEVELOPMENT

THE PERCEIVED SELF

Is composed of a set of self-cognitions regarding one’s traits,


competencies and values. It is reinforced through feedback. The
type of feedback, which an individual receives, determines the
standard to measure the ideal self. The three categories of
selfperception are traits, competencies and values.

Army Core Purpose: Serving the people.Securing the land.


Army Vision: By 2028, a world-class Army that is a source of national pride.

SELF DEVELOPMENT

THE IDEAL SELF

Represents the set of traits, competencies and values an


individual would like to possess. Internalized competencies and
values have been suggested as the basis of the ideal self and as an
internal standard for behavior. (Bandura, 1986)

SELF DEVELOPMENT

SOCIAL IDENTITIES
Are those aspects of the individual’s self-concept that are
derived from the social categories to which he or she perceives
him/herself as belonging to. Social identities link individuals to
reference groups, which establish a set of role expectations and
norms that guide the individual’s behavior within each of the social
identities.

For example: the identity of a Principal may be associated with


leadership and order (traits), analytical ability and competence
(competencies), service and commitment (values). These
aspired traits, competencies and values associated, serve as the
basis for the ideal self once established the attributes then
reinforced the identity.

SELF DEVELOPMENT

SELF-ESTEEM

Is the evaluative component of the self-concept (Rosenberg


1998). It is the function of the distance between the ideal self
perceived self. When the perceived self matches the ideal self, self-
esteem is relatively high. Low self-esteem occurs when the
perceived self is significantly lower than the ideal self.

SELF DEVELOPMENT

So how does one achieve Self-Esteem?

• You must be competent to live: which means, be rational.


• You must deserve to live: which means, be virtuous. Which denies
from rationality? Thus, the key to self-esteem is a life of unbreached
rationality. Then you can trust your mind, because your use of
reason is uncompromised. Then you are virtuous, because all of the
virtues are expressions of rationality.

BECOMING MORE SELF-AWARE:


1. Understanding one’s attitude and emotions.
2. Explaining and disclosing your feelings
3. Request for feedback from others.

II. VALUES EDUCATION


a. Values
Values are the beliefs, which we hold to be true - those noble ideals
we struggle to attain and implement in our daily lives. Derived from
the natural and moral laws and not from an individuals opinions and
feelings They are based on objective, eternal and universal
truths (e.g., freedom, justice, peace, love family solidarity…)

Also rooted in a personal view of what works and does not work;
they may be accepted practices and ways of acting of a given
people during a given period of time. Are an integral part of human
existence; as such they relate to every aspect of life? Values can be
viewed as priorities that relate to a person’s behavior. Specifically,
they are the priorities one is motivated to act upon.

b. Values Education

1. Academic formation – human intellect (to know the truth)


2. Personal formation - human will (to act, to choose good)
3. As part of the school curriculum – is the process values are
formed in the learner under the guidance of the teacher.
4. As a subject – values education has direct and immediate
relevance to the personal life of the learner
5. It is holistic because it involves all faculties of the learner.

c. DECS (DEPED) Values Education Program (1988)

This program was motivated by the 1986 EDSA Revolution. It


was also inspired by the 1987 Constitution that envisions a “just and
humane society” for the Filipinos. This vision calls for a shared
culture and commonly held values such as “ truth, justice, love,
equality and peace.”

d. Philosophy of Values Education Program:

Values Education is based on a rational understanding of the


human person, specifically on understanding of the Filipino as a
human being in society and his/her role in the shaping of society
and the environment.
The task of education is to help the Filipino know themselves
better, develop his/her potential, contribute to the growth of the
Philippine culture, and must be able to bind together human and
non-human resources for the attainment of a just and humane
society.

B. Filipinos’ Occidentalism

a. Spanish influence

Spanish influence is manifested in our religious, political, economic,


educational life, language, dress and diet. Most of the population was
converted to Hispanic Catholicism, and the visible aspects of culture (e.g.,
personal names, vocabulary, urban architecture, fine arts, dress, cuisine, and
customs) were profoundly influenced or modified. (Harper and Fullerton, 1994)

Centuries of Spanish rule also imposed a severe colonial mentality and left
Filipinos with “a legacy of attitudes that are firmly embedded in society such
as, equating light skin with beauty and high status, the identification of anything
foreign with superiority and indigenous with inferiority, and a conception of
officialdom as a system serving its own ends, not those of the people”
(Gochenour, 1990, p. 6)

b. Americanization of Filipinos

American influences manifested in our political and social


outlook. With the introduction of a democratic system of government
we became aware of our rights and privileges. The popularization of
education gave us the opportunity for –social mobility. Americans in
the presumed spirit of white paternalism and benevolence saw
themselves as best owners of education, religion, public health,
development , and democracy to their “little brown brothers”
(Gochenour, 1990). In fact, the American educational system was
adopted, and English (which children were required to speak in
school) was made the official language (Kang, 1996).

c. Japanese Occupation

Japanese influences manifested our love of work. Dignity of


labor and working hard were one of the values that Filipinos were
widely known. This is evident because many Filipinos nowadays are
working abroad. Almost everywhere Filipinos are at hand working
hard to earn more to support their family. Many countries choose
Filipinos to work in their country because they know of Filipinos’
perseverance and hard work.

The typical Filipino individual exist first and foremost as a


member of a family and looks to the family as the only reliable
protection against the uncertainties of life. (Gochenour, 1990, p. 18)

A. Family Values Cont…

Reliance on the family for love, support, and refuge has historically
been as much an economic necessity as it is a cultural tradition. The
family is the source of one’s personal identity and of emotional and
material support. It also is the focus of one’s primary duty and
commitment. Dependence on, loyalty to, and solidarity with the family
and kin group are of the highest priority (Okamura and Agbayani, 1991).
Family loyalty also might dictate that a young parent temporarily leave
his or her family and children in order to pursue better educational,
training, or employment opportunities in other countries (Santos, 1983).
This sense of family obligation begins early on when children are
conditioned to be grateful to their parents for their birth. A lifelong debt of
gratitude or utang na loob (“debt from within”) thereby creates binding
relationships of love, respect, and obedience (PAPEP), 1982).

Alternative Concepts and Other Values

Critics of the 1960s values studies maintain that concepts such


as pakikisama, hiya, Amor propio, and utang na loob have been
inappropriately generalized from vernacular terms associated with
specific behaviors and situations into all pervading, organizing
values and trait complexes (Lawless, 1969). They have been
perceived as a central core of fundamental culture traits that create
and define an almost stereotypic Filipino character and have further
been accepted as valid by scholars, foreigners, and Filipino in
general (Okamura and Agbayani, 1991).

Alternative Concepts and Other Values

Studies of Filipino values have focused on significantly less


abstract concepts. A Philippine Senate commissioned task force in
1988 conducted one of the most comprehensive of the Filipino
character: pakikipagkapwa-tao (having a regard for the dignity
and being of others), family orientation, joy and humor,
flexibility, adaptability and creativity, hard work and industry,
faith and religiosity and ability to survive (Licuanan, 1988).

Each of these characteristic strengthens the Filipinos ability to


survive and endure despite difficult times and often little resources.
Moreover, these characteristic cluster around distinctly religious
beliefs and a deep faith in God. This faith is evident in Filipinos’
ability to accept reality (including failure and defeat) in terms of
God’s will and to adopt a philosophical/religious attitude that
cushions them from disappointments. Filipino faith is related to
the concept of bahala na (“it’s up to God” or “Leave it to God”),
which has tended to be incorrectly equated with an expression of
fatalism and a passive acceptance or resignation to fate.

Bahala na can instead be viewed more positively as


determination in the face of uncertainty or stressful, problematic
conditions. Although it is an indication of an acceptance of the
nature of things, including one’s own inherent limitations, bahala na
operates psychologically to elevate one’s courage and conviction to
persist in the face of adversity and to improve one’s situation
(Enriquez, 1987; Okamura and Agbayani, 1991).

D. Theories of Values Formation

1. Psycho-Analytic Theory (Sigmund Freud) suggest that


unconscious forces act to determine personality and behavior. To
Freud, the unconscious is that part of the personality about which a
person is unaware. It contains infantile wishes, desires, demands
and needs that are hidden, because of their disturbing nature, from
conscious awareness. Freud suggested that the unconscious is
responsible for a good part of our everyday behavior.

2. Behaviorist View (John B. Watson) The behavioral perspective


suggest that the keys to understanding developing are observable
behavior and outside stimuli in the environment. If we know the
stimuli, we can predict the behavior.

Behavioral theories reject the notion that individuals universally pass


through a series of stages. Instead, people are assumed to be
affected by the environmental stimuli to which they happen to be
exposed. Developmental patterns, then, are personal, reflecting a
particular set of environmental stimuli, and development is the result
of continuing exposure to specific factors in the environment.

3. Social-cognitive learning theorist Albert Bandura, when we


see the behavior of a model being rewarded, we are likely to imitate
that behavior. Behavior is learned through observation and imitation,
not conditioning through reinforcement or punishment.

4. Cognitive Theory. The cognitive perspective focuses on the processes


that allow people to know, understand and think about the world. The
cognitive perspective emphasizes how people internally represent and
think about the world. There are two major theories:

No single person has had a greater impact on the study of cognitive


development that Jean Piaget. He proposed that all people pass is a
fixed sequence through a series of universal stages of cognitive
development. In each stage, he suggested that not only did the quantity of
information increase, but so did the quality of knowledge and
understanding. Piaget suggests that the growth in children’s
understanding of the world can be explained by two basic principles.
Assimilation is the process in which people understand an experience in
terms of their current state of cognitive development and way of thinking.
In contrast, accommodation refers to changes in existing ways of
thinking in response to encounters with new stimuli or events.

D. Theories of Values Formation

5. Socio-cultural theory (Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky)


proposes that a full understanding of development is impossible
without taking into account the culture in which children develop.
Socio-cultural theory proposes that children’s understanding of the
world is acquired through their problem-solving interactions with
adults and other children. As children play and cooperate with
others, they learn what is important in their society, and at the same
time, advance cognitively in their understanding of the world.

6. Ecological Theory. The Ecological model, the major proponent


of which is Urie Bronfenbrenner, seeks to explain individual
knowledge, development, and competencies in terms of the
guidance, support, and structure provided by society and to explain
social change over time in terms of the cumulative effect of
individual choices (Berger, 2000).

According to Urie Bronfenbrenner, each person is significantly


affected by interactions among a number of overlapping
ecosystems. At the center of the model is the individual.
Microsystems are the systems that intimately and immediately
shape human development.

The primary microsystems for children include the family, peer


group, classroom, neighborhood, and sometimes a church, temple,
or mosque as well. Interactions among the microsystems, as when
parents and teachers coordinate their efforts to educate the child,
take place through the mesosystem. Surrounding the
microsystems is the exosystem, which includes all the external
networks, such as community structures and local educational,
medical, employment, and communications systems that influence
the microsystems. And influencing all other systems is the
macrosystem, which includes cultural values, political philosophies,
economic patterns, and social conditions. Together, these systems
are termed the social context of human development.

7. Humanism Theory. The humanistic perspective contends that


people have a natural tendency to make decisions about their lives
and control behavior. The humanistic perspective emphasizes free
will, the ability of humans to make choices and come to decisions
about their lives.
Carl Rogers suggested that all people have a need for positive
regard that results from an underlying wish to be loved and
respected. Because it is other people who provide this positive
regard, we become dependent on them. Consequently, our view of
our self-worth and ourselves is a reflection of how we think others
view us.

8. Evolutionary Theory. The Evolutionary Theory stresses that


behavior is strongly influenced by biology, is tied to evolution, and is
characterized by critical or sensitive periods (Santrock, 1999).
Evolutionary approaches grow out of the groundbreaking work of
Charles Darwin. The evolutionary perspective is also referred to as
Ethological or Biological.

D. Theories of Values Formation

Konrad Lorenz discovered that newborn geese are genetically


preprogrammed to become attached to the first moving object they
see after birth. His work, which demonstrated the importance of
biological determinants in influencing behavior patterns, ultimately
led mentalists to consider the ways in which human behavior might
reflect inborn genetic patterns.

The evolutionary perspective encompasses one of the fastest


growing areas within the field of lifespan development, behavioral
genetics. Behavioral genetics studies the effects of heredity and
genetics on behavior. As technology improves, and researchers
continue to map the human genome, there is an increasing
understanding of the role and function of the genetic codes and their
influence on development.

9. Moral Development (Lawrence Kohlberg) There exist structural


bases that determine the process of perceiving value. This series of

III. Ethics and Moral Education

a. Ethics – comes from the Greek word ethos, meaning character


or custom. According to Robert C. Solomon, the etymology of ethics
suggest its basic concern: (1) individual character, what is meant by
‘good person’, and (2) the social rules that govern and limit our
conduct, especially the ultimate rules concerning right and wrong,
which we call morality.

b. Morality

The term morality can be used either:

1. Descriptively to refer to a code of conduct put forward by a


society and that it is used as a guide to behavior by the members of
that society ,

a. some other group, such as religion, or


b. accepted by an individual for her/his own behavior

2. Normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified


conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons for
governing the behavior of all moral agents.

III. Ethics and Moral Education

Morality as a public system


Public system refers to guide to conduct such that (1) all persons to
whom it applies all those whose behavior is to be guided and judged
by that system, know what behavior the system prohibits, requires,
discourages, encourages, and allows; and (2) it is not irrational for
any of these persons to accept being guided and judged by that
system.
- refers to a code of conduct put forward by a society or some other
group, such as religion, or accepted by an individual for his/her own
behavior.
- also refers to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions
would be put forward by all rational persons.
- refers to a doctrine or system of conduct relative to principles of
right and wrong. It encompasses the ideas of moral judgment, moral
obligation, and a moral agent.

c. Nature of morality

1. Moral talk is normative – meant to guide action it is often


manifested by words like should, ought, permitted, right and wrong
when the action is prescribe and proscribe, exhort and discourage,
judge, praise and condemn actions.

2. Moral talk is evaluative – it refers to moral value of things, what


matters morally and why. It is manifested by words like good,
valuable, important, fundamental, precious, sacred and meaningful.

III. Ethics and Moral Education

Morality as it relates to our behavior is important on three levels:


(CS. Lewis)

1. To ensure fair play and harmony between individuals


2. To help make us good people in order to have a good society
3. To keep us in good relationship with the power that created us.

III. Ethics and Moral Education

Morality and our Conscience

Morality affects our daily choices, and those decisions are guided by
our conscience. Many people believe that our conscience is matter
of the heart, and the basic concepts of right; wrong and fairness are
inherent in all of us. The purpose of morality is to provide a frame
work of optimum human survival. The standard of morality, however,
is absolute and immutable – long-term optimum human survival.

III. Ethics and Moral Education

True Freedom

The way forward involves liberation from both false freedom and
moralism. Moral action is possible only for a being that is free.
Freedom let the will to choose gives space for creativity, and implies
release from determining factor. Nevertheless true freedom implies
not only the power of self-chosen action but also the proper
orientation power. The power to do whatever he/she wants to do is
not a true freedom because true freedom is oriented to goodness.
Freedom includes the power to choose evil, but freedom is fulfilled
and enhanced and sustained only by choosing the good abusing
liberty leads to losing it.

Moral Intuition
The more carefully you think through your great decision, the more
spontaneous you will be in the host of situations covered by those
decisions. Though few have an appetite for studying and discussing
difficult moral cases, the intellectual dimension to morality is
nonetheless essential. When actions are not governed by our best
thinking we are usually in the current of emotions whose guidance is
less reliable.

Human Acts – are actions performed by an agent with conscious


knowledge and are subject to the control of the will.

Acts of Man – are actions that are instinctive and involuntary and
are not within the control of the will.

Classification of Human Acts

Moral actions – are those actions that are in conformity with the
norm of morality. They are good actions and are permissible.
Immoral Actions – are those actions that are not in conformity with
the norm of morality. They are bad or evil actions and are not
permissible.
Amoral Actions – are actions, which stand neutral in relation to the
norms of morality. They are either good or bad in themselves. But
certain amoral actions may become good or bad because of the
circumstances intended to them.
Normal of Morality – are the standards that indicate the
rightfulness or wrongfulness, the goodness or evilness, the value or
disvalue of a thing (R. Agapay, 1991)

Kinds of Law

Natural Law – is a moral obligation that arises from human nature,


compelling an individual to be true to his nature as tao (R. Agapay,

Eternal Law – reveals the will of God. It contains the divine


blueprints which bring order into the universe because they direct all
of creation and creatures to their respective end-goals (St.
Augustine)

Moral Law – contains universal truths and ethical principles that


ought to guide the individual conduct of man in matters of right and
wrong (E. Esteban).

III. Ethics and Moral Education

The determinants of morality in any given action

1. The morality of any given action is determined by three elements,

a. The end in view


b. The means taken
c. The Circumstances

Whoever knows this principle, does not thereby know the right and
wrong of every action, but he/she knows how to go about the
enquiry. It is a rule of diagnosis.

III. Ethics and Moral Education

The end of view may be either single, as when you forgive an


injury solely for the love of Christ; or multiple co-ordinate, as when
you forgive both for the love of Christ and for the mediation of a
friend, and are disposed to forgive on either ground separately; or
multiple subordinate, as when you would not have forgiven on the
latter ground alone, but forgive the more easily for its addition,
having been ready, however, to forgive on the former alone: or
cumulative, as when you forgive on a number of grounds
collectively, on no one of which would you have forgiven apart from
the rest.

Where there are no outward action, but only an internal act, and
the object of that act is some good that is willed for its own sake,
there can be no question of means taken, as the end in view is
immediately attained
