Introduction
This alternative delivery module in Personal Development for the 21 st century
learners in the new normal classroom is designed to make learning more engaging
and meaningful to Senior High School learners in the flexible and blended learning
environments.
The module is aimed at the development of practical and doable strategies to
help learners gain effective personal development. The motivation behind this effort
is the recognition that learner’s behavior and personality are influenced by heredity,
internal and external environments, as well as their personal decision in the
development of who they are and what they want to become.
Subsequently, meaningful activities are given in the form of worksheets,
assignments, reflections, and online or virtual activities which allow the learners to
work at their own pace and participate in both synchronous and asynchronous
conferences and discussions.

1) Discuss what you understand about the quote and present your insights to your
classmates during the face-to-face or online activities with your teacher.
“Knowing oneself is the beginning of wisdom”. This renowned quote is often
attributed to Socrates. But what exactly do you benefit when you know and
understand who you are?
When a person has a self-knowledge, he understands his strengths and
weaknesses, his passions and fears, his life’s desires and dreams. This means he is
aware of his eccentricities (peculiarities) and idiosyncrasies (habits), likes and
dislikes, tolerance and limitations. The person knows his purpose in life (Doherty,
2017).
Meg Selig (2016) suggests that when a person knew who he is, he develops
understanding of himself, he would be happier because he can express who he is.
He develops less inner conflict, make better decision and better choices about
everything and understands what motivates him.
Subsequently, she emphasized that when a person knows himself better, he
has the resistance to social pressure, he is grounded in his values and preferences
and is less likely to say “yes” when he wants to say “no” and at the same time
develops tolerance and understanding of others. He can easily help and empathize
with others.
Write a reflection of yourself
