Personal Development

Lesson 1.2

Presented by: Ma. Alelie B. Navarro


Lesson
objectives

• identify the aspects of self-concept;


• discuss ways to enhance strengths
and manage weaknesses; and
• create a short story of your life.
Personal Development, or PERDEV for
short, is a very interesting course, and can
become the most personally rewarding
subject for you, because the subject
matter for this course is YOURSELVES! As
new senior high school students, you have
now entered a new educational level, as
well as a new psychological and social
level, called the middle and late
adolescence.
You may feel that you are no longer
the rapidly growing and awkward
teen-ager, but may also feel that you
are not quite ready to call yourselves
mature adults either. This course shall
make you take a deeper look at
yourselves and analyze your
developmental changes, your skills
and traits which can help you meet
the various tasks that you must
undertake at this point in your lives.
It shall provide you with some
techniques to meet stress and other
mental health issues with your own
strengths and coping powers. The
module shall also give you the chance
to analyze your relationships with your
family, friends and significant others.
Finally, the PERDEV course shall
help you take stock of where you
are in your career development
and how to get to where you
want to be.
SELF-CONCEPT

The actual self and the ideal self are two


broad categories of self-concept. Self-
concept refers to your awareness of
yourself. It is the construct that negotiates
these two selves. In other words, it
connotes first the identification of the
ideal self as separate from others, and
second, it encompasses all the behaviors
evaluated in the actual self that you
engage in to reach the ideal self.
The actual self is built on self-
knowledge. Self-knowledge is
derived from social interactions
that provide insight into how

Actual
others react to you

The actual self is who we

Self actually are. It is how we think,


how we feel, look, and act.

The actual self can be seen by


others, but because we have no
way of truly knowing how
others view us, the actual self is
our self-image.
The ideal self, on the other
hand, is how we want to be.
It is an idealized image that
we have developed over time,

Ideal based on what we have


learned and experienced.

Self The ideal self could include


components of what our
parents have taught us, what
we admire in others, what our
society promotes, and what
we think is in our best
interest.
Alignment is important.

Alignment is important. If the


way that I am (the actual self)
is aligned with the way that I
want to be (the ideal self),
then I will feel a sense of
mental well-being or peace of
mind.
Alignment is important.

If the way that I am is not aligned


with how I want to be, the
incongruence, or lack of alignment,
will result in mental distress or
anxiety. The greater the level of
incongruence between the ideal self
and real self, the greater the level
of resulting distress.
Alignment is important.

Personal development
ultimate aim is greater self-
knowledge that will lead to
higher alignment between
these two personality
domains.
