VALUES DEVELOPMENT

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.
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

VALUES EDUCATION 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.

VALUES EDUCATION 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. 3. Request for feedback from others.

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.

VALUES EDUCATION

Family Values 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
 VALUES EDUCATION
This practice reflects the value of utang na loob in which the debt of gratitude
incurred to the whole family ensures the graduate’s contribution to the family
welfare, which takes precedence over individual economic and social
mobility (Santos, 1983). Thus, degree, diplomas, certificates, good grades,
and academic honor are much sought after symbols. Such achievements are
typically recognized with great pride and significant attention by extended
family, friends, and the larger community. Moreover, if one is well educated,
Filipinos expect that person to talk, act, and dress

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

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.

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
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

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
