This is the Personal Development Quarter 1 Module 2 self-learning module for Senior High School, Knowing Oneself: Characteristics, Habits, and Experiences. It was prepared by DepEd Region 4A CALABARZON for home-based learning under the Alternative Delivery Mode. After working through it, learners are expected to share their own unique characteristics, habits, and experiences.
The module has one lesson, labeled Lesson 2: “Personal Development: Knowing Oneself.” It starts with self-awareness, which the module defines as understanding yourself as unique from others. It then covers self-esteem, self-efficacy, self and identity, and how to make sound decisions.
What learners will learn
The module states one learning goal. After going through it, you are expected to:
- share your unique characteristics, habits, and experiences.
Along the way, you will be able to explain these ideas:
- adolescence and the “Self”
- characteristics, habits, and experiences
- self-esteem and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
- self-efficacy and the five ways it is influenced
- the three categories of the self
- the six steps of rational decision making
Key ideas in the module
Adolescence, characteristics, habits, and experiences
Adolescence is the period when a young person develops from a child into an adult. During this time, many things change: how you look, your role in the community, what people expect of you when you make decisions, and how you see yourself. The module explains three terms that shape who you are:
- Characteristics: your own features or qualities that make you unique.
- Habits: things you do repeatedly and regularly.
- Experiences: skills or knowledge you have gained because you have already done something in the past.
Self-esteem
Self-esteem is your evaluation of your own worth.
- Positive self-esteem comes when you feel worthy and accepted by others.
- Negative self-esteem is feeling down and unaccepted.
Self-esteem does not mean thinking you are better than others. It means seeing yourself as a person of worth. It can change from time to time, depending on the situations you meet.
The module uses the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, a 10-item self-report measure. Higher scores mean higher self-esteem.
Self-efficacy
Self-efficacy is your belief in your ability to succeed and to reach your most important goals. Self-esteem is about how much you value yourself. Self-efficacy is about how much you believe you can do something.
The module lists five ways self-efficacy beliefs are influenced, from the ideas of psychologist Albert Bandura (printed as “Badura” in the module):
- Performance experiences: past success makes you expect success again, and past failure makes you expect failure.
- Vicarious performances: seeing others reach their goals makes you believe you can too.
- Verbal persuasion: people telling you they believe, or do not believe, in you. The effect depends on how much that person matters to you.
- Imaginal performances: imagining yourself doing well.
- Affective states and physical sensations: your mood (such as shame) together with your physical state (such as shaking). Negative ones lead to a negative result, and positive ones to a positive result.
Self and identity
The module quotes William James: the self is “what happens when I reflect upon ME.” It also describes the self as a “Reflective Project.” Psychologist Dan McAdams groups the ways we reflect to improve ourselves into three categories:
- Self as Social Actor: playing different roles in front of different people, for social acceptance.
- Self as Motivated Agent: acting on your own dreams, desires, and planned goals.
- Self as Autobiographical Author: writing your own life story, from your past to your present to who you will become.
Judgment and decision making
Many people decide based on intuition and whatever information is available. This can get in the way of a wise decision.
The module uses an example: you qualified for courses at six universities and must choose one. It then gives Bazerman and Moore’s six steps to a rational decision:
- Define the problem.
- Identify the criteria, such as location, facilities, and prestige.
- Weight the criteria by how important each one is to you.
- Generate alternatives (the schools that accepted you).
- Rate each alternative on each criterion.
- Compute the optimal decision.
Activities in the module
- What I Know: a 15-item multiple-choice pretest.
- What’s In: the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, followed by guide questions.
- What is It, “Me, Myself and I”: reflection questions about a time you had to make an important decision on your own.
- Activity 1.1, “Some ‘One’ Dear”: write a letter to someone who matters to you, sharing your characteristics, habits, and experiences.
- Activity 1.2, “Sharing-Is-Caring”: family members write down your strengths, your weaknesses, and what makes you angry and happy. You then look for common answers.
- What I Have Learned: an 8-item modified true-or-false test.
- What I Can Do, “Time-To-Decide”: a group of five imagines a boat caught in a storm. In Part I, the group decides which 3 of 15 items to keep. In Part II, the group decides who stays on the boat.
- Assessment: a 15-item multiple-choice post-test.
- Additional Activities, “My Plan”: list what you want to do, improve, or change, your reason, and how you will do it.
How to use this module
For learners:
- Start with the pretest to see what you already know.
- Then go through the parts in order.
- Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, not on the module.
- Use the answer key at the end only to check your work, and use it honestly.
- For “Time-To-Decide,” you need four other people, such as siblings, parents, or neighbors.
For parents:
- Take part in Activity 1.2 by writing what you see as your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
- Help your child form a group for the decision-making activity.
For teachers:
- Use the Notes to the Teacher. They explain how to score the Rosenberg scale: items 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 are reverse scored, and the scores for all ten items are added up.
- The notes also suggest questions for class sharing after each activity.

Lesson 2: Personal Development: Knowing Oneself
Self-awareness is an understanding of oneself as unique from others. As an individual, we commonly observe, and undeniably, judge other people’s manners, beliefs, and lifestyle. However, it can be perceived, though, that most people find it hard to make good and sound evaluation toward their own behavior, traits, and personality. In this lesson, we will try to know ourselves better by having careful reflections on how we see ourselves as an individual and understanding our characters particularly as young and late adolescent.

What’s New
[illustration: hand holding a seedling]
Adolescence is the period when a young individual develops from a child into an adult. There are many changes that can happen to an adolescent like you and some of those are: how you look, how you take your role in the community, how other people expect you in making decisions on your own, and how you perceive yourself. Although the “Self” is one of the factors of what we thought about ourselves, it is also the result of what we think and/or do.
Many people believe that we are the product of our own experiences. Those experiences shape our unique qualities and habits that define who we as a person and differ from others. Your features or own qualities that made you a unique are characteristics; when you do something repeatedly and regularly it is a habit; and experiences are the skills or knowledge you have gained because you have done it already from the past.
Now let us focus on when and how our characteristics, habits, and experiences develop and manifest by identifying some of the factors that may affect a person’s “Self”.
Notes to the Teacher
[illustration: hand holding a stack of papers]
As the facilitator, kindly assist and explain to learners the scoring in Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
Scoring: Items 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 are reverse scored. Give “Strongly Disagree” 1 point, “Disagree” 2 points, “Agree” 3 points, and “Strongly Agree” 4 points. Sum scores for all ten items. Keep scores on a continuous scale. Higher scores indicate higher self-esteem.
Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is your evaluation of your own worth. It may be positive or negative. Positive self-esteem is the valuation that is pleasing and acceptable according to your standard and that of others, while negative self-esteem is the opposite which is feeling distraught or down and unaccepted by others. Our self-concept will contain many positive thoughts and we will have high self-esteem if we have completed an important task, done something that we believe is valuable or important, or if we feel accepted and respected by others. Thus, self-esteem does not imply that one believes that he or she is better than others, only that he or she is a person of worth (Diener & Lucas 2017).
Our self-esteem may change from time to time depending on the situation we encounter in our daily life. Since it can be partly a trait that someone can possess, it depends on how you perceive the things coming your way.
Self-esteem can be tested in two ways: explicitly and implicitly, and both methods reveal that most people have a favorable image of themselves. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is a popular explicit self-report measure of self-esteem (Stangor et al.). Higher scores on the scale indicate higher self-esteem.
Self-Efficacy
Efficacy has a specific impact on behavior and emotions, allowing people to effectively manage problems and achieve desired outcomes. It is your desire to influence something specific. It’s a self-confidence in your ability to attain your most significant goal. The greater the likelihood of achieving a positive outcome, the stronger the belief. For example, if you want to get a better grade and are secure in your belief, it will happen.
Self-efficacy may sound like a term you’re already familiar with—self-esteem—but they’re not the same thing. Self-esteem is the measure of how much you like or “esteem” yourself, or how much you believe you are a decent and worthwhile person. Self-efficacy, on the other hand, refers to your belief in your ability to succeed and perform well in various areas of life, such as education, work, and relationships (Syrett 2020).
You can perform a certain job or achieving a specific goal by means of these five (5) different ways that influenced self-efficacy, from the ideas of Albert Badura, a professor, and a psychologist.
(a) Performance Experiences – if you are good at achieving your specific goal, then you probably think that you will achieve it again. When the opposite happens, if you fail, you will often think that you will fail again.
(b) Vicarious Performances – if others achieved their goal or specific task, then you’ll come to believe that you will also achieve your goal.
(c) Verbal Persuasion – it is when people tell you whether they believe or not on what you can do or cannot do. The effect of your self-efficacy will depend on how that person matters to you.
(d) Imaginal Performances – When you imagine yourself doing well, then it will happen.
(e) The Affective States & Physical Sensations – if your mood or emotion (e.g. shame) and physical state (e.g. shaking) come together, it will affect your self-efficacy. If negative mood connects with negative physical sensation, the result will be negative. And if it is positive, most likely the result will be positive.
Self and Identity
Have you tried to talk with yourself in front of the mirror? What did you see? According to William James, a psychologist, “the self is what happens when I reflect upon ME”. Taylor described the self as a Reflective Project. How we see ourselves is geared toward improving ourselves depending on a lot of factors.
Dan McAdam, a psychologist, reiterated that even there are many ways on how we reflect to improve ourselves, it brings us back to these three (3) categories:
- Self as Social Actor
- We are portraying different roles and behaving for every type/set of people in front of us since we all care about what people think about us. It is practically for social acceptance.
- Self as Motivated Agent
- People act based on their purpose. They do things based on their own dreams, desires, and planned goals for the future. This, though, is not easily identifiable since it is self-conceptualized, unless it was shared with us.
- Self as Autobiographical Author
- He/she as the creator of his/her own entire life story. It is about how oneself is developed from his/her past, up to the present, and what he/she will become in the future.
Judgment and Decision Making
As an individual, you are expected to act and decide on your own. Most people tend to decide based on the intuitions and available information that could be a hindrance in making a wise decision and that could be a habit.
It is recommended that people think through critical judgement or decision. Unfortunately, we don’t always do so. (Jhangiani 2020) Many of us place far more trust in our instincts than we should. And, even when we try to think logically, the way we enter data into formal decision-making procedures is frequently biased.
For instance, you applied for different courses in six (6) different universities, and you were able to qualify in all. Now, how will you decide? To help you, the idea of Bazerman and Moore in 2013 reiterated by Jhangiani that suggests the Six Steps on How to Make a Rational Decision:
- Define the Problem (select your most desired course);
- Identify the criteria necessary to judge the multiple options (list things to be considered like location, facilities, prestige, etc.);
- Weight the criteria (rank the criteria based on its importance to you);
- Generate alternatives (the schools that accepted you);
- Rate each alternative on each criterion (rate each school on the criteria you have identified); and
- Compute the optimal decision
Even the most significant judgments are frequently based on limited information and intuition. A totally reasonable judgment or decision requires a careful, systematic process.
[illustration: hand holding a magnifying glass, beside the part title]
What is It
You now have the idea on how things affect one’s self. Knowing those factors, aspects, indicators, and ways to know yourself better was just an instrument to help you be able to meet and embrace your being. Who you are, what you do, and what you have been through are ultimate reasons why you are unique from others.
This activity will let you dig deeper by remembering some important aspects that made you who you are. You are opt to share your answers with your teacher/classmates.
“Me, Myself and I”
Think of a particular situation that you have been required to decide on your own for a very important matter.
- What makes you doubtful to yourself?

Notes to the Teacher
Kindly facilitate the sharing of learners in class. You may ask the following questions and/or you may add questions you preferred to ask.
1. What question from the activity you find hard to answer? 2. What are your realization after answering the question? 3. How does it feel that you share part of your life with others?
[illustration: hand stacking blocks, beside the part title]
What’s More
In this part, you will be given Two (2) different activities that will allow you to share how you see yourself and how others see you.
Activity 1.1
Some “One” Dear
You learned from the previous text that Self is a “Reflective Project”. We do reflective assessment, and we keep on trying to change ourselves for what we think is the best. Big part of the reflecting process are considerations like how you think people perceive you. However, sometimes you could get so caught up with a lot of things that you tend to fail to formally project yourself to others.
This activity will open the chance for you to tell everything that you want to say to a person dear to you. You are tasked to create a letter for someone that matters to you. Share all your learnings, your discovered characteristics, habits, and experiences that you failed to tell him/her before.
Dear _____________,

Notes to the Teacher
As facilitator kindly ask the learner to discuss his/her output by sharing the result and his/her insights with the activities. You may ask the following questions:
1. What are the common answers of your family members? 2. What do you think is/are the reason/s for their answers? 3. How does it feel that others know you that way? 5. How well do you know yourself now? Can you describe yourself based on what you have realized from the activity?
Activity 1.2
Sharing-Is-Caring
This time, you will have an idea of how well your family members know you by letting each them write what they think your strengths and weaknesses are, as well as, what they think makes you angry and happy. After the given time, look for the common answers and discuss the result with them and with your teacher.
[illustration: boy with hand on chin, thinking, with four thought bubbles labeled: “My Strengths” (top left), “My Weaknesses” (top right), “What makes me angry?” (bottom left), “What makes me happy?” (bottom right)]

- Six Steps on How to Make a Rational Decision: Define the Problem, Identify the criteria necessary to judge the multiple options, Weight the criteria, generates alternatives, rate each alternative on each criterion, and change the optimal decision. (Jhangiani 2020)
What I Can Do
Time-To-Decide
You will need four other individuals to do this task to make a group of five. It may be your siblings, parents, neighbors, etc. You are to imagine the following scenarios. Make sure that each member of the group contributes on your decision-making process.
Part I
You and your friends are on a vacation, and you all decided to ride a boat to go to a remote island to stay there overnight. Each of you brought 3 objects which you think are essential for your adventure. Everything was doing well during the trip until the winds grew stronger and the waves got rougher—you were caught in a storm at sea! At that point, you were compelled to decide to unload the boat to ease it from your weight for easier navigation. In total, you have brought 15 essential items. In order to make room in your boat, you would need to discard 12 and just leave three items with you. The items you brought were bottled water, firecracker, first aid kit, plastic bag with 3 inflatable floater, bag of blankets, box of sandwich, speaker, insect repellent, flashlight, compass, bucket of beer, bunch of banana, Ziplock bag of cellphone, sunblock, a pair of slippers.
[illustration: storm-tossed boat carrying bags and items, with printed labels “BLANKET” and “SANDWICH”]
Let each member justify his/her decision and your group need to supply the priority chart below. Copy the chart and write down your decision on a piece of paper with brief justification for each of your answer.
PRIORITY CHART
| First Object | Second Object | Third Object |
|---|---|---|
| _________ | _________ | _________ |
| _________ | _________ | _________ |
| _________ | _________ | _________ |
Guide Questions:
- What are the 3 objects you and your members decided to save?
- Why did you choose those objects?
Part II
You already have discarded 12 essential items. The storm got stronger, though, the boat could not possibly make it unless the other four jump right into the stormy seas to spare one person.
Your group should decide who would stay on the boat. Each member should state his/her reason/s why he/she chose that person to be saved. Come up with a decision. Justify your decision and write it on a piece of paper.
[illustration: five silhouettes of people standing together, each with a question mark above their head]
Guide Questions:
- What particular answer is acceptable for you? Why?
- How did you come up with a decision?
