The Human Person

The human person is the subject of education: he/she is a human person
learning and being taught. The human person is also the object of
education: he/she is at the center of the curriculum and the entire program.

Important Realities of the Human Person
1. The self-image
a. Refers to a person’s understanding of himself/herself.
b. It is responsible in influencing people’s way of living.
c. There are three kind of self-image:
 Negative self-image – delves on limitations
and differences rather than assets
 Overrated self-image – stresses the positive traits
 Realistic self-image – based on the real self
2. The others
3. The being
4. The “I”
5. The sensibility and the body

Five Pivotal Center as the Components of the Human Person
1. The being – this is the fundamentally positive reality which can
be sensed in the very depths of the human person.
2. The “I” – this is the reality felt at the level of the head.
3. The sensibility – it carries messages from the “I” from the being,
and from the in-depth conscience.
4. The body – it is the biological reality and has its own laws.
5. In-depth conscience – this reality is a place where the other four
pivotal centers can be perceived in a synthesis

Behavior – it is the manner of conducting oneself. It is the manner in
which a person behaves.

Attitude – it is a position assumed for a specific purpose.

Values Development

 Value Defined
1. Value derived from the Latin word, valere, which means to be worth or to
be strong. A thing has value when it is perceived to be intrinsically good
and desirable.
2. Values are the bases of judging what attitudes and behavior are correct
and desirable and what are not.

Values System: Various Views


The meaning of values
According to Clyde Kluckhohn,” a value is a conception, explicit or implicit,
distinctive of an individual or characteristic of a group, of the desirable which
influences the selection from available modes, means, and ends of action.”

According to Cornelius J. van der Poel,” values refers to the understanding of a

certain good for an individual or society which is considered worthy of
realization.”

According to Brian Hall, Michael Kenny, and Maury Smith, “value is something
that is freely chosen from alternatives and is acted upon, or that which the
individual celebrates as being part of the creative integration in development
as a person.

A value is something that is considered good or worthy and desirable or useful by

a person or group. It can be a one-word standard of conduct (respect) or a policy
that everyone in an organization adheres to and believes in.

Values Education
Values education is the process by which values are formed in the
learner under the guidance of teachers and parents as the former
interacts with his/her environment.

The Values of Being and Giving (Eyre & Eyre, 1993)
a true and universally acceptable “value” is one that produce behavior that
is beneficial both to the practitioner and to those on whom it is practiced.

1. Values of Being
 Honesty – must be practiced with other individuals, with
institutions, with society, and with oneself.
 Courage – this means daring to attempt difficult things that are
good. It is the strength not to follow the crowd, to say no and
mean it, and influence others by it.

3
  Peaceableness – this means calmness, peacefulness, and
serenity. It is tendency to accommodate rather than argue.
 Self-reliance and Potential – these refer to a person’s
individuality, awareness, and development of his/her gifts and
uniqueness.
 Self-discipline and Moderation – these refer to physical,
mental, and financial self-discipline.
 Fidelity and Chastity – these refer to the value and security of
fidelity within marriage and of restraints and limits before
marriage.

2. Values of Giving
 Loyalty and Dependability – these mean reliability and
consistency in doing what one says he/she will do.
 Respect – it means self-respect and the avoidance of self-
criticism.
 Love – it means individual and personal caring that goes
beneath and beyond loyalty and respect.
 Unselfishness and Sensitivity – these mean learning to
feel with and for others.
 Kindness and Friendship – these refer to awareness that
being kind and considerate is more admirable than being
tough or strong.
 Justice and Mercy – these involve an understanding of the
natural consequences and the law of the harvest.

 Value Formation
The Christian value formation is a lifelong process of growing which gets
its strength from Jesus’ sermon on the mount.

Two Factors Affecting Value Formation

1) Influences – depend on a person’s internal traits and
characteristics such as intellectual and emotional capabilities.
2) Experiences – like good influences, good experiences are
needed in value formation.

Four Types of Experiences Affecting Value Formation

 Liturgical experience
 Bible experience
 Learning experience
 Human experience

  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People according to Stephen Covey
1. Be Proactive – means taking the initiative. As human beings,
we are responsible for our own lives. Highly proactive people
recognize responsibility.
2. Begin with the End in Mind – means to start with a
clear understanding of your destination.
3. Putting First Things First – while leadership decides what “first
things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day and
moment-by-moment. Management is discipline carrying it out.
4. Think Win/Win – win/win is not a technique; it is a total
philosophy of human interaction.
5. Seek First to Understand Than to be Understood – they are
filtering everything through their own paradigms and reading
their autobiography into others people’s lives.
6. Synergize - means that the whole is greater than the sum of its
parts.
7. Sharpen the Saw-The Principle of Balanced Self-renewal – it is the
habit that makes all the others possible. It is preserving and
enhancing the greatest asset you have.

The seven habits according to Stephen Covey (1990) move us progressively on

a maturity continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence.

On the Maturity Continuum:

1. Dependence is the paradigm of you – you take care of me; you come through for
me, you did not come through. I blame you for the result.
2. Independence is the paradigm of I – I can do it; I am responsible; I am self-
reliant; I can choose.
3. Interdependence is the paradigm of we – we can do it; we can cooperate; we can
combine or talents.
