 To the Student of Personal Development:

Welcome to this course, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, or PERDEV for short. This is

a very interesting course, and can become the most personally rewarding for you,
because the subject matter for this course is YOU! As a new senior high school student,
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 teenager, but you also feel you are not quite ready to call
yourself a mature adult either. This course shall make you take a deeper look at yourself
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 life. It shall provide you
with some techniques to meet stress and other mental health issues with one’s strengths
and coping powers. The course 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.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators
from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools
Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the

economic constraints in schooling.

 RECAP

In your Adolescent years in life, you encounter different people that influence your
thoughts, actions and even language. These are the people whom you look up to; others
are who you want to be. In most cases, the people we idolized are the people who create
a much greater impact in our lives. They influence us most of the time.

LESSON

SELF CONCEPT refers to your awareness of yourself. There are two broad categories of
self-concept. IDEAL SELF and ACTUAL SELF. Ideal Self is the self that you aspire to
be. It has the characteristics which you hope to possess, similar to that of a mentor,
parents or some other worldly figures. It is how we wanted to be. Examples of these are
your ambitions in life. Others want to be a teacher, a nurse, a lawyer etc. Ideal self is
what our parents have taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes,
and what we think is our best interest. While actual self, is the one that you actually see. It
is who we actually are. It is the self that has the characteristics that you nurtured or, in some
cases, born to have. Actual self is built on self-knowledge. Self-Knowledge is derived from social
interactions that provide insight into how others react to you.

As members of society, we learn how to adjust ourselves with what society expects on us.
We call these social roles. These are outcomes from social interactions from infant to
adult development. Alignment is important. If the actual self is aligning with ideal self,
there will be a sense of mental well-being and a peace of mind. This alignment requires
negotiations. Negotiation is the numerous exchanges between ideal and actual self. If
there is no alignment, incongruence happens; thus results in mental distress or anxiety.

How do you perceive yourself?

Look at the results of your self-concept inventory and answer the following
questions.
1. In what areas do you consider yourself strong (with score 14-16 or
somewhat weak (score of 10-13) and very weak (below 10)?
2. Are these qualities you consider your weakness, being considered as
your strength by others? What are these?

Example: A lady can say “I’m ugly” yet others consider her very charming. Or
conversely, one can have the illusion of saying “I am very intelligent or
competent” when most of his ideas sound unreasonable or illogical to most of
the people. There is indeed a big difference between what you see in yourself
(real self-image) and what is projected in the eyes of the others (your social
image). How realistic is your self- image? To what extent does it reflect your
real self?
