 WHAT IS
"Understanding the
Self"?

And why does it matter?

 COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and
concerns regarding self and identity to arrive at a better understanding
of ones’ self. It strives to meet its goal by stressing the integration of
the personal with the academic – contextualizing matters discussed in
the classroom and in the everyday experiences of students – making
for better learning, generating a new appreciation for the learning
process, and developing a more critical and reflective attitude while
enabling them to manage and improve their selves to attain a better
quality of life.
 COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is divided into three major parts: The first part seeks to understand the construct
of self from various disciplinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology, anthropology and
psychology – as well as the more traditional division between the East and the West – each
seeking to provide answer to difficult but essential question – “What is the Self?”. And raising,
among others, the question: “Is there even a construct of the Self?” The second part explores
some of the various aspects that make up the self; such as the biological and material up to
and including the more recent Digital Self. The third and final part identifies three areas of
concerns for young students: learning, goal setting, and managing stress. It also provides for
the more practical application of the concepts discussed in this course and enables them the
hands-on experience of developing self-help plans for self-regulated learning, goal setting and
self-care.

This course includes mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education.
