Understanding the Self

 Course Description:
The course deals with the nature of identity, as well as the factors and forces that affect the development and maintenance of personal identity.
The directive to Know Oneself has inspired countless and varied ways to comply. Among the questions that everyone has had to grapple with at one time or other is 'Who
am l?" At no other period is this question asked more urgently than in adolescence — traditionally believed to be a time of vulnerability and great possibilities. Issues of self and
identity are among the most critical for the young.
This course is intended to facilitate the exploration of the issues and concerns regarding self and identity to arrive at a better understanding of one's self. It strives to meet
this goat 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 a nd
improve their selves to attain a better quality of life.
The course is divided into three major parts: The first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from various disci plinal perspectives: philosophy, sociology,
anthropology, and psychology—as well as the more traditional division between the East and West—each seeking to provide answers to the difficult but essential question of
"What is the self?" And raising, among others, the question: "Is there even such a construct as 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 concern for young students: learni ng, 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 the mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education.

Contact Hours: 3 hours every week for 18 weeks or 54 hours in a semester
