COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course deals with the nature of identity, as well as the factors and forces that affect the development and maintenance of personal identity. It 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 goal by stressing the integration of
the personal with the academic – contextualizing matters discussed in the classroom and in the everyday experiences of the 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.
This course is divided into three major parts: the first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from various disciplinal 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 a
question of “What is 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: 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.
Lastly, this course includes the mandatory topics on Family Planning and Population Education.
