8 SHARED DEVELOPMENTS

Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, you are expected to:

1. relate lessons from experiences in school and community that may help
others to academic success;
2. share insights on lessons learned from the experiences in school and
community; and
3. appreciate the impact of experiences in school and community to academic

Period: Week 1 of 2nd Quarter

Suggested Total Time Allotment: 60 Minutes

Introduction

You might have heard of the wise saying that “experience is the best teacher”. Each
year in your life ushers in a lot of experiences for you to reflect on. You may not like everything
that happens to you in school or in the community, especially those that bring you discomfort,
difficulty or detriment, but you have to bear with these occurrences with a positive disposition.

You have to remember that you cannot prevent circumstances from happening,
especially those that might challenge your patience, determination and drive as a young
learner. It’s good to remember that experiences, whether in school or in the community, will
open opportunities for you to gain lessons which you can utilize to help and inspire yourself
and others. Your negative or positive personal experiences coupled with your coping skills can
serve as your stepping stones to academic success.

As you gain more experiences, you will get to appreciate that those are just parts of
life to make you a flourishing, and well-adjusted member of the community.

Let’s Try This


Suggested Time Allotment: 5 minutes

Processing Questions:

1. As a learner and as a young member of your community, how did you use
these lessons to become better?
2. How will you use these lessons to help other learners like you?

Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes


As a learner and as a member of your community, you have in you a lot of unique
experiences. All these experiences that you have, positive or negative, certainly play a vital
role in your life. Sometimes, people only give importance to the positive experiences and
disregard the negative ones. Without these negative experiences, you will not be equipped to
transform life’s challenging experiences into learning experiences. These learning
experiences are important in your achievement of academic success.

A wise learner is someone who is able to acknowledge and accept that in life, positive
and negative experiences have to occur. He or she is someone who is able to make use of
these experiences to learn from the past, to improve, and to move forward.
Here are the characteristics of a wise learner:

7
Seeks knowledge and skill outside the box. A wise learner is keen on discovering new
experience, culture and perception because he or she knows that development can be
enriched by learning from others. He or she is adaptable and learns even in the midst of
adversity and challenges.

Utilizes what he or she learns. Learning without application is a plant without growth.
A wise learner patiently digests what has been fed to him or her because he or she knows that
learning only starts to have meaning when he/she makes use of it effectively in everyday life
situations.

Contemplates on global events and concerns, and ponders how he or she can be part
of the solution. A wise learner recognizes that issues such as climate change, unrest and
inequality are important matters that everyone must be involved with.

Communicates with the world outside his or her window. A wise learner acknowledges
that he or she can learn much from the interaction with others. He or she knows that learning
should not be limited by distance and thus, reaches out beyond his or her comfort zone.

Engages with others with the use of appropriate responses. A wise learner knows that
exhibiting empathy, extending compassion and emulating maturity are marks of effective
learning. Because learning is not merely comprised of numbers, facts and historical dates but
it also consists of language and complexities beyond the pages of a book or the corners of a
classroom.

Sees technology and modern advances and uses them as an advantage to further his
or her learning. A wise learner wields the power of technology to share his or her ideas, work
together with others and discover what is unknown to him or her before.

Shapes his or her mind to be open-minded and receptive to different perspective,


beliefs and ideas. A wise learner is free from prejudice and discrimination. He or she prioritizes
learning above all. He or she knows that to achieve academic success, he or she must be
curious but always fair and innovative without compromising values.

With all these helpful steps presented, challenging experiences in school and in the
community will not stop you from achieving academic success. You are on your way to
becoming a wise learner.

co-gamers. Deciding is not always a walk in the park. Here are a few known strategies
that will help you in decision-making.

The Three Cs of Decision-Making


Clarify – first, be clear about the problem that has to be solved. When the problem
has become understandable, it becomes easy to identify what decision has to be
made.
Consider – explore all possible choices or options and visualize what would happen
for each choice or option; carefully think about the positive and negative consequences
for each choice. It is also best to get additional information from reliable sources.
Choose – choosing may be difficult at times but if you are well-informed, you can be
confident that you can make the best choice.

Aside from the Three Cs, additional strategies in decision-making can also be
used. Here are some alternative strategies that can help you in your decision-making
process.

Considering the pros and cons. By carefully weighing the advantages and
disadvantages, the favorable and unfavorable and the good and the bad points can
help one in coming up with a solid and balanced decision.

Analytical approach. This can be used by breaking down a problem until it


reaches a stage where it can be easily solved. By separating a problem into its smallest
parts, its complexity is also diminished.

Types of Decision-Making

Majority Rule – This is when a decision is the one that has the most number of
support. Some examples include ballot voting and a show of hands.

When to use it:


• Options are clear and simple and not likely to be misinterpreted.
• Group has discussed issue at length beforehand but can’t come together
to an agreement.
• Group is on a deadline to make a decision.
• Power in a group is somewhat balanced, so all members’ voices are
equally heard.

Consensus Rule – When a decision is made by a group as one. Everybody agrees


on one thing in the end.

When to use it:


• Time is not limited and a decision is not subjected to be made by a target
date.
• There are different perspectives but there is a common goal.
• People are willing to engage in numerous discussions to share ideas and
to find solutions.

We always hear the phrase, “Knowledge is power.” A learner like you can make
good decisions only when you are informed. Here are a few steps that might help in
making better choices.

7
Identify what should be decided. This is the first step in most decision-making
situations. What do I do today? What do I wear for my class? Identification aids in
narrowing down and solving the problem at hand.

No or Yes. At times, problems and dilemmas are answerable by a simple yes or no.
But often, decisions must be considered well and it can take days and nights for a
sound decision to be made.

Find A Friendly Advice. Teenagers are often at risk of making poor decisions because
they do not seek advice from people, especially those who can help them. Don’t be
afraid to reach out and ask for help from others such as your parents, teachers,
counselors and friends.

Options are great weapons in making sound decisions. Write down the pros and cons
and give it a thought. It might help you in times of confusion and bewilderment.

Reflect. Most people reflect after making a decision but reflecting on a decision before
it can be made is a great idea. It’s not a bad thing to ask, sit down for a second and
ask yourself: “Is this the right thing to do?”

Make a deadline. Ideally, enough time should be given to make a wise decision but
there are instances when a decision must be made immediately such as when one
decides whether to accept a job or refuse it, or when one decides when to start that
school project that is due soon.

Envision a situation afterwards. Close your eyes and imagine a scene after making a
particular decision. For example, when you buy an item that you want but is way out
of your budget. Imagine yourself paying off that object. Do you see an empty wallet?
Do you think maybe it would be better if you save up for it first?

Don’t be in a rush. Sometimes when we rush ourselves, we make rash decisions instead.
Try to let a day pass before making a big decision. Think about it overnight and make a
choice later.

Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 10 minutes


You have made decisions in the past and will be making still in the coming
days, weeks or months. To be better on this, you may want to look back and reflect
how you were doing it and be mindful on the learnings that those experiences try to
mold in you.

Did you have a moment of evaluating your decisions in the past? If so, how did
you do it? Here are some pointers for you to make sense out of your past
decisions:

1. Did you get the rightful results? Did it really solve your problem?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, that’s good. If “no”, why did you say so? Did
your solution create more problems or complications? If that’s the case, then, you may
take it as a learning experience. Maybe in your next decisions, you can check if your
option will really answer the problem or it will create more. If it does, then, it certainly
is not the right solution. You could consider other options next time and eliminate the
choice that brought you more problems.

2. What were the consequences when you made that decision?


What took place after your decision? Did it improve the situation? Did you feel good
about it? Decision-making comes with responsibility. It is very ideal for any decision to

7
be favorable for everyone. However, there are times that you need to calculate the risk
of your choice. Hence, it has to be a well-calculated one. You are responsible for any
decisions that you make. Good or bad, you have to own it. Be wiser with it.

3. Did it contribute to your personal growth in any areas of life (social relationship,
academic performance, career pathing, health, spiritual, etc.)
With your past decisions, can you identify any significant changes in your life in any
aspect of it? For instance, when you decided to continue your studies during this
pandemic, did it make a step nearer to your dream of finishing basic education? When
you decided to stay at home instead of going out with your friends, did it make any
difference to your safety? Try to appreciate whatever gains or personal development
you have for any choice that you have. It is a good point of reference for your
succeeding decision-making in life.

4. Did it consider the common good?

In your past decisions, did it promote the welfare of everyone around you or there are
regrets attached to it? There might be times when you are clouded by your personal
biases or perceptions. However, the common good would always be a good
consideration when weighing your options. At times, there is a need to analyze what
is good for you and for everyone. Always try to check what would be good and gain for
everyone. Your maturity and experiences aid you to always prioritize the common
good.

5. How would that make you as a person?

At the end of day, your decisions reflect the kind of person you are. However, it does
not define your future self. Our choice reveals what we think is right at that moment
though it may be unpopular for others. There is always a point of realization how our
decisions change the way we see and experience life. Don’t be discouraged if you
committed wrong decisions before. Who else did not? You could always consult the
experienced people and ask for guidance if you have to.

Nobody has the monopoly of knowledge in the world. Even experts consult with
their colleagues or other professionals in order to see the other perspectives on certain
things. There are companies who get the most brilliant advisers or consultants just to
ensure that their decisions most especially on sensitive matters are well-thought off. The
act of seeking the opinion of your respected and trusted people is no different at all. It is
part of being responsible and sound decision maker.

So, what are the other things that you can gain from seeking others’ opinion?

1. More confidence in facing problems because you know that people support you and
they have your back;
2. You are able to think properly for possible solutions to any challenges believing that
you have the capacity to do it well;
3. In seeking and learning from people’s opinions, it will help you realize that more heads
are better than one, likewise, being alone in an island is truly difficult but if you have
others, you have better chances to survive and thrive in life. Any difficult situation that
is upon us becomes less painful and uncomplicated if we have others who will walk
with us through it. We are not alone in our struggles. We only need to reach out and
ask for help.

8
4. When you share your thoughts, you lessen the burden that you carry. Seeking others
might help unload the stress and anxiety that you might be feeling;
5. Strengthen harmonious relationship with your significant others and lead you to
become people-oriented;
6. When you choose to seek help from others, you start to create a pattern where you
can also lend a hand when the opportunity comes for others will ask your help and
guidance.
7. You will develop to become a positive, well-integrated person.

You Can Do It
Suggested Time Allotment: 10 minutes
Identify a decision that you made in the past that you are comfortable to share with
your teacher. Try to evaluate it using the pointers given in the previous part. Follow the given
flow below. Do this on a sheet of paper.

Problem:

Decision:

1. Did you get the rightful results?


2. What were the consequences when you made that decision?
3. Did it contribute to your personal growth in any areas of life (social relationship, academic

Identify alternative solutions and its consequences if you were in the situation below.
Write your answers on a clean sheet of paper.

Situation:

you are encouraged to use alternative or recycled materials. However, you think that
you might need some money to do the activity. When you asked your parents about it,
they said they do not have enough money to buy the requirement. One day, while your
sibling was in the bathroom, you went back to your room to get your towel. Then you
saw money on the floor. You know that it might be owned by one of your family
members. You suddenly remembered that you needed money for your project.

Which Career Pathway is Right for You? The RIASEC Test

Processing Questions:

1. What did you find out after taking the RIASEC Test?
2. Did you discover any interests that you had not recognized before? What are they?
3. How did your interests line up with your career option?

Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes


When it comes to knowing which suitable career path to take, it is essential for you to
know your interests. The RIASEC Test is a commonly used test to determine one’s career
interests. Though you should remember that there are different bases in determining your
career path, the RIASEC Test is just one of them.
It originated from John Holland’s Theory of Career Choice. Holland, a psychologist and
a career theorist, came up with a theory explaining that an individual has skills, talents, and
traits that can be classified and arranged into categories. An individual personality can grow
in career environments they fit into.

To summarize Holland's theory:

1. In our culture, most people are one of six personality types: Realistic,
Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Some refer to these
as Holland Codes or RIASEC.
2. People who have the same personality type, when working together, will create a
work environment that fits their type. For example, when Artistic people are
together on a job, they create a work environment that rewards creative thinking
and behavior – an Artistic environment.
3. There are six basic types of work environments: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic,
Social, Enterprising, Conventional. "Work" includes doing things to achieve a
purpose, like paid and unpaid jobs, volunteering, sports, or hobbies.
4. People search for environments where they can use their skills and abilities, and
express their values and attitudes. For example, Investigative types search for
Investigative environments; Artistic types look for Artistic environments, and so
on.
5. People who choose to work in an environment similar to their personality type are
more likely to be successful and satisfied. For example, Artistic people are more
likely to be successful and satisfied if they choose a job that has an Artistic
environment, like choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school – an

You should know, however, that the RIASEC Test is just one of the many tests that
you can take to know your interests. You can always approach your guidance counselor to
know about these tests. While you are highly encouraged to always communicate your career
plans to your parents or guardians, do not forget that you can always seek career coaching
and recommendations from your adviser and teachers, and request for further career
counseling from your guidance counselor to help you make informed career decisions later
on.
