1. The theory of personality that best described my own personality is the theory or level of three awareness: conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. I always observed and I see to it that I’m aware consciously with my undertaking, let’s say here in TCP class, before I enrolled here in FEU I told to myself that taking 18 units altogether in a graduate school is more difficult and I need to spare much time and effort of it and I made ready for myself for any possible difficulties that I’ll be encountered. If you are consciously aware of what you’re doing, it will lead to self-acceptance thus contributing to a more responsibility for one’s thought and action. I admit that it is quite difficult but I am consciously aware of myself of what I’m doing so I am much responsible on my own actions. Another point is the unconscious. All events, past experience, or happenings that is not good to me is getting in my unconscious mind. I don’t want to remember all the “not good” things or even people that I encountered in my past. By the used of the defense mechanism which is repression, I repressed what happened in my past into my unconscious memory. As far as I know, repression is the most powerful and pervasive defense mechanism, according to Freud; it works to push unacceptable id impulses out of awareness and back into the unconscious mind. Repression is the foundation from which all other defense mechanisms work; the goal of every defense mechanism is to repress, or push threatening impulses out of awareness. I’d like to share something, I honestly did not enjoy my company during college days because of the people around me. Well, for me, most of them are “mayabang”, judgmental, they feel like they belong to the “alta ciudad” even if not, and unfortunately they are not a good friend to me, but not all, still there are some. They are not fun to be with. I’ve got nothing to do with those people, but to ignore or forget them. I consciously forgetting them, honestly I already forgot most of them since it is only 3 years when I was graduated from college and whenever my good friend told me the names of my classmates, I said “sino nga ulit yun” (preconscious). The good thing is that when someone who doesn’t share anything good to you and make you feel stressful, don’t put yourself into stress or anger, instead put them into your unconscious mind or in Tagalog “kalimutan mo na lang yun”. Since I challenged with that situation, I look for the positive side of it. For me, the positive side is that it contribute well to become more for who I am and I really discover and know more about myself. It makes me feel better today.
ReplyDelete2. Ways To Develop Healthy Personality Among Students
ReplyDelete2.1. Have a positive outlook and attitude
• Never say never. Believe in yourself, basically know that you have what it takes to succeed. Your dreams and goals are an indication where your talents lie and where your true potential is. Needless to say, you must develop your inherent gifts; however, recognize that you have a unique contribution to make. When you possess a positive thinking mindset you never give up. Students must pursue their dreams, your goals and objectives with everything you've got and you don't settle for anything less. That's not to say you won't have roadblocks and various setbacks along the way. It just means that you won't let them stop you! "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
2.2. Be fun and see the humorous side of life
• School and learning are something like stressful and full of sacrifice, but with joyful friends and company, it will conquer all the negative behavior student might feel. Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh, or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation - there always is one. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you. As much as possible, avoid too much being serious and workaholic at school because it can cause unhealthy and unfriendly competition within the group, and it may cause you burn out.
2.3. Be responsible and cooperative
• Doing many things like homework, project, group work, daily task, and school activities need more effort and time, therefore student might be responsible to his own stand. Let’s say in homework, student must do and finish, and submit it on time. A responsible student is somewhat do his task ahead of time and he must see to it that all tasks are accomplished. Being cooperative and participative must also be noticed, let’s say for instance, in recitation or discussion or group work, student must give his cooperation and participation with the group. Avoid “last two minute” scenario, wherein students do their assignment in the day of the submission.
2.4. Be enthusiastic and have a self-confidence
• Student with enthusiasm may easily do their work or activity successfully. For example, if you take your work and the tasks assigned to you wholeheartedly and with eagerness, it will not be that difficult to accomplish whatever needs to be done since you have the passion to do it. Smile a lot rather than frown. Student must have enough self-confidence to face other people, specifically when interacting with them. When a student is confident, he can easily express himself, able to analyze and justify certain facts, shows eagerness to learn, as well as if the student has enough confidence he can have trust and believe in himself. Avoid too much confidence or over-confidence as it may be “danger” in some situations, let’s say for instance in a final exam, if the student is over confident he might be failed if he over-analyze and worst, if he didn’t review for the exam because he believe he will successfully pass it and he already knows everything even without review with himself.
The ways to develop healthy personality that I have made reflects or demonstrates the theory of behaviorism (by John B. Watson and BF Skinner). Basically, behavioral theories suggest that personality is a result of interaction between the individual and the environment. In the operant conditioning (as part of behaviorism) states that all behavior is learned. I believed that each person/student may learn any behavior he wants to act, but basically if it is positive behavior it will likely to occur again, and if it negative it will less likely to occur.
3. A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehavior, and often child neglect or abuse on the part of individual parents occur continually and regularly, leading other members to accommodate such actions.
ReplyDeleteOne of the important things is to verbalize the feelings of the person. Have a one-on-one conversation and let him to speak out everything inside him, all the negative feelings must be expressed. As far as I know, verbalization of feeling is important and necessary in order to lessen the feelings of burden. Teacher has the right to know some family issues (but with certain limitations) especially for the welfare of the student or child. If it is possible, teacher must talk with the concerned party (either mother or father) together with the child. A teacher will serves as a counselor for this instances. Try to explain with the child the occurrence in their home in an understandable manner. Although it is really hard to do in the real life situation, but we should do it and we must ensure that the child will feel safe, comfort, and protected, because if not, the child will look for any other means like joining a gang or bad influence group just to feel he is belonged.
Based on my observation, some broken family especially the child make their life miserable, some taking drugs to relieve the pain they feel or drink too much alcoholic beverages just to forget what happened. In some situations, daughter who is affected due to separation of their parent gets early and unwanted pregnancy or marriage just to hide the negative feelings or they want to escape from painful experience. If both parents work abroad, parents must explain thorough why they need to work abroad especially for the sake of the child. Parents usually explain like this way: “anak magtatrabaho muna ako sa abroad para may pang gastos tayo sa araw-araw at saka para sa pag-aaral mo din eto, anak sana maintindihan mo si nanay”. Well, in fact, most of the child can accept their parents decision especially if it is planned and explain carefully and expected behavior from the child is being observed.
We can use the defense mechanism sublimation wherein putting all negative feelings into much acceptable action or behavior. For example, a student experiencing extreme anger might go to the gym and do kick boxing with the punching bag as a way of venting painful experience or frustration. Freud believed that sublimation was a sign of maturity, allowing people to function normally in culturally acceptable ways. Remember this phrase: “Cheer up! It’s not the end of the world”—we must move on in every difficult or sorrow instances happened to us. As far as we can, accept it and never make yourself pulled down. No one will help us, but with ourselves. Enjoy life to its fullest.
1. The theory that best describes the development of my personality is Bandura’s social learning theory which emphasizes on the reciprocal determinism wherein the external and internal determinants are parts that affect one’s behavior and personality. I believe that my behavior is being influenced by the environment which shapes my personality and how in return, my behavior affects the environment. Bandura also pointed out that most behaviors occur even with the absence of rewards or punishments (reinforcement); that we learn how to behave by observing the behavior or action of others or by reading or hearing about it. As for me, I learned how to draw and paint by watching what and how the person is drawing/painting and also the intrinsic reinforcement, which is joy and pleasure that I get after drawing/painting. Also, being observant is helpful to me in the sense that by looking/observing what behavior a person is showing, I can understand whether that behavior or act will be rewarded or punished and store that information in my memory and as a result, I tend to be cautious and aware whether my own behavior and actions will reward or punish me. I believe that children surrounded with many influential models like parents, peers, teachers and even the characters they see in television that makes a child observe and imitate their actions and I know that I have also gone through with that when I was still a kid and it is up to me which behaviors I will choose to retain that will be part of my persona. As I grow, I know what behaviors/actions are appropriate and acceptable to a particular situation or environment.
ReplyDelete2. a. One way of helping my students in developing a healthy personality is through the usage of displacement as a form of their dense mechanism. Students experience frustration and anxiety which can be caused by different factors that can disturb or affect their behavior, personality and learning. So, guided by Freud’s defense mechanisms, I believe that if a student will be taught properly how to displace their frustration and anxiety into a productive one, it won’t be that difficult for the student to overcome his anxiety. Students unconsciously repress things that make them frustrated and anxious and it’s not a good thing because it will just distort and worsen the personality, so displacing it would be a good choice. As a teacher, if we know or notice a student who’s experiencing it, we can teach them how to convert it to something that will make use of their talent or interest. Of course, it does not resolve or eliminate the frustrated impulse but it will help them to reduce tension, feel calm and able to realize and think of the possible solutions to overcome it.
b. Another way is by making the students develop mood management, which is part of Goleman’s emotional intelligence. Teaching it to the students will be of great help as they know how to handle behaviors whether it is good or bad. I will teach the student how reframing is done wherein they will be taught to interpret the situation and take it in a positive way. It is more like teaching the student how to be optimistic despite the bad experience that occurred to them. Another technique is by teaching them that if the situation is too hot to handle, he can go alone or leave himself alone so that he can calm down and think more straight of the possible solutions to a certain problem and also through praying, as it is the most powerful and best way in handling such mood.
2. c. Third is by guiding the student in accordance to Erikson’s psychosocial stages. Focusing on the sense of identity or self-concept of the students, they tend to develop identity crisis which is part if the development of their personality. Students tend to explore various behaviors, interests and ideologies as they try or modify those in order to fit or shape it in the self-concept. As a teacher, we should project or show consistent values that will help them seek their true identity easier. Active participation of the peers, teachers and parents (especially the mother since she plays on the most critical stage of development (trust vs. mistrust) that requires her to create a loving and attentive response to the child) are important so that it will be meaningful for the student to know how to behave and what to do in life. Also, the development of a stable self-esteem is important for the students that are a result of their parent’s approval/support to certain things, support from peers and teachers, adjustment and success in school. Giving support to your student as they achieve success or failure is the teacher’s job since they are considered as the second parent for this helps them attain self-esteem and identity achievement.
ReplyDelete3. A student who belongs in a dysfunctional family is a very fragile person as they are exposed or being surrounded by a lot of negative impulses. So many thoughts and feelings are being repressed and denied to the point that if those are not released, they have the tendency to explode, worst is committing suicide or engaging in drugs, especially when the situation is hard for them to control or cope up. According to Freud, an individual who repressed their feelings and thoughts are the ones who want to exclude from their awareness the events or memories that are painful and frightening to them as their way of guarding or protecting their ego. Having separated parent who is cohabiting with another person, being abused by a parent and having absentee parents are definitely a painful and stressful even for a child/student. It is the reality that they cannot accept immediately, as these situations evoke shame, guilt, depression, embarrassment and fright to them. As a teacher, we should build their self-concept or make them realize their self-worth. According to Carl Rogers, making an individual identifies their self-concept (real self) by giving awareness what person he is like and what he can do as a person. It is also similar to Erik Erikson’s main point in the identity development of an individual wherein the sense of identity should be develop like who they are, what they are doing and where they belong to. Helping the student understand their worth and importance as a person is a n effective stop for them to acquire a broader understanding/perception of the world which includes the acceptance of the reality i.e. having a broken family, being an abused child or having an absentee parent. Students who are in a dysfunctional family needed to be valued even if their feelings and attitudes are negative, so as a teacher and being their second parent, we should make them feel their worth as a student and as an individual.
1. I think the theory that best describes my personality is based on Costa and Mcrae. According to this theory, personality is made up of a number of broad traits. A trait is basically a relatively stable characteristic that causes an individual to behave in certain ways. I am the kind of person who wants everything to be organized, for example I can’t concentrate on the things that I am doing when everything around me is not in proper places, before I start to do something I make sure that everything inside the room is in proper places and I also listed the things that I will do for the day or for the whole week, and I want everything to be detailed. This trait describe in one of the big five dimensions of personality which is the conscientiousness, which states that those high in conscientiousness tend to be organized and mindful of details, it is planned rather than spontaneous behavior. Another is, I am the kind of person who is very moody and somewhat emotional, this also applies in one of the big five dimensions which is the neuroticism, in which those individuals that are high in this trait tend to experience emotional instability, anxiety, moodiness, irritability, and sadness.
ReplyDelete2. Here are some ways to develop a healthy personality among the students.
Avoid labels. You want your students’ personality to develop on its own, without being shaped by yours (or anyone else's) views. So avoid labeling your students with words like shy, bossy, emotional, or tough.
Set an example. You're probably the person your students see and imitate the most, because most of their time is spent in classroom or in school. So it's up to you to model politeness, sharing, and patience.
Realize it's nature and nurture. Don't chalk up your students’ personality to just their nature or how you nurture them: Both matter and work together to create the diversity of students’ personalities.
3. The teacher's personality and behavior, respect for diversity and individual differences, and effective classroom management play a role in helping to ensure that students feel a sense of belonging, security, and trust. A nurturing emotional environment is especially important for those children and youth whose families exhibit behaviors such as abuse and neglect, violence, and alcohol and other drug abuse. School safety is directly associated with the stress experienced by students, teachers, and parents. Important areas that should be considered regarding safety and injury prevention include playground safety, violence prevention, conflict resolution, procedures for emergencies and disasters, and promotion of smoke- and drug-free schools. It is critical that teachers and other school staff possess emotional wellness in order to manage their own lives as well as the lives of the children within their circle of influence. Schools play a vital role in stress management by assuring a healthy learning environment, providing services for stress reduction, enhancing student and staff knowledge and skills for coping with stress, and coordinating activities with families and communities. The Comprehensive School Health Program is an effective model for implementing stress management in schools and communities to enhance the well-being of children.
1. I think the theory of Alfred Adler which is Individual Psychology best describes my own personality. According to him, people are motivated by purposes and goals. He believed in single “drive” or motivating force behind our behavior, claiming that the desire we have to fulfill our potentials becomes closer and closer to our ideals. I believe I am focused on maintaining control over my life. I also have many goals in my life. I will use these goals to be successful in life. I want to reach these goals. These purposes and goals are my motivation in everything I’m doing. I’m also the type of person that strives for the best and towards superiority. When I fail in one aspect, I try and try to overcome this failure by striving hard or by going into another aspect. I also believe that every person’s personality is unique. For me, social interest or other people are very important to every human survival. Every person wants to be cared, loved, and secured by other people. For example, Support from my family helps me to strive hard and reach my dreams.
ReplyDeleteAnother theory that best describes my own personality is the theory of Albert Bandura which is Social Cognitive Theory. He stated that behavior is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning. I learn best from observation. An example of this is when I had my BLS training, our instructors let us watch their demonstrations and a video clip. This is more effective and I really learned from observing their actions. In real life, all of us are surrounded by our parents, friends, teachers, media and etc. What we are now is because of other people surrounding us. He also stated that people learn through observing others’ behavior, attitudes and outcomes of those behaviors. I also love observing other people. I observe someone and when I find his or her action or behavior is somehow good and acceptable, sometimes I imitate those actions and behavior. I also believe that all of us are also being influenced by other people.
2. We can develop a healthy personality among the students by doing the ff:
a. Do not ignore the weaknesses of a student.
Though a child may be good in studies, it is very important to brush the skills and abilities of a child by helping him join some additional activity in class or by giving him some simple responsibilities or by teaching the proper way of that skill and repeat it most often.
b. Respond to the student in positive ways to help them feel good about themselves.
We should also give them positive and honest recognition or praises. These can help to boost the self-confidence of the students and eventually boost their self-esteem.
c. Be a good role model
Our attitudes, actions and certain acts have a great influence on students. They spent most of their time in school so they imitate sometimes the teachers so teachers need to behave well in front of their students.
3. Teachers are also committed to the student’s social and emotional development. A child’s success in life depends on their social skills and emotional development and also the academics. For me, we can develop the socio-emotional life of our students who belong to a dysfunctional families by accepting them for who they are and their status. Do not judge the students and respect them. They need understanding and total support from us. We are their second parents. If the parents do not do their roles with our students, it is our role to do their roles, not financially, but most importantly socially, physically and emotionally. It is our role to protect them from any harm especially the students who are abused by their parents. Do some actions that can boost their self-esteem by praising or motivating those students most often or simply by giving positive reinforcements. We should encourage some coping skills like diversional activities like talking to them more often. We should reassure their safety and security. We should allow retelling of events and be patient listening to them. We must encourage discussion of disturbing feelings. Make sure that we maintain privacy of the status of the students and not to tell their condition on co-teachers or other students. We should help make sense of what has happened and protect them from re-exposure and trauma.

ReplyDeleteAlthough we have discussed Erik Erikson as under the Socio-emotional theorists, His Epigenetic principle is actually a Personality theory. Erik Erikson was a Freudian ego-psychologist, and therefore, accepted Freud’s ideas as basically correct. Erik Erikson’s Epigenetic Principle or developmental stages is the theory that shaped my personality the most.
I had an issue with my “Trust vs. Mistrust” stage. Firstly, my parents are never the type of parents that like to cuddle and give their children hugs and kisses. My mother was a flight stewardess; therefore, she was away most of the time, even during birthdays, Christmases, and other special occasions. My father was an engineer, and would always go to work very early, and go home very late. In short, my siblings and I were mostly left with our yaya at home. We were taught how to be independent and manage on our own. Expressive love is not freely given at home. This lack of expressive love gave me a “Trust vs. Mistrust” conflict in life. It was hard for me to trust people, and let people love me, heck, I don’t even love myself! I thought that, because my family ignores me most of the times, and doesn’t hug me, or kiss me, or show how much they love me, except for giving me money and providing food, then, I don’t deserve love after all. I am not worthy of love, and so I started hating myself. I think I’ve mentioned this before. I developed a self-mutilation problem, as a result of unsuccessfully going through my “Trust vs. Mistrust” stage. Even until I grew up to have relationships, my self-loathing hindered my ability to accept love from boys whom I knew were freely giving them, because I still felt undeserving. Fortunately, God helped me through it. Even though, I still feel moments of worthlessness, when I think about how God still wants me here in this world, I feel blessed, and think that maybe I do have some worth. Erik Erikson said that people who are unsuccessful in breezing through the very first stage of development usually have failures in the other stages of development. He was right. I didn’t breeze through my development and maturity as a person. I CRAWLED. I was insecure, angry, confused, and frustrated at everything, even at myself; And having dealt with all those developmental failures as I grew up, turned me into a stronger person. I still have my moments, my hard times, but I can truly say that I can now bend without breaking.

ReplyDeleteWAYS TO DEVELOP PERSONALITY
1.Read more and expand your interests.
According to Erik Erikson, Everyone goes through a stage of Moratorium, or identity crisis, wherein you have many interests and beliefs, but don’t commit to a specific one. To develop a person’s personality, he/she must give in to these explorations. As a teacher, I will let my students read books about topics that may be a little bit unconventional, yet interests them. Get them into all kinds of things and activities. It may be confusing at that time to others, but in the long run, it develops in a person a strong sense of identity, and self. He will have already known what he truly wants, because he has experienced it all.
2.Have a lot of common sense and presence of mind.
Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory points out that we should have a firm grasp of our reality principle: The Ego. It is important not just to teach our students academics, but more importantly, how to cope in the world outside of school. Connecting lessons to real life situations and making them socially aware are some of the things a teacher could do to develop their student’s personality. They will grow to be adults who are not only academically smart, but smart in life as well.
3.Don’t feel the need to conform to everyone’s views.
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Self-Actualization is at the peak of this hierarchy, according to him, this is the ultimate thing people are aiming to achieve. I think that one of the things a person can do to develop his/her personality, is not conforming to others. Everyone is unique after all. You cannot become self-actualized, when all you want to do is fit in, making you an insecure person. To develop a person’s personality, it’s important to explore the world, but more importantly, to explore and know one’s true self. As a teacher, I will encourage my students to be their unique selves. I will encourage them to have their own opinions, and not give in to what is generally accepted, if there is reason to believe otherwise. I don’t want my students to be mindless robots, I want them to have opinions, and views, and perspectives, regardless if they are against the society’s or mine. Having the freedom to be themselves empowers them, and gives them a sense of purpose.

ReplyDeleteThe best thing you can do to your student who belongs to a dysfunctional family Is to serve as a guide, and advocate. In class, I could give all of them activities from which they can develop their coping and social skills. I would give it to the whole class, to make it seem natural. I am helping a specific student, but not trying to make him/her feel isolated. I will also encourage my class to consult with me during my free time. I will make my students feel like I am open, and ready to be a listening ear to them. As for students who are physically and verbally abused, it is a teacher’s responsibility to be advocates for them: Serving as a bridge, to experts, to social workers, the church, or even the police. We may have limitations when it comes to interfering with our student’s lives outside of school, but as teachers we can always do something about it.
The theory of personality that best described my own personality is Freud’s Theory of Personality Development. Freud emphasized the role of childhood experiences in shaping the adult personality. He claimed that childhood experiences are repeated throughout life and are critical in determining one’s adult relationships. childhood experience is pivotal in creating neural networks that shape the personality and person’s expectations of how others will respond to them.
ReplyDeleteThe Oral stage, occupies the first 12 – 18 months of life,and centres on the mouth, lips and tongue. It is manifested by chewing, biting and sucking. The objective is to establish a comfortable expression and gratification of oral needs without excessive conflict.Successful resolution of oral stage provides a basis in character for a capacity to trust others as well as have a sense of self – reliance and self – trust.The Anal stage, from 18 – 36 months of age, involves bowel function and control. This is essentially a period of striving for independence and separation from dependence and control by the parent. Successful resolution leads to development of a capacity for independence and personal initiative without guilt, a capacity for self determining behaviour without a sense of shame or self doubt.The Phallic stage, starts sometime during the 3rd year of life and goes on till the 5th year. This stage is characterized by primary focus of sexual interests, stimulation, and excitement in the genital area.This stage gives rise to powerful internal resources for regulation of drive impulses and their direction to constructive ends known as the superego. The Latency phase, is a phase of relative inactivity, starting at the age of 5 or 6 and going on to age of 11 – 13 years. This is the phase when there is broadening of contacts with other significant figures outside the family, such as teachers, coaches, and other adults.The Genital or adolescent phase, extends from the onset of puberty at around 11 to 13 years and continues to young adulthood. The person reaches a satisfying capacity for self realisation and meaningful participation in the areas of work and love; fulfilling one’s adult roles and duties.
Ways To Develop Healthy Personality Among Students:smile, a friendly voice and a helpful attitude.These are all indications of one facet of a healthy personality, which relates to temperament. 1. Learn to accept the inevitable things in life.This simply means that a mature mind helps yourself prepare for the unexpected things to happen in your way. And with this, by being prepared, you can no longer caught yourself in such a bitter phase of life for as hearsay says " Preparedness is half the battle won."
ReplyDelete2. Exercise restraint and temperance and moderation in the expression of your emotion.
The statement conveys that emotional expressions must be taken all in moderation. Too much of something is dangerous, hence things must be handled with proper control and manifestation.
3. Cultivate a sense of humor.
This means for a mental view that will take every thing in good stand and that enables every man to prioritize the indispensable pieces of life.
THE SELF AND LANGUAGE
a sense of self separate from the environment. Psychologists including Lev Vygotsky have explored the link between language, thinking and the concept of self.
Family dysfunction can be any condition that interferes with healthy family functioning. Most families have some periods of time where functioning is impaired by stressful circumstances (death in the family, a parent's
ReplyDeleteserious illness, etc.)Many of the survival behaviors you developed are your best assets. For example, people who grow up in dysfunctional families often have finely tuned empathy for others; they are often very achievement-oriented and highly successful in some areas of their lives; they are often resilient to stress and adaptive to change. In examining changes you may want to make in yourself, it is important not to lose sight of your good qualities.
children of dysfunctional families continue to seek approval and acceptance from their parents and families. If these people could not meet your needs when you were a child, they are unlikely to meet your needs now. Recognize your parents' limitations while still accepting whatever support they can offer. Seek your support from other adults. Practice saying how you feel and asking for what you need. Don't expect people to guess -- tell them.
1. Which theory of personality best describes the development of your personality. Explain.
ReplyDeleteFor me it would be the Nature vs Nurture Theory,, it’s because I know to myself that my personality developed because of the people around me, he environment, my friends, teachers, neighbors and everything and everyone around me. And in addition to this I got or inherit some of my attitudes to both my mom and my dad. So this theory best describes who Iam now and who I will be in the future.. I was nurtured by the people around me and the things remained to me (attitudes) was my nature.
2. Describe at least three ways were you can help develop healthy personality among your students. Identify the theory of personality that serves as the bases of your proposal.
As a teacher, I know I will be the second mother of my students, and because of that I will in many ways.. Let’s start with the Nature vs Nurture Theory—a very good way to develop healthy personality is to let them develop what they have since birth, like their talents, I will surely nurture what they have so they will improve and they will learn to appreciate what they have. Also with regard to their attitude, I will surely be a good adviser for my students. Another way is to develop what they don’t usually have when they are born—confidence—this will now be under the theory of INFERIORITY AND BIRTH ORDER.. another way is to develop their sense of responsibility, to others and to themselves, teach them on how to learn new things with other people and learning from the mistakes of others and their own mistakes, in that way they can go on with their lives and be successful—THIS WILL BE UNDER THEORY OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
3. . How will you help develop the socio-emotional life of your student who belongs to a dysfunctional family, for example; having a separated or annulled parent who is cohabiting with another person, being physically or verbally abused by their parent; or having an absentee parent. Be sure to explain the rationale behind your approach.
If I were the student who has this kind of family, I will surely be depressed and be angry. It’s hard for a student to be in the school with this kind of background. But as the second mother of the student I will surely do my best to let her understand why we are all here in this world and why do we have different scenarios in life.. For me by letting the student that she’s not alone is a very good way to develop her socio-emotional personality--- letting her feel that she is loved, she is being needed by someone--- company will keep her safe…
1. Which theory of personality best describes the development of your personality. Explain.
ReplyDeleteThe theory that describe's my personality is Jean Piaget's theory on cognitive development. This theory suggest how infants and children assess and process knowledge that they acquire. But after learning the stages of this theory I realized that even I am a grown up adult I am still returning to my Assimilation stage. Because of this I am still in the process of being an curious individual. I tend to learn and experience new things that I don't know. I am always excited to meet people that developed my personality. Because of my curiosity I developed and learned on how to better interact with people.
2. Describe at least three ways were you can help develop healthy personality among your students. Identify the theory of personality that serves as the bases of your proposal.
Nurture vs Nature-Working with students require us teachers to motivate them to acquire knowledge and be successful in their chosen field. Some students in their early age realized that they are less gifted in terms of intelligence. But as teachers we should let our students realize that with right motivation, hard work and proper guidance they can succeed in life. All of us are given special talents. Some students developed them in their early age but others discover them in their late stage. As second parents to our student, us teacher need to help our students to realize and discover their potentials.
3. . How will you help develop the socio-emotional life of your student who belongs to a dysfunctional family, for example; having a separated or annulled parent who is cohabiting with another person, being physically or verbally abused by their parent; or having an absentee parent. Be sure to explain the rationale behind your approach.
Having this kind of student will surely affect the classroom and other students. For sure his bad experiences in their house will be brought and will affect his relationship with his classmates. And this kind of students are the ones who become the "teacher's enemy number one". As their second parents we need to know each of our student's individual problem and situation. We need to know what are the reasons why they act like that. After knowing the reason we can now have the approach to change their attitude that resulted from their bad experiences.
1.Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is one of the best-known theories of personality in psychology. Erikson's theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. One of the main elements of Erikson's psychosocial stage theory is the development of ego identity. Ego identity is the conscious sense of self that we develop through social interaction. According to Erikson, our ego identity is constantly changing due to new experiences and information we acquire in our daily interactions with others. In addition to ego identity, Erikson also believed that a sense of competence motivates behaviors and actions. Each stage in Erikson's theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life. If the stage is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery, which is sometimes referred to as ego strength or ego quality. If the stage is managed poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In each stage, Erikson believed people experience a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. In Erikson's view, these conflicts are centered on either developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality. During these times, the potential for personal growth is high, but so is the potential for failure. As for me, one concrete example in my life is the development of my competence in studying. Eversince I was a child, my papa boyet would always guide me in my studies. He started it with story telling then, asking questions and whenever I had assignments, he guides me and help me had advance reading. This made me one of the top students in class which then gave me the inspiration to continue such study habit of aiming for excellence. On the other hand, I had a tita who would always tell me na “matigas ang katawan ko” or “parehong kaliwa ang paa” everytime I would attempt to dance when I was a child. This create in me a sense of inferiority and lack of confidence in dancing, this is explained by the sense of inadequacy mentioned by Erik erikson.
ReplyDelete2.1 Be generous in giving praises to your students- As explained by Erik Erikson, this boost the ego of our students which then help them become more confident and positive
2.2 Another way is by making the students develop mood management, which is part of Goleman’s emotional intelligence. Every one of us has the tendency to get upset and irritated due to some factors, in times like these, i’l teach my student the value of self-control, positive thinking and being grateful. Even if the situation only has a percent of the optimistic side, I’l help them see that side anyway. Example is when a glass is 50% filled up, I’l make them see that it is half full that half empty.
2.3 Be their role model in every aspect and every are of life- What is in our heart, overflows when we get in the classroom. WE have to be right inside and outside. If our heart is right, our character will be right; and f our heart stinks, our character will follow. And this is what we will manifest in the workplace. We have to be a good model in all aspects. We have to show them diligence, being responsible and accountable, that integrity is priceless and that honesty and patience are virtues
3. I myself, belong toa dysfunctional family. The best thing that I can do to help my students who belong to dysfunctional families is first and foremest praying for them. I’l first bridge my way to their heart by being a mother to them. I’l make them feel that I’m for their best concern. As I have established good relationship with them, I will introduce them JESUS. I will help them see the faithfulness of HIM and His unconditional love. If they have this foundation in life, no matter how damaging their situation in life is, for sure, there’s nothing that they won’t overcome victoriously

ReplyDeleteThe theory that best describes my personality is Erik Erickson’s Theory of) Psychosocial Development. This theory has different stages that need to be experienced and completed. Failure to complete a certain stage may result in fixation and over staying in one stage may result in over satisfaction. The attitude and personality of every individual is affected by the experiences in each stage. For instance, Trust vs. Mistrust - there’s a crying baby and the baby demands milk because of hunger. The parents respond may differ. Insufficient and delayed breastfeeding may result in mistrust while sufficient supply and immediate responds may result in trust. In my case, I think I have an issue with Intimacy and Isolation. When I was a child I used to enjoy solitude and I prefer to study and play all by myself. Later on, I realized that there are lots of things that need to be explored and share with others. I moved on and appreciate the beauty of friendships.
(2) Healthy Personality of Students
(a) Encourage the students to increase self-awareness and have self-reflection.
Under Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory, the Intrapersonal Intelligence plays an important role in developing the personality of every individual. The more you know yourself the more you will understand your strength and weaknesses. Being aware of your own actions and thoughts will help you know what the right things to do are or what will be the benefits for yourself and for the environment. The theory of awareness helps in identifying the conscious and unconscious matters.
(b) Let the students engage in social activities where they can mingle with friends and society.
Interpersonal relationship increases the bond and the understanding of human nature. Students will learn to appreciate the differences of every people. They will learn how to deal with them. The character and temperament will be molded well. New things will be shared with one another. The relationship will be stronger. Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development and Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytical Theory helps in social development and strengthening the social interaction.
(c) Let the students enjoy freedom and provide them the opportunity to explore the world.
The psychological and physiological needs of the students must be provided in order to develop a healthy personality. Support system must always be available to guide the students’ actions. Let them increase their knowledge through reading and direct experiences. The lessons that will be gathered by the students in their previous experiences will serve as the basis of their present and future decisions. Freud’s theory about id, ego and superego can help a lot in personality development. There must be balance in every student’s personality. The id serves as the pleasure side, the superego is the conscience side where it reflects students’ sensitivity and the ego serves as the moderator in order to attach in the reality.

ReplyDeleteSocio-emotional life of students must be guided especially if they belong to a broken family or when they experience abuses and difficulties in their family status. Every student must be assessed individually based on their problems. The background and history must be gathered in order to come up with a definite diagnosis and in order to provide the suited intervention. The core of the problems must be identified. To solve the issues of students with dysfunctional families, the students must first be willing to face the problems. Acceptance will result into satisfaction, contentment and happiness. They must learn how to accept the things and circumstances in the past especially if they have nothing to do with it. The students must not be blamed by the faults that were committed by their parents. The students with dysfunctional families must be open-minded and they must have a positive approach about their situations in life. They are not the only ones who belong in this situation. The attention of the students must be diverted into other activities. Friends can serve as guide and listener of emotional problems. They can experience comfort with their relationships with their friends. The love and belongingness that they cannot experience in their family can be gained from the people around them. Proper guidance and counseling must be given to them to avoid committing the same mistakes that their parents did.
1. I believe that it is Erick Erickson’s theory that best describes my personality. I believe that I experience different psychosocial stages. For now, I am in the stage of Intimacy versus Isolation. During this stage, young adults choose either love and affiliation or promiscuity and exclusivity from friends, officemates, and other people around them. As for me, I am enjoying this stage of my life where I get bond with a lot of people and I get to learn new things from them.
ReplyDelete2. Based on Erick Erickson’s Theory, high school students are in the stage of Industry versus Inferiority. So as an educator, I could be of help to my students by encouraging, guiding, and listening to them. A lot of students become inferior because of the changes that are happening in their bodies. That is why there is a great need for someone to guide and encourage them or sometimes just to lend a pair of listening ears. These three things could really make a big impact in their lives.
3. Helping a student from a dysfunctional family is not an easy job. First, I need to know the child’s situation. I need to know the severity of his or her situation. Then, depending on the situation, I need to tell the child that the problem needs to be addressed and that he or she needs help. This is because many of the abused children think that what they experience is normal and they would just keep quiet about it.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne Therese, Kaye (Anthony)and Adel, I did not read your reply on this blog; hence, you have no grade in this blog.
ReplyDeleteTo all my students, thank you so much for the semester that we spent in class. I hope that all the theories, principles, and learning will help you to be a better educator. God bless.
