COURSE GUIDE
UNDERSTANDING THE SELF
Introduction
Understanding the Self (UTS) is primarily designed to help and provide students with
the understanding of the different aspects of self that are essential to the
development of a holistic self and the establishment of a personal identity.
Course Description
The course deals with 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 I?” 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 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.
The first part seeks to understand the construct of the self from the 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 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 identified three areas of concern for young students: learning,
goal setting and managing stress. It 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.
