It is divided into three chapters, focused on discussing the self as a construct, the factors that make and break this self-concept, and the pointers on self-care and management. It includes diversified activities that illustrate real-life experiences to deliberately steer students into reflection and self-assessment, both of which are golden keys to unlocking one’s sense of self and personal identity. This module is a tool for students as they navigate the intricacies of the “SELF” amid a fast-changing world. A Course Module for Understanding the Self
