Decision-making is essential to be successful. Every day you are facing several decisions to make because
challenges are part of our existence. They make you stronger. This module will examine the steps in decision-

Keep in Mind
Sound Decision-Making
One of the important life skills is decision-making. Decision-making is choosing between two or more
choices or options. You always need to make decisions every day. Hence, it is important to know how to make a
sound one.
Here are the steps in making a sound decision.
1) Identify the problem. It is important to know what is your problem so that you would understand the
source and the reasons of your problem.
2) Identify your choices or options with the relevant information. What are the options or choices you have
with your identified problem and the possible result of each choice/option? What information can help you decide
on this?
3) Evaluate and choose an option. What do you think and feel is the best among the choices or options?
4) Ask for help. Think of a person whom you can ask for help whenever you face problems or someone who
can guide in doing it like your Guidance Counselor. It is important to ask for help or guidance from your trusted
persons so that you can see how others view your problem. You can also gain new ideas or perspective when you
do that. It could be your parents, older brother or sister or relatives, older friends, teachers, or your guidance
counselor.
5) Make a decision. After considering important factors, it is time to make or come up with a decision about
what to do with your problem. If you think that your decision is good and you are satisfied with what you have
decided, then go ahead and do it.
On the other hand, if you are still confused and you think you are not confident with it then go back to step
one until you can decide what is best for you.
Take note that in your daily life, from the time you wake up to the time you lay down to sleep at night, you
are making decisions. Even the easy question like what you will wear or what to eat is a decision to make. We
make choices every day, but in the process of making decisions in our daily routine, it is but natural that we tend
to make bad choices that sometimes lead to some consequences. Thus, decisionmaking skill is essential in our
daily lives.

Now that you know the steps to come up with a sound decision, it is time to put into action what you have
learned.
Today, the world is facing a pandemic. Everyone has been affected and our experiences during this time
may be different from one another, and yet we find ways to look for solutions to solve our problems and make
decisions.
1. Identify a problem that you have experienced during this time of pandemic that you need to address
immediately.
2. With your identified problem during this time of pandemic, FORMULATE YOUR STEPS IN DECISION-
MAKING using the table below as template.
My Steps in Making a Decision
1. What is the problem?
Wala kaming face-to-face classes during the pandemic, so nahirapan akong mag-
aral. Hindi ko fully naiintindihan yung lessons kasi walang teacher na nagtuturo
sa harap ko.
2. What are the choices or options?
Choice 1: I’ll just wait until face-to-face classes are back and hope I can catch
up.
Choice 2: I’ll try to learn through online resources or ask my classmates for help.
Choice 3: I’ll contact my teacher and ask if we can have a video call for
clarification on the lessons.
3. Evaluate and choose an option.
Option 1: Waiting is not a good idea, kasi baka hindi ko agad matutunan yung
mga lessons while I’m waiting.
Option 2: Learning through online resources can help, pero parang kulang parin
kasi wala yung teacher na magtuturo.
Option 3: Having a video call with my teacher sounds great kasi makakapag-ask
ako ng questions directly at mas madali ko matutunan yung lessons.
Choice: I’ll go with Option 3, kasi video call is a more interactive way to learn
and I can clear my doubts agad.
4. I will ask help from…
I will ask my teacher for a video call. Kung hindi siya available, I’ll ask my
parents/siblings to help me understand the lessons.
5. My decision
I’ll choose Option 3 to contact my teachers and ask for more clarification on the
lessons. I need to make sure I understand everything properly.
