Quarter 1 – Module 1:
The Superhero ME

Gabay sa Magulang/Tagapag-alaga

Nagdulot ng napakaraming pagbabago sa pamumuhay ng bawat Pilipino ang

pandemyang nararanasan ng buong mundo. Sa gitna nito, ang Department of Education ay
kaisa ng inyong tahanan upang maipagpatuloy ang edukasyon ng lahat ng mag-aaral sa
buong Pilipinas. Dalawa sa mga pamamaraang ito ang paghahanda ng Leaning Continuity
Plan at ng Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs).
Sa taong ito, inihanda ang Homeroom Guidance During Crisis MELCs na
naglalayong matulungan ang inyong mga anak upang maipagpatuloy ang pagkatuto sa
kabila ng mga pagbabagong dulot ng pandemya. Ang Homeroom Guidance (HG) ay
naglalayong maituro ang mga kasanayan sa buhay o life skills sa pamamagitan ng self-
directed learning modules. Nakatuon ito sa tatlong mahahahalagang domeyn, ang
academic, personal-social at career development. Binigyang-pokus sa Homeroom
Guidance MELCs ang mga gawaing makatutulong sa lahat ng mga mag-aaral na
magkaroon ng Rasyunal na Pag-iisip (Rational Thinking), Malusog/Maayos na Pag-uugali
(Healthy Behavior) at Positibong Disposisyon (Positive Disposition) na higit na kailangan
sa panahong ito.
Malaki ang gampanin ng mga magulang upang mapagtagumpayan ang mga
gawaing nakalatag dito. Kakailanganin ng mag-aaral ang inyong patnubay at gabay sa
modyul na ito. Kung kaya, hinihingi ng Kagawaran ang inyong suporta upang
mapagtagumpayan ng mag-aaral ang mga hamon sa buhay, maisakatuparan ang mga
inaasahang gawain at higit sa lahat, matutuhan ang mga kasanayan sa buhay na kailangan
nilang taglayin sa yugtong ito.
Ito ay naglalayong paunlarin ang mga gawi at pamamaraan sa pag-aaral. Lubhang
mahalaga ang modyul na ito lalo sa panahon ngayon ng pandemya kung saan gagamit ng
alternatibong pamamaraan sa pagkatuto ang mga kabataan nang hindi nangangailangan ng
pisikal na presensya sa paaralan. Mahalagang patatagin ang magagandang gawi ng mag-
aaral gayundin ang mga isinasagawa niyang pamamaraan sa pag-aaral. Inaanyayahan po
ang mga miyembro ng pamilya na makilahok sa mga gawain sa modyul na ito na
nangangailangan ng inyong partisipasyon tulad na lamang ng mga naoobserbahan
ninyong gawi mag-aaral. Hikayatin ang ibang mga anak na makilahok sa gawaing
nabanggit. Mangyaring tulungan ang mag-aaral upang maisagawa ang mga itinakdang
gawain para sa modyul na ito. Siguraduhing may magagamit siyang kagamitan. Isa
rin itong magandang pagkakataon upang magkaroon ng interaksyion ang mga miyembro
ng pamilya. Ang inyong suporta at paggabay ay napakalaking bagay. Tiyakin na
sasagutin ng mag-aaral ang bawat bahagi ng modyul at siguraduhing maipapasa sa gurong-
tagapayo ang natapos na mga gawain.

Keep in Mind
SELF WORTH vs. SELF-ESTEEM: LET’s CLARIFY!

Self-worth and self-esteem are two different things, despite the fact that they
are used at interchangeably. Self-esteem is concerned more on your confidence and
healthy admiration of yourself, while self-worth is how you value yourself—an inner
sense of value. It is you who can determine how outside factors influence your self-
worth. These factors are actions or reactions and judgments of other people.
Researches say that an individual who validates his/her self-worth from external
factors may more likely have low self-worth. However, individuals who consider
their internal aspects tend to develop a healthy inner sense of value.
How to Improve your Self-worth
 Stop comparing yourself to others. Evaluating yourself based on standards
of other people may lead you to self-destruction or may develop maladaptive
behavior.

 Challenge the critical inner self. Find effort to see who you really are. Listen to
your inner voice. Start understanding and appreciating your own feelings,
thoughts, desires and values. If you will challenge your critical inner voice and
stop comparing yourself to others, you can begin to get a feeling for your own
self-worth.

8
How to Improve and Raise Your Self-esteem

 Be with people who treat you well. Some people act in ways that tear you
down. Others lift you up by what they say and do. Learn to tell the difference.
Choose friends who help you feel OK about yourself. Find people that you can
be yourself with. Be that type of friend to others.
 Set goals and work toward them. If you want to feel good about yourself, do
things that are good for you. Maybe you want to eat a healthier diet, get more
fit, or study better. Make a goal. Then make a plan on how to do it. Stick with
your plan. Track your progress. Be proud of what you've done so far. Say to
yourself, "I've been following my plan to work out every day for 45 minutes. I
feel good about it. I know I can keep it up."
 Give and help. Giving is one the best ways to build self-esteem. Tutor a
classmate, help clean up your neighborhood, help in a donation drive
campaign. Help out at home. Make it a habit to be kind and fair. Do things that
make you proud of the kind of person you are. When you do things that make
a difference (even a small one) your self-esteem will grow.
