PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

AND APPLIED ETHICS


COURSE DESCRIPTION
The aim of professional development and applied ethics is to
help students manage their own learning and growth in their
chosen fields. It is important that students continue to learn
and develop to keep their skills and knowledge up to date and
ensure that they continue to work safely, legally and
effectively.

Development pertains to the process that creates growth,


progress, and positive change of a person. The course
discusses the content and principles of ethical behavior in
modern society at the level of individual, society, and in
interaction with the environment and other shared resources.
The course also teaches students to make moral decisions by
using dominant moral frameworks and by applying a seven-
step moral reasoning model to analyze and solve moral
dilemmas.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and
knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your


workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter


seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the
womb.

You saw me before I was born.


Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had
passed.

PSALM 139:13-16
UNIT 1

KNOWING SELF
THREE COMPONENTS OF SELF CONCEPT
Self-image is the way we see ourselves. Self-
image includes what we know about ourselves
physically (e.g. brown hair, blue eyes, tall), our social
roles (e.g. wife, brother, gardener), and our
personality traits (e.g. outgoing, serious, kind).

SELF IMAGE
Self-worth is the value we place upon ourselves.
Individual levels of self-worth are dependent on the
way we evaluate ourselves. Those evaluations
incorporate our personal comparisons to others as
well as others’ responses to us.

SELF WORTH
The ideal self is the self we would like to be. There’s
often a difference between one’s self-image and
one's ideal self. This incongruity can negatively
impact one’s self-esteem.

UNIT 2

ADOLESENCE
WHAT IS ADOLESENCE?

Adolescence can be a time of both


disorientation and discovery. The transitional
period can raise questions of independence
and identity; as adolescents cultivate their
sense of self, they may face difficult choices
about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender
identity, drugs, and alcohol.
UNIT 3
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES IN
MIDDLE AND LATE ADOLESENCE
MIDDLE ADOLESCENCE
 Physical changes from puberty continue during middle
adolescence.
 At this age, many teens become interested in romantic and
sexual relationships
 Many middle adolescents have more arguments with their
parents as they struggle for more independence.
 The brain continues to change and mature in this stage, but
there are still many differences in how a normal middle
adolescent thinks compared to an adult.
LATE ADOLESCENCE

 Late adolescents generally have completed


physical development and grown to their full
adult height. They usually have more impulse
control by now and may be better able to
gauge risks and rewards accurately.
UNIT 4

your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you
grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”
