3. Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. discuss how sound decision-making can contribute
to success or achievement;
2. demonstrate ways on how to make sound decisions
in the given situations; and
3. value sound decision-making based on the different
factors.

4. Introduction
In this module you will learn the factors in effective
decision-making, the core values and self-efficacy being
integrated as a whole. Decision-making plays a vital role
in the life of learners like you. It diverts you from falling
into the trap that you may regret later. It can both save
you and your career interest. The ability to distinguish
between choice and needs creates a great impact in your
life

5. Keep in Mind
Decisiveness is displayed by firmness and decision. It
means that you have the ability to decide, and from the
strength of a decision you then have the needed skills to
carry out that decision and act on it.

6. Here are some of the practices of a decisive person:
Collect relevant information. Get as much information as possible.
It is about exploring and discovering all the available
options. Read, talk to seniors and trusted persons, and visit
credible websites to get valid and reliable information. The
first step will give you a good head start and will guide you
through arriving at a less risky but rather sound decision

7. Write down pros and cons. Make columns and list
down the doable including its positive and
negative effects.

8. Imagine yourself sooner or later dealing on with the outcome of your
decisions. Think about what you’re doing and how
you’re feeling. Does it make you happy and fulfilled?
Or does it make you regretful and feeling a little
empty? Of course, you must go with the positive
outcome.

9. Weigh in past decisions. Maybe you have read or heard about the
saying that “those who don’t understand history are
doomed to repeat it.” This is the exact reason why you
should reflect and find out the things that you should have
considered and should not have considered. Through
pondering on past decisions, you will be able to draw out
effects that turned out well and those that did not turn out
very well.

10. Be Ready and Brace Yourself. It’s good to be always prepped up
with the choices you’ll be faced with in your life; and get
ready to bout with upcoming challenges. Foresight is one
skill that’s useful and experiences you had in the past will
also gear you up

11. Remember: Making good choices begins with
taking charge of the decision-making process.
There’s never a short-cut to achieving finer things in
life.
