5) Adding value by creating sustainability within individuals &        Communities.     

 

The program is designed to facilitate the following development within students: cognitive (fact acquisition), physical (technical skill development/fitness), and affective (emotional or social development).  Affective learning can be classified as two interactive products; development of individuals through improved intrapersonal relationships (emotional development),

and development of groups through enhanced interpersonal relationships (social development).  The outcome is to have students who understand themselves more fully and are able to relate to others more effectively.

The following are some of the many affective outcomes expected from the program.  Intrapersonal: Emotional and Individual – new confidence in oneself, increased willingness to take risks, improved self concept, enhanced leadership, increased logical reasoning and greater reflective thinking.  Interpersonal: Social and Group – enhanced co operation, more effective communication skills, greater trust in others, increased sharing of decision-making, new ways to resolve conflict, improved problem solving, and enhanced leadership skill.
