Who Decides?

Worksheet Description

The “Who Decides?” Decision Making worksheet is a thought-provoking tool that helps students reflect on the various aspects of decision-making in their personal lives. It is divided into three sections, prompting students to list decisions they make alone, decisions made collaboratively with others, and decisions made for them by others. This layout is designed to foster self-awareness about the degree of control and influence they have over different situations and the role that autonomy and collaboration play in their daily choices.

The first section, “Decisions I Make Alone,” encourages independence and self-reliance, allowing students to recognize their capacity for personal choice and responsibility. The second section, “Decisions I Make With Others,” highlights the importance of teamwork, compromise, and the consideration of different viewpoints. The final section, “Decisions Others Make For Me,” opens up a dialogue about authority, trust, and acceptance in situations where students might have less direct control. Engaging with this worksheet, students learn to identify and appreciate the dynamics of decision-making processes and understand the value of both independent and cooperative decision-making strategies.
