AUTONOMY
What does it mean to be autonomous?
Being autonomous means being free to decide or in one’s
behaviour. Autonomy implies knowing how to make
decisions, to promote greater certainty about life choices. In
this way, problems of indecision are prevented through the
promotion of feelings of control towards one’s future at
school and professionally.
CURIOSITY
What does curiosity mean?
Curiosity is related to knowing how to explore information
about oneself and the reality where the individual builds
his/her life. This demand for information from different
sources requires the questioning, experimentation and use
of multiple means of exploration. Thus, promoting curiosity
facilitates realism about themselves and school and
professional opportunities.
TRUST
What does trust mean?
Trust means believing in personal abilities and skills to solve
problems, perform tasks and overcome challenges. Trust
allows for initiative, persistence and ambition.
