Module 2 - The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles

This document is a module on basic concepts and issues in human development prepared by instructor Markhill Veran Tiosan. It discusses key principles of human development including that development occurs in biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional domains and progresses in relatively orderly patterns from birth through adulthood. Major concepts covered include the principles that development varies between individuals, occurs gradually through interactions with the environment, and can be understood through traditional, life-span, and multidimensional approaches.

BASIC CONCEPTS AND ISSUES ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT


1|Page Markhill Veran Tiosan, LPT
Reasons on studying human development are to gain an understanding of
your own life experience, help others understand what they're going through,
understand the relationship of society and individual growth, lead more effectively,
and support the physical and mental health of others. The process of development
involves beginnings and endings. We will be acquainted with human development as
a process, the developmental tasks that come along with each developmental stage
and relevant issues that are raised about human development.

Objectives

 Identify the different Basic Concepts and Issues on Human Development


 Apply the Basic Concepts and Issues on Human Development in real life
situation.
 Explain the importance of knowing what are the Concepts and Issues on
Human Development

Discussion

READ
Understanding human development can help you better understand your own
life experiences and life course. It can foster enhanced self-understanding and
personal growth. Beneficial societal change is possible and individuals and groups
can change social institutions and policies for the better. Human development refers
to the biological and psychological development of the human being throughout the
lifespan. It consists of the development from infancy, childhood, and adolescence to
adulthood. The scientific study of psychological human development is sometimes
known as Developmental psychology.
Human Development
Human Development is the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception
and continues through the life-span. It includes growth and Decline Development can be
positive or negative. (Sanrock, 2002).
Some Major Principles of Human Development

 Principle 1 - Development is relatively orderly


Proximodistal Pattern - the Muscular Growth of the trunk and the arms earlier as compared
to the hands and fingers.
Cephalocaudal Pattern - During infancy, the greatest growth always occurs at the top-the
head -with physical growth in size, weight, and future differentiation gradually working its
way down from top to bottom.

 Principle 2 - While the pattern of development is likely to be similar, the outcome of


the developmental process and the rate of development are likely to vary among
individuals

 Principle 3 - Development takes place gradually
 Principle 4 - Development as a process is complex because it is the product of
biological, cognitive, socio-emotional process. (Sanrock, 2002).
Biological - Involves changes in the individual's physical nature
Cognitive - Involves changes in the individual's though, intelligence, and language.
Socio-Emotional - Includes changes in the individual's relationship with others people,
changes in emotional and changes in personality.
Approaches to human development
Traditional - Human development shows the extensive change from birth to adolescence,
little or no change in adulthood, and decline in the late old stage.
Life-span - Human development occurs throughout the llifespan of an individual.
Characteristic of the life-span Development
Lifelong - it does not end by adulthood and no development stage dominates the
development.
Multidimensional Development - consists of biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional
dimensions.
Plastic - Development is possible throughout the life span.
Contextual - Individuals are changing being in a changing world.
Growth, maintenance, and regulation - These are considered goals in that varies in every
developmental change.
Principles of Child Development and Learning that Inform Practice

 All the domains of development and Learning (physical, social, emotional and
cognitive) are important and closely-related.
 Many aspects of children's learning and development follow well documented
sequences, with later abilities, skills and knowledge building on those already
acquired.
 Development and Learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as at
uneven areas across different areas of a child's individual functioning.
 Early experiences have profound effects (Cumulative and delayed) on a childs
development and Learning; and optimal periods exist for certain types of
development and Learning to occur.
 Development and Learning result from a dynamic and continuous interaction and
biological maturation and experience.
 Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, and symbolic or
representational capacities.
 Children develop best when they have secure, consistent relationship with
responsive adults and opportunities for positive relationship with peers.
 Development and Learning occur in and are influenced by multiple social and cultural
contexts.
 Always mentally active in seeking to understand the world around them, children
learn in a variety of ways: a wide range of teaching strategies and interactions are
effective in supporting all these kinds and Learning.

 Play in an important vehicle for developing self-regulation as well as promoting
language, cognition, and social competence.
 Development and Learning advance when children are challenge to achieve at a
level just beyond their current mastery, and also when they have many opportunities
to practice, newly acquired skills.
 Children's experience shape their motivation and approaches to learning such as
persistence, initiative and flexibility; in turn, these dispositions and behaviors affect
their learning and development
