HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Question:
 In your own understanding, what is human development?
 What do you think is our topic for today?

Activity Small Group Debate

( 10 minutes)
The class will be divided into small 2 groups.They will use their own understanding about the
certain issue. Here are the topics and issues:

1. Nature vs. Nurture- Which has a more significant influence on human development?
Nature or nurture?

2. Continuity vs. Discontinuity- Does development involve gradual change or distinct changes
?

After a small group presentation to the whole class, the teacher facilitates the whole class
discussion and asks the following:

1. Who are pro-nature? Pro-nurture? Are there additional reasons you can give in favor of
Analysis nature / nurture ? Who are neither for nature or nature ?Why?
( 3 minutes)
2. Who believe that development is continuity ? Discontinuity? Can you give additional
between continuity and discontinuity? Why?

3. Who claims stability is more correct than change ? Change is more correct than stability?

Abstraction
( 15 minutes) 1. Nature vs. Nurture

Nature proposed that important aspects of development are programmed by the genes e.g
hair color, eye color, height, and etc. Whereas, nurture believed that development is
significantly influenced by the environment e.g culture, behavior, accent, diseases, and etc.

2. Continuity Vs. Discontinuity

Continuity Development - is a result of continuous quantitative changes. Development is a

gradual increase in capacity as when children get older, the types of things they do, do not
differ greatly but they are only able to do things more skillfully.

Example: A child learns to crawl, and then to stand, and then to walk.

Discontinuity Development - in which each stage in life is seen as qualitatively different

from the ones that come before and after. Development occurs in stages and in each stage
children display behaviors that are different from the ones that come before and after.

Continuity theorists asserted that as children get older,the types of things they do, do not
differ greatly but they are only able to do things more skillful while discontinuity theorists
believed the change from one style of behaving or thinking to another is relatively abrupt

3. Quantitative and Qualitative

Quantitative - refers to the changes that children will go through as they gain knowledge and
grow larger physically.

Example: Children grow taller,utter more words, increase in vocabulary, acquire more
information.

Qualitative - changes on how the child thinks and behaves. It is how they perceive the world
as they grow older.

4. Universal vs Individual

Universal - are changes that are shared by all individuals

Individual - are changes which are different from each other

5. Stability vs. Plasticity

Stability proposed that there are aspects of development that remain constant despite
changes in the environment. Contrastingly, plasticity believes that there are aspects of
development that can be modified through experience.
 6. Active vs. Passive

Active- believed that children actively influence their own development. It corresponds to

Rousseau’s view that development is a natural unfolding that takes place within the child.
He viewed children as noble savages, naturally endowed with a sense of right and wrong and
with innate plan for orderly, healthy growth.

Passive- suggested that children are simply at the mercy of their environment. This view
corresponds to Locke’s description of the child as a “blank slate” on which experience writes.

Human Development Spectrum

Game Mechanics:
 (With the same group in the previous activity, the teacher will put a line (tape) on the
floor that indicates the center/middle.
 Students will fall in line in the middle along with the tape.
Application  The teacher will read out a short scenario that relates to one of the theories then,
( 5 minutes) students will move/jump to one side of the room (right or left) that they believe the
scenario represents.
 Then, the teacher will reveal the answer before proceeding to the next item/scenario.
 Every group will be given five (5) items to answer.
 The group with the most number of correct answers will be the winner.

Instruction: Read each the statements carefully and identify which is referred to in the
following situations.

1. Children’s language skills may be stimulated by their parents and caregivers. (Nature,
Nurture)

2. Children are able to acquire language rapidly because you are genetically predisposed to
do so.(Nature, Nurture)

3. A 1 year old can already utter 5 words. (Qualitative, Quantitative)

4. Children at 15 to 18 months of age can already put two short words together to form
sentences. (Qualitative, Quantitative)

5. When you were yet a baby, your perception of a piano melody, your memory for past
events, and your ability to sort objects into categories, may have been much like your
parents. Perhaps your only limitation was that you could perform these skills with us much
Assessment information and recession as your parents can. (Continuity, Discontinuity)
( 6 minutes)
6. You could not yet perceive, remember, and organize experiences as a mature person can.
Rather, You moved through a series of developmental steps, each of which has unique
features,until you reached the highest level of functioning. (Continuity, Discontinuity)

7. Children follow the same stages of language development. (Universal, Individual)

8.There are children who are good at dancing, painting and riding bicycles. (Universal,
Individual)

9.The way you were brought up by your parents will also influence the way you will brought
up your own children in the future. (Active, Passive)

10. Even if you hang out with your friends with different attitudes you know which should
and not to be imitated or followed. (Active, Passive)
