    Chapter 1 - Human Development

    Uploaded by

    Erica
    This document defines human development as the pattern of change from conception through the lifespan, including growth and decline. It discusses major principles like development proceeding from the center of the body outward and from the head downward. Two approaches to development are described: the traditional view that development is mainly in childhood and the lifespan approach where development continues throughout life in biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional dimensions through growth, maintenance, and regulation. Principles of child development that inform practice are also outlined, such as development resulting from maturation and experience and early experiences shaping development.

    MODULE CHILD ADOLESCENT AND DEVELOPMENT

    CHAPTER 1: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

    Objectives:
    a.) Define meaning, concepts and approaches on human development.
    b.) Recognize the issues on human development.

    Chapter 1: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT


    Meaning, Concepts and Approaches

    Human Development
     the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and continues
    through the life span
     includes growth and decline
     can be positive or negative

    Major Principles of Human Development:


    1. Development is relatively orderly
    a.) Proximodistal Pattern
    Development proceeds from the center of the body outward.

    b.) Cephalocaudal Pattern


    Development proceeds from the head downward.

    2. While the pattern of development is likely to be similar, the outcomes of


    developmental processes and rate of development are likely to vary among individuals.

    3. Development takes place gradually.

    4. Development as a process is complex because it is the product of biological,


    cognitive and socio- emotional processes.

    Approaches to Human Development


    1.) Traditional Perspective
    • Believes that individuals will show extensive change from birth to adolescence,
    little or no change in adulthood and decline in late old age
    2.) Life-span Approach
    • Believes that even in adulthood, developmental change takes place as it does
    during childhood.
    Characteristics of a Life- Span Perspective
    a.) Development is LIFELONG- It does not end in adulthood. No developmental stage
    dominates development.
    b.) Development is MULTIDIMENSIONAL- Development consists of biological, cognitive
    and socio-emotional dimensions.
    c.) Development is PLASTIC- Development is possible throughout the lifespan.
    d.) Development is CONTEXTUAL- Individuals are changing beings in a changing world.
    e.) Development involves GROWTH, MAINTENANCE and REGULATION- Growth,
    maintenance and regulation are 3 goals of human development. The goals of individuals
    vary among developmental stages.

    Principles of Child Development and Learning that Inform Practice


     All areas of development and learning are important.
     Learning and development follow sequences.
     Development and learning proceed at varying rates
     Development and learning result from an interaction of maturation and experience.
     Early experiences have profound effects on development and learning.
     Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self- regulation, and symbolic or
    representational capacities.
     Children develop best when they have secure relationships.
     Development and learning occur in and are influenced by multiple social and cultural
    contexts.
     Children learn in a variety of ways.
     Play is an important vehicle for developing self-regulation and promoting language,
    cognition, and social competence.
     Development and learning advance when children are challenged.
     Children’s experiences shape their motivation and approaches to learning.
