PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

LESSON 2

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Is the way people change and grows across their life span. There are many types of development. As a person age, there are bodily changes. As he or she learns problem-solving skills, his/her cognitive development grows. When people grow older, they gain wisdom which allows them to deal with more complex situations- this is a process that is part of emotional development.

PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

PUBERTY Physiological changes involved in the sexual maturation of a child, including other changes that occur in one’s body during this period of time.

CHILDHOOD ADULTHOOD

This period has rapid change- physical, emotional, cognitive and social.

PHYSICAL CHANGES DURING ADOLESCENCE Girls might start to see early physical changes from about 10 to 11 years, but they might start as young as 8 years or as old of 13 years. The physical changes that occur to boys usually start around 11 or 12 years, but they might start as young as 9 years or as old as 14 years.

PHYSICAL CHANGES AROUND PUBERTY INCLUDES: Growth of the penis and testes (testicle) Changes in body shape and height Erections with ejaculation Growth of body and facial hair Changes to voice

OTHER PHYSICAL CHANGES: INSIDE AND OUT BRAIN - Adolescence important time for a child’s brain development. It may affect behavior and social skills. BONES, ORGAN, BODY SYSTEM - Your organs change in size and capacity as well.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT COGNITION - In developmental psychology, it refers to the thought process of a person. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT - It deals with how people’s thoughts develop.

COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT THEORY JEAN PIAGET (1896-1980) outlined specific stages of mental growth in children and adolescence.

The mental representation for object is essential. Children at this age are too curious about things. It is the time in our life when we gain an understanding of the world around us. EGOCENTRISM - think only from one’s own point of view. Child learns how to use symbols such as words and numbers to represent aspects of the world but relates to the world only through his or her perspective. B. PREOPERATIONAL STAGE (2-6 YEARS OLD)

2 SUB-STAGES OF PREOPERATIONAL STAGE: SYMBOLIC FUNCTION (2-4) - It refers to the use of mental representation. The child plays “ make believe .” Example: The girls used to gather around the table pretending to be having tea with friends while holding their invisible teacups. Inanimate objects have human feelings. INTUITIVE THOUGHT (4-6) - Refers to growth of curiosity and basic reasoning. Example: “Daddy, why is the moon following us?”

D. FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE (11-UP) We begin to think in more complex manner. Our thoughts become to more abstract and more detailed. We start considering different ideas and point of view. Example: Can generate predictions. Can think hypothetically. Adolescent or adult thinks abstractly, deals with hypothetical situations, and speculates about what may be possible.

THEORY OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT LAWRENCE KOHLBERG - He is the proponent of Moral Development Theory. MORAL DEVELOPMENT - Refers to the way we distinguish right from wrong as we grow and mature.
