Say something about the picture? Can you relate this to human life?
TO ENGAGE
Here are pictures of John and Mary. Each one is a bundle of possibilities. Describe what they were
before birth (their point of origin) and who they will possibly be after birth unto adulthood. What will
they possibly become? Expound your answers.
TO EXPLORE
John
Mary
After giving your predictions, answer the following questions:
1. When you gave your own predictions as to the kind of child, adolescent and adult John and Mary
become and hypothesized on who they were once were, you were referring to human
development. What then is development?
2. Will there be anything common in the pattern of development of John and Mary? If yes, what?
3. Will there be differences in their development, e.g. pace or rate of development? What and why?
4. Will the process of development take place very fast or gradually? Expound your answer.
5. Do you believe that John and Mary will continue to develop even in adulthood? Or will they stop
developing in adulthood?
Meaning of Human Development

 Human development is the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and
continues through the life span. Development includes growth and decline. This means that
development can be positive or negative (Santrock, 2002).
TO EXPLAIN Some Major Principles of Human Development

1. Development is relatively orderly.
 Juan and Maria will learn to sit, crawl then walk before they can run. The muscular
control of the trunk and the arms comes earlier as compared to the hands and fingers.
This is the proximodistal 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 (for example, neck, shoulders, middle
trunk, and so on). This is the cephalo – caudal pattern.
2. While the pattern of development is likely to be similar, the outcomes of the

developmental processes and the rate of development are likely to vary among
individuals.
 Heredity and environment are different for different people. It seems obvious that
individuals will encounter factors that will make them different from other individuals. As
a result, we can expect individual differences in developmental characteristics and
variation in the ages when people will experience events that will influence their
development.
3. Development takes place gradually.
 While some developmental changes occur in a flash of insight, more often it takes
weeks, months, or years for a person to undergo changes that result in the display of
developmental characteristics.
4. Development as a process is complex because it is the product of biological, cognitive,
and socio-emotional processes (Santrock, 2002).
 Biological processes involve changes in the individual’s physical nature. Cognitive
processes involve changes in the individual’s thought, intelligence, and language. Socio-
emotional processes include changes in the individual’s relationships with other people,
changes in emotions, and changes in personality.
Two Approaches to Human Development
1. Traditional
 Extensive changes occur from birth to adolescence, little or no change in adulthood and
decline in the late old age.
2. Life - span
 Even in adulthood, developmental changes take place as it does during childhood.
Characteristics of Life – Span Perspective (Santrock, 2002)
1. Development is lifelong.
 It does not end in adulthood. No developmental stage dominates development.
2. Development is multidimensional.
 Development consists of biological, cognitive, and socio – emotional dimensions.
3. Development is plastic.
 Development is possible throughout the life – span.
4. Development is contextual.
 Individuals are changing beings in a changing world.
5. Development involves growth, maintenance and regulation.

 As individuals reach middle and late adulthood, concern with growth gets into the back
stage while maintenance and regulation take the center stage.
Principles of child development and learning that inform practice

(National Association for the Education of Young Children, 2009)
1. All the domains of development and learning – physical, social, and emotional, and cognitive –
are important. They are closely interrelated.
2. Many aspects of children’s learning and development follow well documented sequences, with
later abilities, skills, and knowledge building on those already acquired.
3. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as at uneven rates
across different areas of a child’s individual functioning.
4. Development and learning result from a dynamic and continuous interaction of biological
maturation and experience.
5. Early experiences have profound effects, both cumulative and delayed, on a child’s development
and learning; and optimal periods exist for certain types of development and learning to occur.
6. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self – regulation, and symbolic or
representational capacities.
7. Children develop best when they have a secure, consistent relationships with responsive adults
and opportunities for positive relationships with peers.
8. Development and learning occur in and are influenced by multiple social and cultural contexts.
9. 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 of learning.
10. Play is an important vehicle of developing self – regulation as well as for promoting language,
cognition, and social competence.
11. Development and learning advance when children are challenged to achieve at a level just
beyond their current mastery, and also when they have many opportunities to practice newly
acquired skills.
12. Children’s experiences shape their motivation and approaches to learning, such as persistence,
initiative, and flexibility; in turn, these dispositions and behaviors affects their learning and
development.
