I. TITLE OF THE UNIT: MODULE 3 –


ISSUES ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

II. INTRODUCTION
Each of us has his/her own informal way of looking at our own and other people’s
development.
These paradigms of human development while obviously lacking in scholastic vigor,
provide us with a conceptual framework for understanding ourselves and others.

III. LEARNING OBJECTIVES


In this Module you are challenge to take an informed stand/position on the three
(3) issues on development.

IV. A. Activity

Here are the topics and issues for your personal reflections.

1. Nature versus Nature – which has a more significant influence on human


development? Nature
refers to an individual’s biological inheritance. Nature refers to environmental
experiences.

2. Continuity versus Discontinuity – Does development involve gradual,


cumulative change (continuity) or distinct changes (discontinuity)? To make it more
concrete, here is a question: Is our development like that of a seedling gradually
growing into an acacia tree? Or is it more like that of a caterpillar becoming a
butterfly?

3. Stability versus Change – Is development best described as involving stability


or as involving change? Are we what our first experiences have made of us or do we
develop into someone different from who we were at an earlier point in development?

B. ANALYSIS

After your reflections, answer the questions below:


1. Are there additional reasons you can give in favor of nature/nature? Why?
2. Can you give additional arguments to defend continuity/discontinuity? Are
you in between continuity and discontinuity? Why?
3. Do you think Change is more correct than stability?
C. ABSTRACTION

The key to development is the interaction of nature and nature rather than
either factor alone. Both genes and environment are necessary for a person even to
exist. Without genes, there is no person; without environment, there is no person.
Heredity and environment operate –or cooperate and interact – to produce a person’s
intelligence, temperament, height, weight… ability to read and so on.

D. APPLICATION

1. How can you contribute to the children’s favorable development by creating the
environment conducive to development?

2. Discuss the implications of this statement:


“The frightening part about heredity and environment is that we, parents, provide
both.”

E. SYNTHESIS

Complete the sentence.

1. With regard to the nature-nature, continuity-discontinuity and change-stability


controversies, the wiser stand is

F. EVALUATION: Put a check (/) beside those statements that are correct and
an (x) beside those that are wrong. If your answer is an x, explain why.

1. Heredity exerts a greater influence on human development than environment.


2. What has been experienced in the earlier stages of development can no longer
be changed.
3. From the perspective of life-span develop mentalist, later experience is the key
determinants of a person’s development.

G. REFLECTION

1. Relate what you learned here to your personal development. Reflect on your own
personal development. What has helped you become the person that you are now? Is
what you have become a product of the mere interaction of heredity and environment?
Or is what you have become a product of both heredity and environment interacting
and what you have decided or determined yourself to become? (Self-determination or
freedom is a third factor). Write your reflections.
