1understanding Growth Development and Maturation

This document discusses key concepts in psychological foundations of education including growth, development, and maturation. It defines growth as the progressive increase from birth to maturity, development as the gradual unfolding of characteristics through successive stages involving increasing complexity, and maturation as the internal ripening aspect when growth reaches optimal levels. The main difference between growth and development outlined is that growth is quantitative and ends at maturity, while development is qualitative and continuous throughout life, depending on maturation and learning.
