which persons reflect upon themselves, understand who
they are, accept what they discover about themselves,
and learn new set of values, attitudes, behavior, and
thinking skills to reach their fullest potential as a
human beings.
 What could be the three Aspects or domains of
Human development?

1. Physical Development – Which covers the growth of

the body and the brain, motor and sensory skills, and
even physical health;
2. Cognitive Development – Which covers our capacity
to learn, to speak, to understand, to reason, and to
create;
3. Psychosocial Development – Which includes our
social interactions with other people, our emotions,
attitudes, self-identity, personality, beliefs and values.
 What are the three influencing category on
Human Development?

• Heredity or the inborn traits passed on by the

generations of offspring's from both sides of the
biological parent’s families;

• Environment is the world outside of ourselves and

the experiences that result from our contact and
interaction with this external world;
• Maturation is the natural progression of the
brain and the body that affects the cognitive
(thinking and intelligence), psychological
(emotions, attitude, and self-identity), and
social (relationships) dimension of a person.
Self-Concept
Your ideal self is the self that you
aspire to be. It is the one that you
hope will possess characteristics
similar to that of a mentor figure.
Your actual self, however, is the one
that you actually see. It is the self
that has characteristics that you are
nurtured or, in some cases, born to
have. It is built on self-knowledge
 Self-Concept
refers to your awareness of yourself. It is
the construct that negotiates these two
selves. It connotes first the identification of
the ideal self as separate from others and
second, it encompasses all the behaviors
evaluated in the actual self that you engage
in to reach the ideal self.
Self-knowledge
Is derived from social interaction that
provide insight into how others react to you.
ACTUAL SELF – is who we actually are,
how we feel, look and think. It is our self-
image.
 Social Roles
The negotiation that exist between
actual self and ideal self are
exemplified in social roles that are
adjusted and re-adjusted. Are derived
from outcomes of social interactions
from infant to adult development.
 PERSONAL
EFFECTIVENESS
 Personal Effectiveness means
making use of all the personal
resources – talent, skills, energy and
time, to enable you to achieve life
goals.

be identified and then
develop to be used in a
particular subject area
(science, literature,
sports and politics
EXPERIENCE includes
knowledge and skills
that we acquire in the
process of cognitive and
practical activities

required for setting
goals, defining an action
plan to achieve them
and risk assessment.
SKILLS also determine
whether real action are
performed in
accordance with the
plan. If the same
ability is used many
times in the same
situation, then it
becomes the habit that
runs automatically,
subconsciously.
