Module 1: Human Development: Meaning, Concepts and Approaches

     From this module, I realized that a human development is a pattern of movement that begins at conception and continues through the life span of a well human being. Also it includes growth and decline. The human development can be positive or negative. Growth deals with quantitative changes while development deals with qualitative changes. Development is relatively orderly.  Development has proximodistal pattern that deals with the development from inward to upward. Another pattern is the cephalocaudal pattern which the development is from head to toe and from top to bottom. Development also takes place gradually.  The pattern of development is more likely be similar, the outcome of development process and the rate of development are vary among individuals.  Development as a process is complex because it is the product of biological, cognitive and socio-emotional process. The biological process is a physical change. The cognitive process is about knowledge, thoughts, language. The socio-emotional is a process that focuses on dealing with people. The  human development has five (5)  different approaches. It includes life-long, multi-dimensional, plastic, contextual and involves growth, maintenance and regulation. The life-span of a human development occurs al throughout the life-span of an individual. The development never stops until death. The traditional occurs human development that shows extensive change from birth to adolescence, little or no change in adulthood and decline in the late old age.  The life-long development does not end by adulthood and no development stage dominates the development. The multi-dimensional consists of biological, cognitive and socio-emotional dimensions. The plastic development is possible throughout the life-span. The contextual development are individuals that can adopt changing beings in a changing world. Development and learning result from a dynamic and continuous interaction of biological maturation and experience.
I have developed and broaden my knowledge about the meaning, concepts and approaches of a human development. This module asserts more knowledge on the development of a human.

Module 2: The Stages of Development and Development Tasks

1.Yes, I am able to acquire the developmental tasks expected for the stages of early, middle and late childhood. I have experienced the gang age,where I have played on the streets. Or the age of creativity because in that age, I loved to write. The different development I have experienced was developing acceptable attitude towards society where I am coping up about the right manner to act. I also developed fundamental skills in reading, writing and calculating because in this age I loved to write poems. Developing conscience was also one of the development because I am having the moral of knowing what is right or wrong. Learning physical skills for ordinary games that helped me a lot to win municipal meets such as high jumps, long jumps and track & field (marathon). In this age I want to have freedom of independence to get and have nor achieve everything I want. I am very friendly at these ages because I've learned to get along with my agemates. Boys were the one I am happy to ...

Unit 1: Learner-Centered Psychological Principles

From the module on Learner-Centered Psychological Principles, I realized that a personal development comes with different form depending on how people develop each individual self. This means that every person who's experiencing the process of development has to consider it in the level of complexity because it can be the product of different perception  to our personal development such as  biological, which those traits can be adopted from our parents as well as our to bloodline or cognitive, which can be acquire through the process of self learning or it might be the socio emotional which we aquire through the process of dealing with different kind of person that surrounds us. Unit 1 is a very challenging and breathtaking because of it's teaching about the development of a human from pre-natal period through the life span. From the pre-natal period I realized that from the beginning in a form of sperm and egg cell, human life is not as easy as we've thought. Here, we can ...
