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 learn that the process of germinal period takes several days to form the embryo. Furthermore, Embryonic period is also a crucial stage for a person because in this stage different kind of hazardous things which can affect the development of a fetus. The stages of early, middle and late childhood was a very challenging stage for every individual because this is the stage where the child is going to build himself. At this stages, heredity and environment has a big factor on building an individual. Heredity creates a big factor to every individuals development because it the product of maturation that includes the genes that we acquired from our parents as well as the bloodline that runs through our veins. This means that, heredity cannot be excluded in every topic that focus about personal development of a human. On the other side, environment has also a big contributor to every person's development because as a developing human being we cannot exclude that in our everyday lives we are dealing with different kinds of person in our environment that creates a big impact to enhance our cognitive, psychological and socio cultural capability as a person.

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 knowle...

Socio-cultural Theory (Skill (s) I learned)

When I was in Grade 7, I wanted to learn playing instruments, especially the guitar. This skill caught my attention because I think it is cool to play and have the guitar in your hands. Being a singer at a very young age added more urge to this attention. On those days, I think everyone will like and praise me if I had a talent of playing a guitar. Another reason why I want to learn this skill is because my father also plays a guitar very well. Different sounds were produced when he starts to strum the guitar strings. There are also different kind of techniques used to play a guitar and one of this is the fingerstyle which is eventually one of the hardest style to play a guitar. In this very young age, my father assisted me simply by teaching me the basic chords ( D, A, Em, G). At first, it is very hard for me to reach the strings and my hands can feel the pain.
