SEMESTER I MODULE 2
Development• Physical• Quantitative, we can
measure it accurately • Simple• Structural Change• Not continuous, stops
when attain maturity
• Psychological• Qualitative & Quantitative
measurement is difficult• Complex• Functional change • Continuous, it
continues till death
Growth and DevelopmentGrowth
Principles of Development1. Principle of continuity
2. Rate of growth and development is not uniform
3. Principle of individual differences
4. Development proceeds from general to specific responses
5. Principle of integration
6. Principle of interrelation
Principles of Development7. Development is predictable
8. Development is spiral and not linear
9. Growth and development is a joint product of both heredity and environment
10. Principle of developmental direction• "cephalic-caudal as well as proximodistal"
Education Implications of the Principles of Development
• We must pay attention to their individual pattern and growth rate while planning the course for their education and development.
• The correct knowledge of the growth trend of a child helps the parents and teacher not to under or overestimate the future competency or expectancy of their child
• knowledge about general pattern of development guides us to locate the degree of abnormality in students and to take likewise remedial steps.
Education Implications of the Principles of Development
• The knowledge of the uniformity of pattern with respect to growth and development makes it possible for the parents and teachers to plan ahead of time for the changes that will take place in their children.
• Both heredity and environment affects growth and development, so teacher can pay sufficient attention over the environmental conditions in the up bring of the children
Approaches to study Development
1. Cross sectional study2. Longitudinal study
Cross-sectional studies• Involve observation of all of a
population, or a sample, at one specific point in time. In which different individuals with same characteristics are compared.
Approaches to study DevelopmentLongitudinal study
• It is a correlational research study that involves repeated observations of the same variables over long periods of time - often many decades.
• It is used to study developmental trends across the life span.
• Longitudinal studies track the same people, so make observing changes more accurate.
Stages of Development 1. Pre- Natal Period (Conception to 280 Days)
2. Infancy (From Birth to 2 Years)
3. Child Hood ( 3 Years to 12 Years)
4. Adolescence ( 13 Years to 19 Years)
5. Adulthood ( 20 Years to 59 Years)
6. Old Age ( 60 Years and Above)
Childhood ( 3 Years to 12 Years) Early Childhood
( 3 to 6) Pre-school Age
Later Childhood(6 to 12)
School Age
Physical Growth and Development
• It is very rapid from birth to the age of two or three years.•Then, it continues at a
diminished rate till the beginning of adolescence.• In the case of internal organs,
it is also grow and develop rapidly
Childhood General Trend of Physical Growth
and Development
Adolescence Physical Changes
Girl
Boy
Adolescence Physical Changes
Boys Girls• Male sexual characteristics • Female sexual characteristics• Broader shoulders • Broader hips.• Broader trunk and Growth of muscles
• Fast growth especially in breast, hips
• Growth of hair in armpits and pubic area and appearance of facial hair
• Growth of hair in armpits, pubic area
• Larges stomach and Heart grows rapidly
Larges stomach andHeart grows rapidly
• Mature sex organs • Mature sex organs

2. Single birth or multiple births.3. The physical as well as mental health of the mother
during pregnancy.5. Normal or abnormal delivery.6. Conditions and care at the time of delivery.7. Lookafter of the baby and its mother.8. Nutrition received by the child after birth.
Factors Affecting Physical Growth and Development
Emotional Growth and
Development
Important Emotions in Child hood
Fear Worry AngerTemper tantrum JealousyAffection Happiness
ChildhoodEmotional Development
• Irrational emotions
• Peer group relationship starts
• school atmosphere influences
• Stability and control during the later childhood
• Period of intensive storm and stress. • Emotional energy is as strong and dangerous• Intense, uncontrolled and irrational
emotions• The sudden functioning of sexual glands and
tremendous increase in physical energy makes them restless.
• Refusing to speak or loudly criticizing• Romance• Worry about future
Adolescence Emotional Development
SocialDevelopment
ChildhoodSocial Development
• Greater degree of social awareness• Begins to adjust with others• Interest in playmates• Peer group influences his
behaviour and attitudes• He tries to seek independence
from his parents and other elders and spends less time with them.
ChildhoodSocial Development
• Find separation among boys and girls• The interests and values of the peer group
often clashes with teachers and parents.• The child is anxious to win the love and
affection of his parents as well as teachers. • At the age of 11 or 12, the child enters the
peek of "gang age“• The gang life develops many good and bad
social qualities in a child.
• Dominated by sexual needs and desires.• Cooperation reaches its peak.• Friendly relationships increases • Social contacts get widened • He feels strongly for the weak and suffers. • Highly critical of social evils and injustice• By the end of this stage, the social behaviour
of the child becomes almost mature
Adolescence Social Development
Cognitive / Intellectual
Development
• Reasoning• Critical and creative thinking• Propositional thinking• Abstract thinking• Combinatorial thinking• Problem solving• Hypothetic deductive thinking
Adolescence
Intellectual Development
"Developmental task is one which arises at a certain period in the life of the individual, successful accomplishment of which leads to his happiness and success with later tasks, while failure leads to unhappiness and difficulty with later tasks.“
Robert Havinghurst , 1972
Developmental Tasks
Theories of Development
& Their Educational
Implications
• According to Piaget cognitive development is the output of interaction between the individual and his environment
Theory of Cognitive Development Jean Piaget
1. Sensory Motor Stage (Birth to 2 years)
2. Pre-operational Stage ( 2 To 7 Years)
3. Concrete Operational Stage (7 to 11 years)
4. Formal Operational Stage (11 to adult)
1. Enactive Representation
2. Iconic Representation
3. Symbolic Representation
Theory of Cognitive Development Bruner
Level 1 Pre conventional Morality (4 to 10 years)Stage 1 Obedience and punishment Obeying the rules to avoid punishments Stage 2 Individualism and Exchange Obeying rules to satisfy their individual needs
Level 2 Conventional Morality (10 to 13 years)Stage 3 Inter personal relation ships Exhibit morality for conformity, the peer
acceptance is the base of morality They like good boy – good girl acceptance
Theory of Moral Development Kohlberg
Stage 4 Maintaining social order When making judgments they consider society as whole He decides rights and wrong according to the social laws
Level 3 Post conventional Morality (above 13 years)Stage 5 Social contract and individual rights Rational thinking begins, he accepts social values,
opinions and beliefs of other people They worth rules of law and order Stage 6 Universal principles Moral reasoning is based upon universal ethical
principles and abstract reasoning High level of morality
Theory of Moral Development Kohlberg
1. Learning basic trust Vs Basic Mistrust (0 to 2)
2. Learning autonomy Vs Basic Shame (2 to 4)
3. Learning initiative Vs Basic Guilt (4 to 6)
5. Industry Vs Basic Inferiority (6 to 12)
6. Learning Identity Vs Basic Identity Diffusion(13 to 19)
7. Learning Intimacy Vs Isolation (early adulthood)
7. Learning Generativity Vs self Absorption (adulthood)
8. Integrity Vs Despair (Later Adulthood)
Theory of Psycho- Social DevelopmentEric Erickson

• Loneliness and isolation• Change in family structure• Information overload• Sexual abuse• Substance abuse• Depression and suicide• Infatuation• Disobedience• Identity crisis • Impact of media (internet, mobile, cinema, TV etc)
Recent issues and problems of Adolescence
• Strain and Stress• Despair and Depression • Intense, uncontrolled and irrational
emotions • Identity crisis • Romance• Worry about future• Irresponsibility (Neglecting studies
for winning social approval• Excessive day dreaming
