Major principles will also be part of this module so that your ideas on human development will further be enhanced. After the content discussion, you are given exercises to work on. Towards the end of this module, you are tasked to give your own reflections. All these activities will deepen and strengthen your understanding about the lesson presented. Do the task honestly coupled with high interest so that you can benefit the most of it.
Cite situations where the two approaches are evident
- Define and explain the meaning, concepts and approaches on human development.
- Differentiate traditional and life-span approach of development What is human development? It is the pattern of movement or change that begins at conception and continues through the life span. It includes growth and decline. Two Approaches to Human Development

As you journey on this lesson, you are expected to:
Are you ready for today’s lesson? This time, you are tasked to read the texts below and be able to comprehend it well.
- Development as a process is complex because it is the product of biological, cognitive and socio-emotional processes. Biological processes involve changes in the individual’s physical nature. Cognitive processes involve changes in the individual’s thought, intelligence and language. Socio-emotional processes include changes in the individual’s relationships with other people, changes in emotions and changes in personality. These biological, cognitive and socio-emotional processes are inextricably intertwined. Principles of Child Development and Learning (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 2009)
- All domains of development and learning – physical, social and emotional, and cognitive – are important, and they are closely interrelated. Children’s development and learning in one domain influence and are influenced by what takes place in other domains.
- Many aspects of children’s learning and development follow well documented sequences, with later abilities, skills and knowledge building on those already acquired.
- Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as at uneven rates across different areas of a child’s individual functioning.
- Development and learning result from a dynamic and continuous interaction of biological maturation and experience.
- Early experiences have profound effects, both cumulative and delayed, on a child’s development and learning; and optional periods exist for certain types of development and learning to occur.
- Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self- regulation, and symbolic or representational capacities.
- Children develop best when they have secure, consistent relationships with responsive adults and opportunities for positive relationships with peers.
- Development and learning occur in and are influenced by multiple social and cultural contexts.
- Always mentally active in seeking to understand the world around them, children learn in a variety of way; a wide range of teaching strategies and interactions are effective in supporting all these kinds of learning.
- Play is an important vehicle for developing self-regulation as well as for promoting language, cognition, and social competence.
- Development and learning advance when children are challenged to achieve at a level just beyond their current mastery, and also when they have many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
- Children’s experiences shape their motivation and approaches to learning, such as persistence, initiative and flexibility; in turn, these dispositions and behaviors affect their learning and development.
