BECED1 THE CHILD AND ADOLESCENT LEARNER

Part I.

Enumerate and explain the principles of human development. (5 points each)

1. Development is Continuous- continuous process that is gradual and

cumulative. For example, a child learns to crawl, and then to stand and then to
walk. They are gradually learning how to walk. It's just like hiking up the mountain
path: a slow, steady ascent that leads to the top.

2. Development is Gradual- Continuous development sees our development as a

cumulative process: Changes are gradual. On the other hand, discontinuous
development sees our development as taking place in specific steps or stages:
Changes are sudden

3. Development is Sequential- Sequence of development and rate of development

differ from one another and its important to understand the differences in
regards to child's development. The reason behind this is that the sequence and
rate of development are different for each individual and differentiating between
children helps to identify the child's personal needs during the stages of their
school years. It is crucial to effectively plan to ensure the child receives the
support they need in the areas they find most difficult.

4 Rate of Development Varies Person to Person-Rate of development is not

uniform. Individuals differ in the rate of growth and development. Boys and girls
have different development rates.

Part II. What makes you who you are? Cite one of the issues of human
development and explain by providing examples based on your own experience.

Early Experience vs. Later Experience

early experiences versus those that occur later in life. Are we more affected by
events that occur in early childhood, or do later events play an equally important
role?

Part III. Among the stages of human development, choose one and describe the
psychological conflict of such stage. (15 points)

1 .Autonomy vs. Shame

Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of will. If children in this stage are
encouraged and supported in their increased independence, they become more
confident and secure in their own ability to survive in the world.

If children are criticized, overly controlled, or not given the opportunity to assert
themselves, they begin to feel inadequate in their ability to survive, and may then
become overly dependent upon others, lack self-esteem, and feel a sense of
shame or doubt in their abilities.
