Learning Activity 2: Application

1. What are the implications of these developmental tasks to your role as a facilitator of learning? Pay
particular attention to the stages that correspond to school age.

As a facilitator of learning, I am responsible for the guidance in most of my learners’ developmental

tasks. Especially to those in early and middle childhood who are starting to develop their personality and
academic growth. Involvement of learning facilitator in their developmental tasks will greatly contribute
in their success in the future and ability to continue to their next stage of development.

2. Let’s have a “throwback” of your childhood days. Were you able to acquire the developmental tasks
expected? What facilitated your acquisitions of the ability to perform such tasks? Write your
reflections.

As I look back to my childhood days, I can say that I was able to acquire those expected developmental
tasks for me, with the help and unconditional support of my family. However, it was never a perfect
journey and many factors influenced in every development stage of my life.

At the start of my early childhood age, I lost my mother. Maybe because I cannot clearly understand yet
the situation that time, it did not extremely affect my early and middle childhood development. As far as
I remember, I was still able to enjoy that stages of my life. I remember fondly how I play with my friends
and enjoyed going to school with them. But during my adolescence stage, having no mother around me
greatly affected me while acquiring my developmental tasks. I remember that I sometimes suffer from
low self-esteem and social anxiety. I am just grateful that my father and grandparents are always there
for me during that difficult stage of my life.

I became what I am now because I had received all the support and guidance I need while growing up. I
successfully completed my studies and had my own career. And now in my middle adulthood stage, I am
enjoying life with my beautiful family. And continue doing my best in achieving more developmental
tasks in the next stages of my life.

3. As future teacher/educator, how will you facilitate your students’ acquisition of those
developmental tasks?

As a future educator, I must have knowledge first about students’ specific developmental stage, recent
developmental successes, and upcoming developmental challenges for me to decide what to teach and
how to teach it.
I have to help students who are struggling with learning and adjustment with their developmental tasks.
For me to do this I have to be patient and make effort to consistently communicate with them. I will
continue motivate them during their acquisition of their developmental tasks.

Also, I have to consider the individual differences of the learners as it will help me (as a teacher) to
carefully plan an efficient and effective learning-teaching process.
