Introduction to Human Development

This unit is reflective in nature, offering academic and personal growth opportunities.

Setting Up the Classroom

Active participation is encouraged through asking questions and being curious.
The class will involve small group work and personal reflections.
Mutual responsibility is required to create a safe and respectful environment.

Activity 1: Developmental Theories

Three developmental theories are compared and contrasted: • Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory • Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory • Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development
Students are tasked with identifying similarities and differences between these theories.

Activity 2: Debate

A debate is held on the nature vs nurture debate, with two arguments: • Argument 1: Behaviour is dictated by genes (nature) • Argument 2: Behaviour is shaped by environment (nurture)

Reflections and Applications

Major influences on human development include genes and environment.
Challenges in the field of developmental psychology are addressed.
Students are encouraged to reflect on how these factors impact their own development.
