Questions and Answers

What term refers to the biological deterioration of organisms leading to death?

Aging (correct)

Maturation

Growth

Development

What is the key difference between traditional and life-span approaches to human development?

Traditional assumes life ends at adulthood while life-span sees development as lifelong. (correct)

Both approaches agree on no change in adulthood.

Traditional approach sees growth only in childhood while life-span sees continuous change. (correct)

Life-span approach disregards changes in adulthood.

In what way does maturation differ from growth?

Maturation is determined by genetic plans, while growth refers to size and weight increases. (correct)

Maturation involves learning from experiences while growth is purely biological.

Growth occurs only during childhood, while maturation continues into old age.

Maturation is a quantitative change while growth is qualitative.

Study Notes

Human Development Concepts

Development: Involves biological, cognitive, and socioemotional changes from conception through the lifespan, including growth and decline.
Growth: Quantitative physical changes (size, height, weight) from conception to maturity, linked to chronological age.
Aging: Refers to biological deterioration leading to mortality.
Maturation: Biological unfolding according to genetic plans, associated with age-related changes.
Learning: Process of acquiring information leading to relatively permanent changes in thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.
Environment: All external physical and social conditions influencing development, such as living conditions and social interactions.

Developmental Approaches

Traditional Approach: Belief in significant change until adolescence, little change in adulthood, and decline in late old age.
Life-Span Approach: Views development as continuous throughout life, with growth and change occurring even in adulthood.

Characteristics of Human Development (Life-Span Perspective)

Lifelong Development: Development continues beyond adulthood.
Plasticity: Indicates the potential for growth and change at any age; learning is possible throughout the lifespan.
Multidirectional Development: Some dimensions expand while others contract over time; e.g., language acquisition patterns may change.
Ordered Development: Development sequences are usually structured, such as learning to sit before standing.
Gradual Development: Change occurs gradually over time; significant developmental characteristics take years to manifest.
Contextual Development: Development is influenced by environmental contexts, and research methods vary based on study goals.

Research Designs in Developmental Studies

Observation: Involves examining behavior in natural settings or laboratories.
Physiological Measures: Indicators like heart rate and hormonal levels are assessed.
Standardized Tests: Prepared assessments of individual performance standardized for consistency.
Interviews and Questionnaires: Structured inquiries to gather participant information on specific topics.

Data Privacy in Research

Data Privacy Act of 2012 (R.A. 10173): Protects privacy rights in the Philippines, mandates consent for personal data collection, and ensures confidentiality in research involving children.

Impact of Teacher Research Involvement

Engaging in research leads to teachers being more reflective, analytical, and open to professional growth.
Teacher research enhances decision-making and promotes lifelong learning.
Teachers involved in research evolve their perceptions of teaching and their relationships with students.

Freud’s Psychoanalytic Theory

Sigmund Freud: Founder of psychoanalysis; his theories on human development are foundational in psychology.
Genital Stage: Begins at puberty; adolescents redirect sexual urges towards peers with a focus on genital pleasure.
Personality Components:
- Id: Present from birth; seeks immediate gratification without regard for reality or others' needs.
- Ego: Develops as the child grows; operates on the reality principle, balancing id's desires with practical considerations.
- Superego: Develops towards the end of preschool years; represents moral standards and societal values.
