    Study Notes

    Human Development

    • Development is a lifelong process that encompasses growth and change beyond adulthood.
    • Plasticity in development allows for both changes and stability throughout life.
    • Development is multidimensional, including biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional changes.
    • Contextual factors influence development, categorized into normative age, history-graded influences, and non-normative influences.

    Motivational and Affective Factors

    • Conception involves the fertilization of the egg by sperm, marking the beginning of development.
    • Learning is shaped by emotional states, beliefs, interests, and habitual thinking patterns.
    • Intrinsic motivation arises from natural curiosity and higher-order thinking, significant for effective learning.
    • Motivation directly affects the effort needed for mastering complex knowledge and skills.

    Stages of Development

    • Pre-natal development (conception to birth) involves the formation of body parts from a single cell.
    • Infancy (birth to 18-24 months) is characterized by extreme dependence on caregivers.
    • Early childhood (end of infancy to 5-6 years) focuses on self-independence and development of foundational skills.
    • Middle and late childhood (6-11 years) emphasizes literacy and numeracy skills.
    • Adolescence (10-12 years to 18-22 years) is a phase of rapid physical change and development of more logical, abstract thinking.
    • Early adulthood (late teens to 30s) emphasizes independence and career development.
    • Middle adulthood (40-60 years) involves expanding social roles and responsibilities.
    • Late adulthood (60 years and beyond) includes both "young old" (65-74 years) and "old old" (75-84 years) stages, with the oldest old being 85 years and older.

    Assessment Types

    • Diagnostic assessments serve as a pre-assessment tool.
    • Formative assessments are ongoing and inform progressive instruction.
    • Summative assessments evaluate student learning outcomes at the end of an instructional period.
    • Ipsative assessments focus on self-evaluation.
    • Norm-referenced assessments compare a student’s performance to a norm group.
    • Criterion-referenced assessments measure student performance against predefined standards.
    • Aptitude tests evaluate potential for specific work-related skills.

    Research in Child Development

    • Research is essential for understanding child development patterns and variability.
    • Case studies provide in-depth insights into individual development.
    • Correlational studies identify cause-and-effect relationships.
    • Naturalistic observation captures behavior in real-world settings.
    • Longitudinal studies track changes in a single group over time.
    • Cross-sectional studies compare different age groups at a single point in time.
    • Sequential studies combine elements of both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.
    • Action research involves reflective practice to identify and solve problems in educational settings.

    Data Gathering Procedures

    • Observation can occur in laboratory settings or natural environments.
    • Physiological measures assess physical indicators such as weight, height, and heart rate.
    • Standardized tests evaluate individuals against established norms.
    • Interviews solicit personal information directly from participants, enhancing understanding of developmental contexts.
