LESSON 1

Task 1. Define human development in your own words.

- For me, the process of expanding people's freedoms and opportunities while also improving
their well-being is known as human development. They discuss the actual freedom that
everyday individuals have to choose who they are, what they do, and how they live.

Task 2. Based on the picture below, explain and illustrate the Cephalo-caudal and
Proximo-distal Pattern of Development.

A. The cephalocaudal principle of development, growth occurs from the head to the bottom of
an organism.

B. the proximodistal principle, which states that growth occurs in an outward direction from the
body's core and then to the arms and legs.

Task 3. Differentiate the following concepts reflected in the table below.

LESSON 2

Task 1. Organize Information

Developmental Stages Tasks of Human Development

Prenatal Period It represents more significant changes in the

brain.

Infancy A children will be extreme dependence on

adults.

Early Childhood The is busy learning language as a

preschooler and is gaining a sense of self
and greater independence.

Middle and Late Childhood Middle childhood is defined as the ages 6 to

11, and much of what children experience at
this age is linked to their involvement in the
early grades of school.

Adolescence Adolescence is a period that deals about

puberty and sexual maturation

Early Adulthood Early adulthood is a moment when we are

physiologically at our best but most
vulnerable to participation in violent crime
and drug misuse.

Middle Adulthood A period when people start to view

possibilities in life more realistically and start
to distinguish between what is likely and what
is likely.

Late Adulthood It's time to assess your life, adjust to your

decreasing health and strength,
and transition to new social responsibilities
and retirement.
Task 2. Answer the given questions below.

2.1. How will you see yourself at the age of 40?

- I can see myself finally loving myself at age 40, whether I'm my old self or my new self,
but I can also see myself having financial difficulties as a result of what I've gone through
at that age. Coming home after work, overwhelmed with tasks and obligations, working
long hours to earn money, and attempting to repay my parents for their efforts and
sacrifices to me. That's how I picture my life at 40, but I have to ask myself every day,
"Can I truly live to that age? ", "Will I be able to reach the age of 40?"

2.2. Is there development after 60? Support your answers.

- Why do you think there is still development after 60? When people reach the age of 60,
they typically experience a decline in strength, weakening, and mental acuity. However,
my grandpa is already 70 years old and still manages to drive long distances, play
boxing, have fun with my younger sisters, still has sharp memories, and even has time to
try new things in life. This suggests that development in old age depends on an
individual's immune system and overall fitness. I think there is still development after 60
because of this.

3.1. How are you going to apply the concept learned as a teacher?

- One of the finest ways to teach kids is to be specific about application; that way, they will
comprehend right away. I'll make it interactive and collaborative so that kids feel free to
talk to one another and are willing to share their thoughts. It will raise society's standards
and make us more logical along with the intellectual growth of the kids.
LESSON 3

Task 1.

1. Prenatal Period (from conception to birth)

- During this stage, my mother has particularly high nutritional needs.

2. Infancy (from birth to 18 – 24 months)

- During this stage are the dependence on adult are extreme.

3. Early Childhood (end of infancy to 5 – 6 years (Grade 1)

- Start learning alphabets and acknowledging reading skills.
4. Middle and Late Childhood (6 – 11 years of age, the elementary school years)
- We are exposed in wide world and more open to culture. Learning to read and write.

5. Adolescence (10 -12 years of age ending up to 18 – 22 years of age)

- A period where my puberty hits and have my menstruation. We tend to be more
understandable yet impatient.

6. Early Adulthood (from late teens or early 20s lasting through the 30s)
- It is a stage where you love to be alone, freedom, and peace. Easily annoyed and more focus
on priorities.
7. Middle Adulthood (40 to 60 years of age)
- Middle adulthood is the time for expanding personal and social involvement and
responsibilities. It is commonly the age where others get married or have a child.

8. Late Adulthood (60s and above)

- It is a time for adjustment to decreasing strength and health, life review,
retirement, and adjustment to new social roles.

Task 2. Cite at least two developmental issues that you have experienced.

- One of the developmental issues I deal with as I get older is my monthly period, which
causes me a lot of discomfort and makes me moody. Another is that I'm nearsighted,
which makes it difficult for me to read letters and everything else without my glasses.
