Human Development: Meaning, Concepts and Approches: - Brenda B. Corpuz, PH.D

Human development is the pattern of change that begins at conception and continues throughout the lifespan, including growth and decline. It involves orderly biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes. While the pattern of development is similar for individuals, the rate and outcomes vary. Development occurs gradually through complex interactions between an individual and their environment across the lifespan.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: Meaning,

Concepts and Approches


-Brenda B. Corpuz,Ph.D
INTRODUCTION

• Every living creature is called to


become what is meant to be.
Meaning of Human Development

• Human development is the pattern of


movement or change that begins at
conception and continues through the life
span. Development includes growth and
decline. This means that development can be
positive or negative.
MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:

• 1. DEVELOPMENT IS RELATIVELY ORDERLY- they will learn


to sit, crawl then walk before they can run.
Proximodistal pattern – the muscular control of the
trunk and the arms comes earlier as compared to the
hands and fingers.
Cephalocaudal pattern – During infancy, the greatest
growth always occurs at the top- the head- with physical
growth in size, weight and future differentiation.
MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:

• 2. WHILE THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY TO


BE SIMILAR, THE OUTCOMES OF DEVELOPMENTAL
PROCESSES AND THE RATE OF DEVELOPMENT ARE
LIKELY TO VARY AMONG INDIVIDUALS.

• 3. DEVELOPMENT TAKES PLACE GRADUALLY.


MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:

• 4. DEVELOPMENT AS A PROCESS IS COMPLEX BECAUSE IT


IS THE PRODUCT OF BIOLOGICAL, COGNITIVE AND
SOCIOEMOTIONAL PROCESSES( SANTROCK, 2002 )

Biological- process involve changes in the individuals


physical nature.
MAJOR PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:

 Cognitive- processes involve changes in the


individuals thought, intelligence, and language.

Socioemotional – processes include changes in


the individuals relationships with other people,
changes in emotions, and changes in personality.
Two approaches to human development

1) Traditional – will show extensive change from


birth to adolescence, little or no change in
adulthood and decline in late old age.
2) Life-span – if you believe that even in
adulthood development change takes place as
it does during childhood.
Characteristics of life-span development

1) Development is lifelong.
2) Development is multidimensional – consists of
biological, cognitive and socioemotional dimentions.
3) Developmental is contextual – individuals are
changing beings in a changing world.
4) Development involves growth, maintenance and
regulation.
