Human Development Why study children’s development? �The more you learn about children’s development, the more you can understand at what level it is appropriate to teach them. Four types of human development: v. Cognitive Development v. Physical Development v. Social Development v. Emotional Development

Cognitive Development “Cognitive development refers to the development of the ability to think and reason”. � C). Analyzes ways in which developmental characteristics of students in early childhood through grade 12 impact leaning and performance and applies knowledge of students’ developmental characteristics and needs to plan effective learning experiences and assessments. � F). Uses knowledge of cognitive changes in students in early childhood through adolescence to plan developmentally appropriate instruction and assessment that promote learning and development. � H). Recognizes signs of developmental delays or impairments in students in early childhood through grade 4.

Jean Piaget’s Development Theory The Sensorimotor Period Preoperational Thought Concrete Operations Formal Operations (birth to 2 years) (2 to 6 or 7 years) (6/7 to 11/12) (11/12 to adult) Infant stages are constantly experimenting and realizing that objects exist. Children are able to think about things symbolically (not completely logical). Children demonstrate logical (Reasoning) and concrete (real). They are on their intellectual development stage (learn, reason, and understand). Example: Putting things into their mouth. Or Crawling Example: Putting numbers in order. Example: Linear equations Y= 4 x+9 Example: Knowing the difference between fair and unfair.

Physical Development � D). Demonstrates an understanding of physical changes that occur in early childhood through adolescence, factors that affect students’ physical growth and health, and ways in which physical development impacts development in other domains. � I). Knows the stages of play development and the important role of play in young children’s learning and development. � J). Uses knowledge of the developmental characteristics and needs of students in early childhood through grade 4. � K). Recognizes that positive and productive learning environments involve creating a culture of high academic expectations, equity throughout the learning community and developmental responsiveness.

Cont. Physical Development � L). Recognizes the importance of helping students in early childhood through grade 12 learn and apply life skills. � M). Knows the rationale for appropriate middle-level education and how middle-level schools are structured to address the characteristics and needs of young adolescents. � O). Understands ways in which student involvement in risky behaviors impacts development and learning. � P). Demonstrates knowledge of the importance of peers, peer acceptance and conformity to peer group norms and expectations for adolescents and understands the significance of peer-related issues for teaching and learning.

Emotional and Social Development � E). Recognizes factors affecting the social and emotional development of students in early childhood through adolescence and knows that students’ social and emotional development impacts their development in other domains. � N). Recognizes typical challenges for students during later childhood, adolescence and young adulthood (e. g. self-image, physical appearance, eating disorders, feelings of rebelliousness, identity formation, educational and career decisions) and effective ways to help students address these challenges.

Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages Stage Basic Conflict Important Events Infancy (birth to 18 months) Trust vs. Mistrust Feeding Early Childhood (2 to 3 years) Preschool (3 to 5 years) School Age (6 to 11 years) Adolescence (12 to 18 years) Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt Initiative vs. Guilt Industry vs. Inferiority Identity vs. Role Confusion Outcome Children develop a sense of trust when caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection. A lack of this will lead to mistrust. Toilet Training Children need to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and a sense of independence. Success leads to feelings of autonomy, failure results in feelings of shame and doubt. Exploration Children need to begin asserting control and power over the environment. Success in this stage leads to a sense of purpose. Children who try to exert too much power experience disapproval, resulting in a sense of guilt. School Children need to cope with new social and academic demands. Success leads to a sense of competence, while failure results in feelings of inferiority. Social Relationships Teens need to develop a sense of self and personal identity. Success leads to an ability to stay true to yourself, while failure leads to role confusion and a weak sense of self.

Understands that development in any one domain (i. e. cognitive, social, physical, emotional) impacts development in other domains. (all stages of development).
