Differentiate between growth and development process? How does intellectual
development occur?
Growth is physical changes whereas development is overall development of the organism. The
main differences between both are:
Growth is change of physical aspects of the organism. Development is overall changes
and progressive changes of the organism.
Growth is the change in shape, form, structure, size of the body. Development is
structural change and functional progress of the body.
Growth stops at maturation but development continues till death of the organism.
Growth is quantitative and development is qualitative in nature.
Growth can be measured accurately but development is subjective interpretation of one’s
change.
Children undergo fast rapid changes? How will the teacher cope and understand the needs
of children as learners?
Teachers use different strategies to help students learn. Teachers have the goal of establishing a
classroom environment that is favorable for helping all students work cooperatively in order to
learn. The classroom environment can either improve or impede a student's ability to learn and
feel safe and comfortable as a member of the class. Classrooms that encourage emotional well-
being create an atmosphere for both learning and emotional development. A teacher does not
merely stick to the role of a teacher. They adapt into various roles as and when the need arises.
Thus, we see how great a teacher impacts a student’s life and shapes it.
