 DEVELOPING THE WHOLE PERSON
Self- awareness or Self- empowerment
• The general meaning of Self-empowerment is taking control of our own life, setting goals,
and making positive choices. Basically it means that we have to understand our strengths
and weaknesses, and have belief in ourselves.

Example:
- Saying that you ‘should’ behave in a certain way implies passivity and can detract from
seeming to be in control and taking responsibility for your actions. Talking about yourself in a
positive way, acknowledging strengths and weaknesses, can be empowering.
SELF- AWARENESS OR SELF- EMPOWERMENT
How important Self- Empowerment is in our life, and how it can be change every one’s life?

• Better Health
• Satisfying and Intimate Relationships
• Career Success
 BETTER HEALTH
- When you’re self-empowered, you can get a lot of meaningful things done. In turn, you can
become confident in yourself and healthier in mind and body.

If you have low self-esteem, you may be vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and other serious
mental and emotional issues.

When you’re empowered, you can do what’s needed to make yourself physically healthy, too.
You can exercise regularly, eat healthily, and get enough rest.
 SATISFYING AND INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIPS
- Self-empowerment may appear to be narcissistic because of the word “self,” but it’s not
about narcissism.

It’s about having control over your life, not other people’s lives. Therefore, it’s not about
making the world revolve around you but helping you shape your own life.

One of the most important areas where self-empowerment can be beneficial is in your
relationships.
 CAREER SUCCESS
- When you’re an empowered person, you can accomplish a lot of important things, especially
in your job or business. When you can do that, you can climb the ladder of corporate or
achieve entrepreneurial success much faster.

You see, you can only set goals and take quick, decisive, and effective actions if you feel
confident in yourself and your abilities. Such confidence hinges a lot on how empowered you
think you are.

Your ability to take such actions has a huge impact on your personal productivity and
effectiveness. Both of these are crucial for corporate and entrepreneurial success.
 SELF CONCEPT AND ITS ASPECT
- Self-concept is how you perceive your behavior, abilities, and unique characteristics.

Example:
- Beliefs such as “I am a good friend” or “I am a kind person” are part of an overall self-
concept.

On the other hand, Self-concept tends to be more malleable when you’re younger and still
going through the process of self-discovery and identity formation
 SELF- CONCEPT

- In addition, the self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about,
evaluates or perceives themselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself.“The
individual’s belief about himself or herself, including the person’s attributes and who and what
the self is”.
 PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
• Although sexual maturation and the height spurt are the primary pubertal events, numerous
additional physiologic changes take place throughout puberty. The central nervous system
expands, while lymphoid tissue regresses dramatically. The size and mass of the heart, lungs,
and viscera all rise.
Example:
- Infants make rapid advances in both recognition and recall memory, and this in turn
increases their ability to understand and anticipate events in their environment.

In addition, Psychological development, the development of human beings’ cognitive,

emotional, intellectual, and social capabilities and functioning over the course of a normal life
span, from infancy through old age.
 PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
Why it is important ?

- The study of developmental psychology is essential to understanding how humans learn,

mature and adapt. Throughout their lives, humans go through various stages of development.
Developmental psychologists study how people grow, develop and adapt at different life
stages.
PAIGET’S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT STAGE
- Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four
different stages of mental development. His theory focuses not only on understanding how
children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence.
- Piaget’s stages are:

Sensorimotor stage: birth to 2 years

Preoperational stage: ages 2 years to 7 years
Concrete operational stage: ages 7 years to 11years
• Formal operational stage: ages 12 years and up
PAIGET’S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT STAGE
How Piaget Developed the Theory?
- Piaget was born in Switzerland in the late 1800s and was a precocious student, publishing his first
scientific paper when he was just 11 years old. His early exposure to the intellectual development of
children came when he worked as an assistant to Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon as they worked to
standardize their famous IQ test.
Much of Piaget’s interest in the cognitive development of children was inspired by his observations of his
own nephew and daughter. These observations reinforced his budding hypothesis that children’s minds
were not merely smaller versions of adult minds.

In addition, Piaget believed that children take an active role in the learning process, acting much like little
scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world. As kids interact with
the world around them, they continually add new knowledge, build upon existing knowledge, and adapt
previously held ideas to accommodate new information.
 BANDURA’S THEORY OF SOCIAL LEARNING
- Social learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of
observing, modelling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of
others. Social learning theory considers how both environmental and cognitive factors
interact to influence human learning and behavior.
Bandura is known for his social learning theory. He is quite different from other learning
theorists who look at learning as a direct result of conditioning, reinforcement, and
punishment. Bandura asserts that most human behavior is learned through observation,
imitation, and modeling.
 BANDURA’S THEORY OF SOCIAL
LEARNING
Albert Bandura As the creator of the concept of social learning theory, Bandura proposes five
essential steps in order for the learning to take place: observation, attention, retention,
reproduction, and motivation.
Example:
- Social learning theory examples in everyday life are common, with one of the most evident
being the behaviors of children, as they imitate family members, friends, famous figures and
even television characters. If a child perceives there is a meaningful reward for such behavior,
they will perform it at some point.
 BANDURA’S THEORY OF SOCIAL LEARNING

How is Bandura’s theory used today?

- Using Bandura’s social learning theory in the classroom can help students reach their
potential. Students do not only imitate each other but also the teacher. Being a good role
model, open to all the students, and holding the students to a level of responsibility will be
imitated by the students according to Bandura.
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY
- Freud proposed that personality development in childhood takes place during five
psychosexual stages, which are the oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages. During
each stage sexual energy (libido) is expressed in different ways and through different parts
of the body.
Freudian psychosexual development
Stage[1] Age Range[1] Erogenous zone[1]
Oral Birth–1 year Mouth
Anal 1–3 years Bowel and bladder elimination
Phallic 3–6 years Genitalia
Latency6–puberty Dormant sexual feelings
Genital Puberty–death Sexual interests mature
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY
- Oral Stage (Birth to 1 year)
In The first stage of psychosexual development, the libido is centered in a baby’s mouth.
During the oral stages, the baby gets much satisfaction from putting all sorts of things in its
mouth to satisfy the libido, and thus its id demands. Which at this stage in life are oral, or
mouth orientated, such as sucking, biting, and breastfeeding.
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY
- Anal Stage (1 to 3 years)
During The anal stage of psychosexual development the libido becomes focused on the anus,
and the child derives great pleasure from defecating. The child is now fully aware that they
are a person in their own right and that their wishes can bring them into conflict with the
demands of the outside world (i.e., their ego has developed).
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY
- Phallic Stage (3 to 6 years)
The phallic stage is the third stage of psychosexual development, spanning the ages of three to
six years, wherein the infant’s libido (desire) centers upon their genitalia as the erogenous
zone.

The child becomes aware of anatomical sex differences, which sets in motion the conflict
between erotic attraction, resentment, rivalry, jealousy and fear which Freud called the
Oedipus complex (in boys) and the Electra complex (in girls).
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY

Latency Stage (6 years to puberty)

- The latency stage is the forth stage of psychosexual development, spanning the period of six
years to puberty. During this stage the libido is dormant and no further psychosexual
development takes place (latent means hidden).
Freud thought that most sexual impulses are repressed during the latent stage, and sexual
energy can be sublimated towards school work, hobbies, and friendships.
 FREUD’S PSYCHOSEXUAL DEVELOPMENT
THEORY
Genital Stage (puberty to adult)
- The genital stage is the last stage of Freud’s psychosexual theory of personality development,
and begins in puberty. It is a time of adolescent sexual experimentation, the successful
resolution of which is settling down in a loving one-to-one relationship with another person in
our 20’s.

Sexual instinct is directed to heterosexual pleasure, rather than self-pleasure like during the
phallic stage.
