and late adolescence.
 LEARNING COMPETENCIES
• explain that knowing oneself can make a

 Development
• A progressive series of changes that occur in a
predictable pattern as a result of interactions between
biological and environmental factors. (Neil J. Salkind)
• Biological factors include genetic influences, brain
chemistry, hormone levels, nutrition, and gender.
• Anything which affects the function and behavior of
a living organism. Internally, this factor can be a
physical, physiological, chemical, neurological, or
genetic condition which causes a psychological effect.
Biological factors are seen as the primary
determinants of human behavior.
Environmental factors
• Examples of Environmental Factors Influencing Development
• Social: friends, stimulation, recreation.
• Emotional: stress, moral reasoning, empathy.
• Economic: class, access to basic needs, social and recreational
amenities.
• Physical: housing, weather, climate, and hygiene.
• The word 'development' is widely used to refer to a specified
state of advancement or growth.
• It could also be used to describe a new and advanced idea or
product; or an event that constitutes a new stage under
changing circumstances.
• Generally, the term development describes good change.
• Growth is a process that focuses on quantitative
improvement. For instance, a child visibly grows in weight
and height. Development focuses on both qualitative and
quantitative refinement. For instance, a child's IQ increases
with the growing age.
 Human development
•Means changes that take place in the life of
human beings as a results of many factors.
•A scientific study of how humans growth in
different aspects: physical, mental,
emotional, social, behavioral and spiritual.
 Human development
• Is defined as the process of enlarging people's freedoms and
opportunities and improving their well-being.
• is about the real freedom ordinary people have to decide who to be,
what to do, and how to live.
• is a branch of psychology with the goal of understanding people —
how they develop, grow, and change throughout their lives. This
discipline, which can help individuals better understand themselves
and their relationships, is broad.
• "the process of enlarging people's choices", said choices allowing
them to "lead a long and healthy life, to be educated, to enjoy a decent
standard of living", as well as "political freedom, other guaranteed
human rights and various ingredients of self-respect"
SIGMUND FREUD’s PSYCHOSEXUAL THEORY
• Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939) is a popular psychologist
whose theory of human development and personality
sparked great interest as well as controversy, due to its
biological orientation that focuses on the psychosexual
development of an individual.
• father of psychoanalysis
• Satisfaction of the erogenous
zone or pleasure area is
important in development.
• He believed that early experiences are very important in
human development.
• He considered instincts as the main source of life
energy that finds its way in different parts of the body
called erogenous zones or pleasure areas which are
sensitive to stimulations.
• His theory of psychosexual development has five
distinct stages.
• Each stage is characterized by certain ways of connecting
with the world through particular areas of the body.
•Satisfaction of each area or zone is
important to develop a healthy
personality.
•If needs are not met or satisfied
excessively, fixation occurs which is
characterized by attachment to a
particular object or activity that may
affect development.

•The psychological definition of fixation
relates to having attachments to people

•Freud believed that persistent fixations
were due to unresolved issues in

 ERIK ERIKSON’S PSYCHOSOCIAL THEORY
Erik Erikson – (1912 – 1994) expanded Freud’s
theory that recognizes the importance of early
experiences in childhood.
He shifted his focus from Freud’s biological
perspective to psychosocial which takes into
account the role of social factors to influence
development.
Socialization process is important.
Extended the stages of development throughout
the life span.
Each stage is characterized by psychosocial
conflict or crisis that an individual needs to
overcome to successfully move to the next stage.

 JEAN PIAGET’S COGNITIVE
Jean Piaget (1896 – 1980)
DEVELOPMENT
He believes that an individual grows through a dynamic process in which the
body’s internal system interacts with the environment.
Factors involved in the developmental process
1. active role of an individual
2. Maturation (biological change)
3. Experience
4. The transfer of attitudes
5. Information
6. Customs (a child learning from what parents taught him/her)
Cognitive - relating to or involving the processes of thinking and
reasoning:
Cognitive development means the development of the ability to
think and reason. Children ages 6 to 12, usually think in concrete
ways (concrete operations). This can include things like how to
combine, separate, order, and transform objects and actions.
Cognitive skills, also called cognitive functions, cognitive abilities or
cognitive capacities, are brain-based skills which are needed in
acquisition of knowledge, manipulation of information and reasoning.
Jean Piaget is a psychologist who developed a theory
of cognitive development focused on intellectual
development of children.
His theory of cognitive
development tries to explain
how a child understands the
world: how he/she thinks,
reason out, remembers and solve
problems.
He considers education as a key
element in developing once
cognitive skills.
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
STAGES PERIODS SOME DESCRIPTIONS
 The child learns through sensory
experiences.
 Knowledge is based on the
senses, and the child responds
to people and things through
movements like sucking or
grasping.
1. SENSORIMOTOR From birth to 2 years  An important understanding
STAGE that should be attained is that
an object continues to exist even
if it is n longer seen(object
permanence)
 The child should begin to form
mental images toward the latter
part of this stage.
 STAGES PERIODS SOME DESCRIPTIONS
 The child’s way of thinking is
toward himself/herself
(egocentric).
 The child continues to develop
2. PRE – OPERATIONAL From 2 to 7 years using mental images and begins
to use symbols to represent what
STAGE he/she knows(symbolic thought)

 The child may find difficulty
understanding that actions or
thinking can be reversed (ex.
Reversing mental operations” 1 +
2 “ can be “2 + 1”)
 The child is still unable to focus
on several aspects of a problem
or understand cause and effect
relationship.
STAGES PERIODS SOME DESCRIPTIONS
 The child is limited in
understanding or
appreciating another’ point
of view (Ex. A boy will insist
to buy her sister a car for her
birthday because he thinks
she will also have fun playing
with it as much as he does.)
 The child tends to attribute
human characteristics to

--Jean Piaget
 Lawrence Kohlberg – 1927 – 1987
studied how children understand what is
right and wrong and how they develop
a sense of morality.
Morality defines it as the “ability to
distinguish right from wrong and to
behave accordingly.”( Weiten – 2014, 2011)
Recognized the role of cognitive
ability in developing moral reasoning
of children.
He believed that there are 3 levels
of morality with two stages in each level.
 STAGES OF MORAL
REASONING
Moral reasoning refers to the processes
involved in how individuals think about right
and wrong and in how they acquire and apply
moral rules and guidelines.
An example of moral reasoning is the following statement:

“When two people are equally deserving of resources,

then it would be unfair to give more to one person than
the other simply because of the way a person looks.”
Principles may be logically derived from other
principles, such as when the prohibition against unfair
distribution of resources is derived from more abstract
principles that reflect obligations about human rights
and dignity.

---Lawrence Kohlberg
 Basic assumptions that are commonly
shared by behaviorists – Neil J. Salkind
1. Development is an effect of learning.
2. There are different types of learning that contribute to development.
3. There are differences in development due to individuals’ different set
of experiences.
4. Development occurs when existing behaviors are organized.
5. Biological factors set limits on what behaviors can be developed, but
the environment shapes the behaviors.
6. Development is not directly related to biologically determined stages.
The Period of adolescence: A general Perspective
Adolescence is a transitional period in human development from puberty to
adulthood.
It is marked by adjustment to physiological changes, search for identity,
progress in cognitive abilities, flight of independence and establishments of
meaningful ties with others.
This is a challenging phase with the crucial task of planning for the future.
It is important that an adolescent, aside from enjoying his/her youth, should
direct one’s energy in developing talents and skills that will expand the
repertoire of abilities needed to pursue dreams.
Most importantly, adolescence is that point in life when one has to start
learning to make commitments to some goals that will determine what he/she
will do later in life.
This is the best time to get ready.
 How one gets to know oneself?
Understanding personality –
1. The first key to knowing oneself s having a clear grasp of
what personality is.
2. individual’s personality consists of the physical, mentl,
emotional, social and spiritual makeup.
3. It is important to look into habits that make one distinct
from other persons. ( traits and characteristics)
4. The change may be a result of one’s personal conviction,
circumstances and environment, influence of other people,
and many other factors.
Appreciating Values
1. Values pertain to the moral codes, norms of
conduct, and ethical principle a person adheres to.
2. Values guide the day – to – day life like integrity,
honesty, loyalty, industry excellence and
professionalism.
3. Examples – one’s choice of career and choice of
friends.
Knowing the body and physical attributes
1. One can feel sensations such as pain, pleasure,
warmth, and fatigue
2. A persons becomes aware of his/her breathing,
movements, abilities, balance and flexiblity because
of the body.
3. On the aspects of physical attributes, differences
may be de to genetics, age, lifestyles, ailments, or
personal enhancements.
4. Example – transition from childhood to adolescence.
Recognizing dreams and aspirations
1. Serves as a road map to a future.
2. They pave the way for a life worth living.
3. Person’s goals and ambitions in life.
4. Type of individual he/she desires to become
somebody.
5. Explore opportunities and paths that could lead
to goals.
Identifying likes and dislikes
1. What bring satisfaction and dissatisfaction to a person.
2. To pursue what is desired and avoid what is undesired.
3. Doing things that are disliked may only bring frustrations
4. Doing things that are liked may bring gratification.
5. Identifying one’s likes and dislikes enables a person to
define the personality and boost individual confidence
6. The ability to determine one’s likes and dislikes spells the
foundation in the pursuit of personal goals in life.
Embracing the past
1. Knowing and treasuring the past.
2. Instrumental in he formation of self – concept.
3. Experiences one encounters teach lessons in
life.
4. How a persons sees the past and draws
inspiration from it to continue on with his/her
life.
Understanding self – perception and other’s
perceptions
1. Knowledge of the self is a product of one’s own
perception, view of oneself in relation to other
people, others perceptions and how a person
truly is based on objective reality.
2. A clear understanding of this interaction is well
demonstrated by the Johari Window, a model
of self – awareness and interpersonal relation.
The Johari Window is a framework for understanding conscious and
unconscious bias that can help increase self-awareness and our understanding of
others. It is the creation of two psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harrington
Ingham, who named the model by combining their first names.
Consists of four window panes – is a mechanism
designed to help an individual grow through
learning more about oneself and others.
1. Open area – known to oneself and known to others.
 Refers to the things that the public knows about oneself
 Examples ..Age, Gender, Educational Attainment
2. Hidden area – known only to oneself and not known for others
 It refers to one’s secrets in life
3. Blind Area – not known to the self but is known by others or the
“blind spot” of the person
 Consists of the things that an individual may not necessarily be aware
or conscious of, but are seen, observed and felt by other people
 Examples are mannerisms and expressions
4. Unknown area – not known to the person or others
 Remains untapped and undiscovered until the time or right
opportunity comes such as an emergency and crisis situation that
calls for one to act instantaneously.
 The way a person responds to the situation may bring about a
discovery of the self – making one realize a talent or skill otherwise
unknown to him or her.
According to Luft and Ingham, a person can use the
Johari Window to improve the self by widening the
open area and reducing the hidden and blind areas
Doing so will eventually lead to the reduction of the
unknown area as well as pave the way for one to
discover more about oneself in terms of attitude,
talents, capabilities and other skills
These can be made possible by modes of sharing,
establishing trust and asking for and giving
feedback with tact.
The Johari window help the individual analyze
the self better and move toward improving the
self through sharing, giving feedback, accepting
limitations and trusting other people.
The Johari window likewise enhances one’s
competence to interrelate wish people better
through trust, understanding and concern.
Both the interpersonal and intrapersonal
relations of the individual are enhanced,
