- 2. Traditional Perspective Believes thatindividuals will have extensive change from birth to adolescence, little or no change in adulthood and decline in late old age.
- 3. Life Span Approach(PaulBaltes) Believes that even in adulthood, developmental change takes place as does during childhood. Characteristics of Life-Span Perspectives a. Development is LIFELONG. It does not end in adulthood. No developmental stage dominates development. b. Development is PLASTIC – Development is possible throughout the lifespan. c. Development is MULTIDIMENSIONAL. Development consists of biological, cognitive and social-emotional dimensions. - development is relatively orderly (learn to sit, crawl, walk –run) proximodistal – development proceeds from the center of the body outward (torso, spine to the arms and legs cephalo-caudal- development of growth occurs from the top (head) to the bottom (feet) - development takes place gradually (mere sounds to a word – two words becoming a sentence
- 4. d. Development isCONTEXTUAL – Individual are changing beings in a changing world. e. Development involves GROWTH, MAINTENANCE and REGULATION. Growth, maintenance and regulation are three goals of human development. The goals of individuals vary among developmental stages.
- 5. Four (4) Principlesof Human Development Cognitive Principle. This is also critical because it assists the child/student in learning through knowledge-based concepts and ideas. It sharpens their ability to think both inside and outside the box, as well as to read between the lines. Physical principle is also necessary because it allows the child/student to do whatever he wishes in order to understand what the mentor / educator/teacher intended and perform according to the assigned tasks. Emotional principle It is also relevant because it lets the child/student learn by communicating with other people through their emotions and feelings and how they behave and react as a result of it. This theory is apparent in the interaction of psychological, emotional, and physical factors. Social principle is significant because it allows the child/student to learn further by engaging with others who have diverse abilities and qualities, aptitudes, capacities and skills, desires and ideas, and so on. It also encourages the child/student to learn and know more about himself/herself in all ways.

Editor's Notes
- #3 An example of proximodistal growth would be how babies can sit before they stand and how they stand before they walk. These show parts of the body that are more proximal to the body developing before the distal parts. The largeness of an infant's head is one of the best examples of the cephalocaudal development. In cephalocaudal development, growth starts at the head and moves down. As the infant grows, the rest of its body catches up with the larger head, which grew first.
- #5 Education is not only a process and a result of growth; it is also a medium of growth. It seeks to realize all of the potentialities of children to the greatest extent possible. This means that teachers and parents must be aware of what their students are capable of and what ability they have. Armed with this information, they can have appropriate resources and favorable environmental facilities that promote the full development of children. Aside from these openings, their actions must be supportive, constructive, and sympathetic. The development philosophies also emphasized the significance of "social distinctions" from one child to the next and from one point to the next. This fact justifies the provision of diverse courses for the advancement of unique skills, strengths, and desires, as well as a rich and varied co-curricular curriculum. Similarly, curricular programs can be tailored to the needs and expectations of children at different stages of development, such as infancy, boyhood or later puberty, pre-adolescence, and adolescence.
