Human development refers to the pattern of growth and change that begins at conception and continues throughout the lifespan. It includes both growth and decline and can be positive or negative. There are some major principles of human development including that development proceeds from the center of the body outward and from the head downward, while the rate and outcomes of development vary between individuals. Development is a complex process influenced by biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional factors. Approaches to studying human development include the traditional perspective that sees little change after childhood and the lifespan approach that views development as ongoing throughout life in multiple dimensions.

through the life span.
•Includes growth decline.
•Can be positive or negative.

3. Major principles of
human development

4. 1.Development is relatively orderly
•Proximodistal pattern.
•Cephalocaudal pattern.

5. Development proceeds
from the center of the
body outward.

6. Development proceeds
from the head downward.

7. 2.while the pattern of the development is
likely to be similar,the outcomes of
developmental processes and rate of
development are likely to vary among
individuals.

8. 3.Development takes place gradully
4.development as a process complex
because it is the product of biological,
cognitive,and socio-emotional processes.

9. Approaches to human development
•Traditional perspective.
•Life-span approach.

10. Traditional perspective
•Believes that individuals will show
extensive change from birth to adolesce,
little or no change in adulthood and
decline in late old age.

11. Life span approach
•Believes that even in adulthood,
developmental change takes place as it
does during childhood.

12. What are the characteristics of the
life span perspective

13. Development is life long
•It does not end in adulthood no
developmental stage dominates
development.

14. Development is multidimensional
•Development consist of biological
cognitive and socio-emotional
dimensions.

15. Development is plastic
•Development is possible throughout the
life span.

16. Development is contextual
•Individuals are changing beings in a
changing world.

17. Development involves growth
,maintenance,and regulation.
•Growth, maintenance and regulation
are 3 goels of human development.The
goals of individuals vary among
developmental stages.

18. Principles of child development and
learning that inform practice

19. •all areas of development and learnings
are important.
•learning and development follow
sequences.

20. •Development and learnings proceed at
varying rates.
•Development and learning result from
an interaction of maturation and
experience.

21. •Early experience have profound effects
on development and learnings.
•Development proceed toward greater
complexity,self regulation,and symbolic
or representation capacities.

22. •children develop best when they have
secure relationship.
•Delopment and learning occur in and
are influenced by multiple social and
cultural contexts.

23. •Children learn in a variety of ways
•Play is an important vehicle for
developing self regulation and
promoting language, cognition ,and
social competence.

24. •Development and learning advance
when children are challenged
•Children's experiences shape their
motivation and approaches to learning.
