The Growth and Development of the Learner
Learning Points
1. Identify the developmental stages of learners in different grade levels.
2. Describe the developmental tasks in each stage.
3. Examine the life of famous figure and analyze how her early years formed
her character in the later years.
4. Research on technological inventions use in schools to cater exceptionalities.
Overview
Parents, teachers, peers, and mentors support children as they face the
challenges of development. Much is known about the typical scope and
sequence of development. For example, we know that patterns of learning are
individual.
Each child progresses at a different rate, is drawn to different subjects,
and is motivated by different events. Trends emerge across similar groups of
learners. Thus, we may ask, ‘‘what develops?’’ in the learner, and ‘‘under what
conditions does development occur?’’ (Novak, 1996, p. 268).
Knowing the answers to these questions permits the creation of
educational programs that maximize this growth. To answer these questions,
we must examine what is meant by learning and development. There are
different ways in which a skill can be acquired, different depths or quality of
that learning, and different means of making experiences available to the
learner.
For each event to be taught, the best way to provide instruction to
complement and facilitate development should be considered. In this module,
you will venture into the different stages of human growth and development
and the developmental tasks expected in each stage. Likewise, a consideration
on the types of exceptionalities is added in this module. Hence, may you gain
insight from the specific topics in this module.
