Key Concepts

Holistic Development – is a process of self-actualization and learning that combines an individual’s

mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual growth.
o The term can be used to describe forms of alternative education that are based on the more
humanistic and democratic outlook.
The Aspects of Holistic Development
Is defined as encompassing a broad range of biological Page 7 5 systems (e.g.
Musculo-skeletal, nervous, endocrine, integumentary, cardiovascular, respiratory,
digestive, reproductive) and associated biochemical and hormonal processes.
 Rapid body growth
 Hair growth
 Muscle Modification
Physiological and Neurobiological The changes are preparing you to become physically capable of biological reproduction.
Development Puberty – the stage when the body matures in all aspects, with its sexual characteristics
– primed for the natural process of reproduction.
 In the neurobiological aspect, the brain grows rapidly but matures slower. There
is a reason why at birth, the human head is disproportionately larger compared
to the rest of the body.
Cognitive and Moral Development Cognitive Development – the development of our cognitive abilities also has stages
There are some theories developed ranging from the time we are born to what we are now. According to Piaget, an individual
that explained the cognitive and moral undergoes distinct stages of intellectual development.

Development. 4. Formal operational (12 years-adult) – the adolescent ca reason abstractly and
think in hypothetical terms.
Moral Development – Kohlberg believed in Piaget’s theory and expanded it further to
add complex comprehension to the matter.
 Morality – is the individual’s capacity to know what is right from what is wrong
and applying this is personal and social situations.
 Moral – is defined as “the perceived sense of right that either comes from
societal, group, or personal preferences”

Level 1 – Pre-conventional Morality begins around the age of 9 years in the average. At
this level, our personal code of morality is not personal but is instead shaped externally –
implying that our morality at this level is based on the standards of adults and the
consequences of obeying or disobeying the rules they have set. This level has two
stages;
1. Obedience and punishment orientation – children avoid punishment by being in
 good order. Being punished meant something wrong was done.
2. Individualism and exchange – is transition to the next level because at this
stage, children realize that different persons have different beliefs or viewpoints
regarding a deed.
Level 2 – Conventional Morality = individuals begin to internalize the learned moral
standards they have with their valued adult role models. This level has two stages;
1. Good interpersonal relationships – the growing individual is good based on the
approval of others in his group.
2. Maintaining social order – wherein the individual becomes aware of a broader
set of rules in society resulting to judgement concerning rule compliance to
uphold the law system and avoid guilt.
Level 3 – Post-conventional Morality = an individual’s basis of his morality rests on self-
chosen principles.
1. Social contract and individual rights – the individual become aware that while
the laws and rules of a society exist for the good of the majority, there will be
instances that these may work contradictory to the preferences of particular
individuals or minority groups.
2. Universal Principles – implies that individuals have developed their own set of
moral guidelines which may not at all times fit the law of society. These set of
principles apply to everyone like in the case of human rights, justice, and
equality. During this stage, the individual would be able to go against the
majority or even the society to defend his morals.
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.
Psychological Development 1. Changes in the emotions, feelings, moods and manner of thinking.
2. Ongoing establishments of strongly-held beliefs, values, and goals in life.
3. During adolescence individuals undergo the process of self-evaluation which
leads to long-range goal setting, emotional and social independence, and
maturity.
Social development is about improving the well-being of every individual in society so
they can reach their full potential. The success of society is linked to the well-being of
each and every citizen. Social development means investing in people.
Social Development  You begin to rely more on your friends or peer groups for support than on your
family. However, you are more prone to peer pressure.
Socio-emotional Development The beauty of development is that it is not limited to oneself, but it branches out to
outside – to other people, specially.
 Latency Phase – wherein it was said, the sexual urges were latent yet it is also
where the individual learns to socialize and extend outward.
Spiritual Development Spiritual development is the development of the personality towards a religious or
spiritual desired better personality.
 You begin to have interest in spiritual concerns. You start pondering on
questions concerning existence, essence, spirituality, religion and God

YET AS HUMAN BEINGS, WE CANNOT HELP BUT BE IMPERFECT AS WE ARE. IT IS

NATURAL TO BE ANGRY, HURT, JEALOUS, ANXIOUS, DISGUSTED, OR HAPPY. IT IS
ALRIGHT TO FEEL. THE HARD PART TO FIGHT IS TO WHAT DIRECTION DO WE
EXPRESS OUR EMOTIONS ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NEGATIVE. HOW ONE COPES
WITH THE NEGATIVE AND BOUNCE BACK TO BE BETTER IS A GOOD TRAIT. IT IS ALSO
A GOOD TRAIT IF REGARDLESS OF THE TRIUMPS, AN INDIVIDUAL STILL CORRECTS
HIS OR HER WEAKNESSES AND IS OPEN TO CRITICISM.
