  11. Age Classifications • Chronological • Biological • Morphological • Dental • Sexual

  12. Historical Aspects of M.D. • Early researchers • “Maturational Period” • Normative-Descriptive Period” • “Process-Oriented Period”

  13. Current Trends • Dynamical Systems Theory • Lifespan Approach

  14. Importance of M.D. Why M.D. for Teacher Candidates in PETE?

  15. Assists in knowledge about DAPE • Developing a positive self-esteem
