  1. Unit 4 – Development through the Life Stages Knowing the stages of growth and development throughout the human lifespan - Lesson 1

  2. Learning Outcomes of Unit 4 • You will be able to: • Identify and define the stages of growth and development through the human lifespan, • Identify, define and apply the potential effects of life factors and events on the development of the individual, • Identify and define the physical and psychological changes of ageing.

  3. Unit 4 – description • This unit is about understanding the way we change over time. It explores the course of human development and the range of genetic, biological and social factors that influence how your life turns out. • You will ivestigate the major events whic affect people throghout their lifetime and look at the effect and look at how the effects of ageing, and theories about it.

  4. Key questions • Will you have a fixed life course where you can predict much of what will happen to you ? • How can people with genetic conditions be helped? • How far is life fixed for you by your genetic inheritance, or by the social and economic environment you grow up in? • How and why do we age? • What does it take to ensure that we are happy in our old age? • How can health and social care provision provide opportunities for older people to remain as active as they wish?

  5. Assessment and grading criteria

  6. Over to you !!!!! TPS Read Kiara story and answer the three questions in pairs

  7. What do you think ? Can someone become successful and famous just because they want to ? Do you believe that people can become important and successful because they are born to do well? What does later life hold for people ? How far does success and fame depend on your upbringing and your opportunities?

  8. Human growth • Human beings experience human growth as they increase in physical size or mass, • Physical process involves both height and weight gain, • Increase in size past the point of physical maturity is not expected (obesity, gigantism)

  9. Have a think Individually, complete the handout which you have been given you have 5 minutes to complete this task.

  10. Market Stall Task LIFE STAGES

  11. Life expectancy • Social Trends (2009) – boys born in 2006 can expect to live until 77, girls until 82. • Life expectancy is an average, not a limit as some may live longer than the set average,

  12. Life course • Life is a path of a human life cycle and the stages one goes through e.g. Infancy, childhood, adulthood, • Assumption that life course is purely controlled by biology as people get older a process of physical decline sets in and continues until that person dies, • SPRINGBOARD THEORY

  13. Key theorists (life course/life cycle) • Bromley (1966) – physical and social development , • Havighurst (1972) – life tasks, • Levinson et al (1978) – transitions which people go through their life course

  14. Storyboard Using the handout you have been given create your own storyboard representing the “Springboard” model of the life course.

  15. Think – Pair – Share How far can you choose your own life course ?

  16. 4 key concepts • Growth, • Development, • Maturation, • Developmental Norms, • Developmental Milestones.

  17. Growth • Definition: increase in quantity for example children grow taller as they get older. • As height and weight increases we can refer to the increase as a process of growth

  18. Development • Definition: changes that might be complex and involve a change in the quality of some ability such as language development. • Most social, intellectual or emotional change is described as development.

  19. Maturation • Definition: the term maturation is used when development is assumed due to a genetically programmed sequence of change. • Experiences of puberty can be explained as caused by an in-built genetic process which unfolds as you get older.

  20. Developmental norms/milestones • A norm is something which is expected, • Norms are a set of expectations which are expected to be attained at specific times during the life stages, • Milestones help us assess a journey that is being completed such as skills development,

  21. Research Task STEP 1 In groups of three using the laptops provided undertake an internet search to obtain a chart or list of developmental milestones. You have 10 minutes to complete this task STEP 2 Swap charts/findings with another groups and discuss the advantages/disadvantages of different styles of charts. 10 minutes

  22. Assignment 4.1 - Life stages

  23. Tell me three things... you have learnt today you have done well the group has done well you would like to find out more about you know now that you didn’t know 50 minutes ago
