Stages of Development and Developmental Task - Activity

The document discusses developmental tasks at different stages of childhood and adolescence and the role of teachers in facilitating learning. For early childhood, preschool teachers should focus on developing school readiness through play and integrating games into activities rather than being too academic. For middle and late childhood, elementary teachers prepare students for future education by teaching vital subjects like reading, science, and math, as well as developing critical thinking and problem solving skills. For adolescence, high school teachers should act as good role models, prepare students with knowledge about responsibilities and their subjects to excel. The reflection discusses experiences with developmental tasks and how teachers can best facilitate students' acquisition of skills by understanding developmental timelines and individual differences.

APPLICATION

Answer this question with a learning partner. What are the implications of these developmental task to
your role as a facilitator of learning? Let’s pay attention to the stages that correspond to schooling –
early childhood, middle and late childhood and adolescence.

Let’s do # 1. Early Childhood- What are preschool teachers supposed to do with pre-schoolers? Help
them develop readiness for school and not to be too academic in teaching approach. They ought to give
much time for pre-schoolers to play. Or perhaps help pre-schoolers develop school readiness by
integrating children’s games in school activities.

#2 – Middle and Late childhood

Elementary school teachers ought to help their pupils by

Elementary school teachers prepare younger students for future education by teaching them vital
subjects, such as reading, science and mathematics. They also help students develop critical thinking
skills, learn to solve problems and understand abstract ideas.

#3 – Adolescence

High school teachers ought to help their students by

They should be a good example or a good role model to high school students. They should also prepare
students so that the students will gain enough knowledge about what are the things that they should do
and not to do, and knowledge about their subjects also so that they can excel or increase their
knowledge.

REFLECTION

1. Reflect on your early childhood, middle and late childhood days. Were you able to Acquire the
developmental tasks expected of early, middle, late childhood and Adolescence? What
facilitated your acquisitions of the ability to perform such tasks?
 Adolescence it’s a physical change marked by an overall physical growth spurt and
sexual maturation, and you know the good and bad things or good or bad decision to
your life. And you know what is the best things to your life.
2. Having mastered the developmental task of early childhood middle and late childhood and
adolescence, reflect on what you should do as a teacher to facilitate your students Acquisition of
these developmental tasks.

 If it is a developmental skill, a student won’t be able to learn it until they are ready.
What a teacher can do is realize students are on their own developmental time line and
even though in general students of a certain age are at a certain level all may not be
Reading is a good example of a developmental skill addressed by teachers. A child
whose brain is not ready to read will not read no matter what a teacher does. You can’t
teach developmental skills, you can only encourage them and feed them once the child
is ready and so the best thing a teacher can do is be aware of what skills actually are
developmental (or not) and then be sensitive and responsive to the needs of individual
students in the class.
