ORIENTATION to PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
COURSE METHOD:
PERDEV uses the experiential learning approach, wherein you as a student will participate
in activities in class to explore specific themes in your development. You will interact with your
classmates, do projects with them, discuss various topics, and share your own thoughts, feelings
and experiences. You will also make personal reflections and write them down. In this manner
of self-refection and sharing, you shall help reveal and articulate relevant concepts, theories, and
tools in different areas of your life.
YOU’RE TEACHER:
Your teacher is the guide and facilitator of this course. He/she shall lead the activities by
giving instructions and supervising the procedures. However, since the subject matter is yourself,
the success of the modules depends on the participation and cooperation of you and your
classmates.
3
you will store all the reflections, research outputs, journal entries, survey questionnaires, and other
written materials and artwork which you do as class work, seatwork, or homework for PERDEV.
At the end of each unit, your teacher shall collect your portfolio and give you a grade based on the
completeness and quality of your work, your class attendance and participation, and other special
requirements that you agree on in the beginning of the semester.
Introductory Message

CHAPTER 4 DEVELOPMENT STAGES IN MIDDLE

your parents usually complain or praise about you.

Adolescence—Between Childhood and Adulthood
Do you remember the feeling you had when you finally celebrated your 13 th birthday, which
symbolized your crossing over the developmental stage of childhood to teen-hood? There was probably
some sadness because you realized you were not a child anymore. You probably felt some excitement
because suddenly you have strong needs and desires to be with people your age, making friends, and having
fun without your family. You also must have felt afraid of the future. You also started to notice certain
physical changes happening to your body—the growth of hair in the armpits and the public area, the increase
in height, and for the males, the deepening of the voice. For females, it is the start of their menstruation
period and the developing of their breasts. These physical changes mark the onset of puberty, and the
beginning of the adolescent stage of the human development.
As adolescents develop physically, they also develop cognitively, psychologically, socially,
and spiritually.
The ages during adolescence may be bracketed as follows (Corpus et al. 2010):
Early adolescence – ages around 10 to 13
7
Middle adolescence – ages 14 to 16
Late adolescence – ages from 17 to 20
American psychologists differ slightly with their age definitions of adolescence. Feist and
Rosenberg (2012) pegged early adolescence at age 11 or 12, and late adolescence at about age 18. Hence,
in America, a child is usually out of the house by the age 18 because this is the age on how they define
young adulthood. This age definition of adolescence is not a cut-and-dried rule as some persons mature
ahead of others, or some experience delayed maturity due to many factors like genetics, environment, or
even economic conditions.
Erik Erikson’s eight stages of personality development define each stage of human
development with a crisis or a conflict either gets resolved or may be left unresolved, resulting in favourable
or unfavourable outcomes.
In referring to these eight stages of development espoused by Erikson, it is important to know
that the stages are borderless and flowing, not strictly fixed and definite. An adolescent who is experiencing
identity issues may also be experiencing intimacy issues (young adulthood) or may still be struggling with
inferiority (of school age), depending on whether or not they were able to resolve each stage crisis.

Reflection:
1. What did you learn from the video?
2. What do you think about the speaker’s observations about the adolescent brain?
3. How does this apply to the Filipino adolescent?
The study enumerated ten desirable developmental tasks every adolescent in America should develop:
1. Adjust to sexually maturing bodies and feelings –being aware of the bodily changes happening,
managing sexual feelings, and engaging in healthy sexual behaviours. Establishing sexual identity
and developing skills for romantic and meaningful relationships are the healthy results when
adolescents learn to adjust to their own development.
2. Develop and apply abstract thinking skills –effectively understand and coordinate abstract ideas,
thinking out possibilities, trying out theories, planning ahead, reflecting on how and what they are
thinking, and coming out with their own personal philosophies.
3. Develop and apply a new perspective on human relationships—developing the capacity for
compassion by learning how to put themselves in “somebody else’s shoes” in order to understand
other people’s feelings and perspectives can develop in learning how to resolve conflicts in
relationships.
4. Develop and Apply new coping skills in areas such as decision-making, problem-solving, and
conflict resolution—adolescents acquire new thinking capabilities that will help them engage in
more creative strategies for problem solving, decision-making, and resolving conflict. They should
be able to project toward the future and see the consequences of their decisions.
5. Identify meaningful moral standards, values, and be life systems—because of their idealism,
adolescents develop more complex understanding of morality, justice, and compassion that leads
to the formation of their own belief systems that will guide their decisions and behaviours.
6. Understand and express more complex emotional experiences—becoming more in touch with
their emotions and see the complex variances among strong emotions and feelings, understanding
the emotions and feelings of other persons, and learning how to detach themselves from emotional
situations whenever the need arises.
7. Form friendships that are mutually close and supportive—peer influence is very strong among
adolescents and this should be able to steer an adolescent toward productive and positive
relationships, behaviour and thinking. Learning how to trust others is an important task for an
adolescent to develop.
8. Establish key aspects of identify—be encouraged to develop their own healthy self-concepts that
reflect their uniqueness in relation to themselves, their families and friends, and with the bigger
community.
9. Meet the demands of increasingly mature roles and responsibilities—it is important for the
emerging adult to acquire skills and knowledge that will provide him with meaningful careers and
jobs and to live up to the expectations regarding commitment to family, community, and nation-
building.
10. Renegotiate relationships with adults in parenting roles—the adolescent stage sees the
movement toward independence and autonomy. In the Philippine setting, this is not as pronounced
as with other western cultures. However, Filipino adolescents should be able to communicate with
their need for a certain degree of independence as they mature to young adulthood.
10
Filipino authors Corpuz et al. (2010) in their book, Child and Adolescent Development. Identified
similar developmental tasks a Filipino adolescent needs to learn. These are:
1. Developing Occupational Skills—skills that can help the adolescent develop responsibility as a
preparation for gainful employment ahead.
2. Self-reliance—the ability to identify their own skills and knowledge, capabilities, and resources to
engage in meaningful activities and not rely too much on others.
3. Ability to manage their finances—be able to discern what is the difference between “wants” and
“needs,” and be able to learn self-control when handling their finances. As early as possible, the
adolescent should learn financial literacy through various means available to them.
4. Social Responsibility—adolescents should be able to see beyond themselves, take into
consideration the greater community around them, and see their role in improving and developoing
these communities, serving as change agents.
5. Mature work orientation—develop pride in what they do and raise standards of excellence in the
quality of their work.
6. Personal Responsibility—to be fully responsible for their own decisions and actions by owning
them, become aware of the repercussions or results of the decisions they make and be mature
enough to “own” these results, and refrain from putting blame on others for the results of their
decisions and actions.
7. Positive attitude toward work—in the book, The Prophet by the Lebanese poet, Kahlil Gibran,
he wrote, “Work is Love made visible.” Developing a healthy and positive attitude toward work
means that we see work as an expression of our love for people who are important to us, including
ourselves. One can learn new things and grow to become highly skilled, knowledgeable, and loving
person if he or she sees work as a way toward self-improvement and as an expression of love for
his or her significant others.
Here is an additional list of developmental tasks and skills a Filipino adolescent should acquire:
1. Being courageous in standing up and being different form your friends. The adolescent needs
to feel he or she belongs to a group. While this is important, belonging to a group does not
necessarily mean losing one’s identity and being guided by “mob rule,” or what the majority does.
This is especially effective when being offered to smoke a cigarette or to drink alcohol beverages,
or even to try out dangerous drugs. Being courageous means learning to say “NO” to what one
thinks is going against his or her belief and values system even if this would mean rejection by the
group.
2. Developing self-esteem. Lean to understand, accept, and appreciate oneself as a unique person.
Avoiding comparisons between you and other people is also a healthy way to develop self-esteem.
3. Being true to yourself and avoiding the tendency to please others. Adolescents find it difficult
to assert their individuality or uniqueness because they are afraid others will not approve or like
them, or will not allow them to become a member of a group. Conformity often occurs during this
stage of development. By developing one’s self-esteem, the need for approval from others becomes
less.
4. Learning how media and advertising are trying to influence your thinking and feelings.
Understand that news is reported for a lesson, usually to serve the purpose of someone or some
organization. Understand that advertising employed to sell consumer products work on either fear
or desires.
5. Becoming aware, critical, and being involved with social issues. Ask questions and speak up
whenever possible to address social issues such as poverty and corruption. Let our leaders know
how you think and feel about society, and learn to suggest solutions in improving our lives.
6. Embracing a healthy lifestyle. Becoming aware of your health and the food you eat, and engaging
in sports and other physical activities beneficial to your well-being. Learn to relax.
7. Developing your spirituality. Finding what gives meaning to your life and to all the experiences
you are going through.
Reflection: which of these skills and tasks have you learned and acquired? What other
developmental tasks and skills do you think you need to develop and learn? Feel free to add
on to the lists given above.
11
Explain
1. What changes happen during adolescence?
2. Which of these changes are you experiencing now? What changes have you experienced?
Elaborate
1. Examine your thoughts and behaviour and explain how these are affected by the changes
happening to your physical body and to your brain development.
2. Which developmental task and skill do you want t develop for yourself? How will you
develop them?
3. What other factors, aside from those that were discussed, do you think influence or
determine self-identity or self-concept?
Evaluate
1. Observe the patterns of thoughts and behaviours of some of your peers. What do you notice
about them? What developmental tasks and skills do you think they need to learn in order
for them to grow as persons and as young adults?
Extend
List ways on how you can become a more responsible adolescent and develop into
responsible adults and better persons. Share your list with ten other friends who will share their
own list with you. Look at their lists and provide them with feedback on what you think are doable
and what are not. Discuss it in your own opinion. As an individual, come up with a list of common
responsibilities and choose one common responsibility you can do for your community for an
individual project. Create a project plan and share it with your classmates (or you can choose 1-3
classmates) through messenger.
