Principles of Growth and Development are important for CTET, KVS, HTET, PSTET, UPTET, MPTET and RAJTET Preparation. Following are the principles of Growth and Development:
1. Principle of Continuity
Development follows continuity. It starts with the birth and ends with the death. It is a continuous process in various dimensions.
2. Individual Differences
As no two individuals are same their habit, memory, creativity intelligence etc. differ from each other. So growth and development will also not be same and each will grow at his own unique rate.
3. Correlation and Integration
All types of developments are correlated and integrated with each other. Each area of development is dependent on the other and influences the other development like a child wo is physically healthy is likely to have better social and emotional stability.
4. Universality
All over the world the growth and development process of child will be same as process of child from birth to maturity will be same all over the world.
5. Predictability
Based on the rate of growth and development of the child, it is possible to predict the possible range of growth and development of child. Eg if a child play with screw or electric material one may predict or assume that he will be engineer.
6. General to Specific
In all phases of child development, general activity precedes specific activity. Eg children learn one word “pa pa” then they learns other specific word in language development.
7. Direction
Development follows a pattern or a sequence. Each child has a different rate of development. However the development of all human beings follows a similar pattern, similar sequence or direction.
8. Spiral not Linear - Development is Spiral not Linear
The child does not proceed straight on the development path with a steady speed. The child makes advancement during a particular period but takes rest in the following period to consolidate his development. Therefore he turns back and move forward again like a spiral.
9. Growth and Development is a joint product of both hereditary and environment
At any stage of growth and development of child the hereditary and environment directly or indirectly influence his growth and development in any dimension at all times.
