Lesson
Five Areas of Personal
1 Development
Human development is the way that people change and grow across their life
span. There are many types of development that people go through. As children learn
problem-solving skills, their cognitive (or thinking) development grows. When people
age, they often develop wisdom, which means they are better able to handle stress, a
process that is part of emotional development.

WHAT’S IN
As discussed in the previous module, Personality refers to how an individual
uniquely thinks feels and behaves in different situations. As we look back, below are
some questions to ponder. Answer the following questions on the space provided.
1. How do you know your personality?
 2. Why is it important to know yourself better? What are the things you want to
develop and improve within yourself?

3. Is there importance in understanding and studying yourself, especially when you

feel helpless and quarantine in your own home? Cite some reasons.

4. How do you feel for those who early give up in life such as news about suicide, the
feeling of hopelessness, and other sad news? If you are in their position, what will
you do? Explain your answer..

5. What is the best way to describe the self? State your belief and philosophy.

WHAT’S NEW
Before we proceed to the lesson, let me ask first, “How well do you know yourself?”
Have you noticed those “changes” within yourself, and how do you react to those
developments?

ACTIVITY 1.1: Self-assessment (Critical thinking, Character)

Instruction: Assess yourself based on the following statement. The

highestrate is 5 and the lowest is 1.

Statement Rate
1 2 3 4 5
1. I have a healthy physical body

2. I get enough rest and sleep

3. My body is fed with nutritious food

and sufficient water to help the
physiological system functions
more optimally

4. I suffer from body aches and pains

5. During this pandemic crisis, I

consider myself as safe from
viruses and diseases

6. I am an emotional person
 7. I easily get angry

8. I am friendly

9. I have good study habits

10.I am a spiritual person

Analysis: After having a brief self-assessment regarding your physical,

emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual development, what are the things
you want to improve or develop further? Why is this so?

WHAT IS IT
Life seems to have become a bewildering maze at times. Thus, you try to reflect on
your common beliefs. Amidst these developments, it helps recognize how the
different physiological, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and social developments are
in a dynamic relationship. By recognizing such changes, you can understand and
evaluate your thoughts.

The following section discusses how to develops one’s personality and to make it well
balanced.

Five Areas of Personal Development

Area Development
Physiological development Refers to physical changes in the body
as well as the senses and changes in
skills related to movement.
Emotional development It has something to do with the feelings
that you experience.
Social development It is about our innate capacity to relate
with others, to connect, and to feel the
sense of belongingness
Cognitive development Refers to a person’s intellectual abilities
as shown in his/her thoughts,
attitudes, beliefs and values.
Spiritual development It is discovering oneself beyond the ego
known as the soul, spirit, or the “inner
essence” that is often disregarded or
taken for granted. It is experiencing a
glimpse of the “inner guide” of one’s
beliefs and values in discovering the
meaning of life.
PHYSIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

Physical health is defined as the condition of your body, taking into consideration
everything from the absence of disease to fitness level.
Physical health is critical for overall well-being and can be affected by:
• Lifestyle: diet, level of physical activity, and behavior (eating unhealthy
foods);
• Human biology: a person’s genetics and physiology may make it easier or
harder to achieve good physical health;
• Environment: our surroundings and exposure to factors such as sunlight or
toxic substances; and
• Healthcare service: good healthcare can help prevent illness, as well as to
detect and treat illness

It is important to take care of your body. Live healthy, eat healthy foods, get enough
sleep, exercise regularly, and avoid drugs and alcohol. Manage stress and go for
regular medical check-ups. Practice good hygiene.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Physiological Development.

1. How healthy is your physical body?
2. Does it get enough rest and sleep?
3. Is it given nutritional food and sufficient water to help the physiological
system do its functions more optimally?
4. What aches and pains does your body suffer?
5. When was your last medical check-up?
6. What are the common illnesses in your family?
7. If you look into generations before, what sickness plagued your
ancestors?
8. In the pandemic crisis, do you consider yourself safe from such viruses
and diseases?

EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Emotional health is an important part of overall health. Emotionally healthy people
are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They can cope with life’s
challenges. Emotions are responses that generate biochemical reactions in our
bodies, changing the physical state.
There are many ways to improve or maintain good emotional health.
• Be aware of your emotions and reactions. Notice what in your life makes you
sad, frustrated, or angry. Try to address or change those things.
• Think before you act. Emotions can be powerful. Give yourself time to think,
and be calm before you say or do something you might regret.
• Manage stress. Try to change situations, causing you stress. Learn relaxation
methods to cope with stress.
• Strive for balance. Find a healthy balance between work and play and between
activity and rest. Make time for things you enjoy. Focus on positive things in
your life.
• Take care of your physical health. Your physical health can affect your
emotional health. Exercise regularly, eat healthy meals and get enough sleep.
Do not abuse drugs or alcohol.
• Connect with others. We are social creatures. We need positive connections
 with other people.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Emotional Development:

Your own experiences when you are
-happy -sad -afraid
-surprised -angry -disgusted

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Social Development refers to how people develop social and emotional skills across
the lifespan, with particular attention to childhood and adolescence. Healthy social
development allows us to form positive relationships with family, friends, teachers,
and other people in our lives.

As a person develop and perceive its individuality within a community, he/she also
gains skills to communicate with other people and process his/her actions. Social
development most often refers to how a person develops friendships and other
relationships and how a person handles conflict with peers.

Why is social development important?

Social development can impact many other forms of development a person
experiences. Healthy social development allows us to form positive relationships
with family, friends, teachers, and other people.
Healthy social development can help you:
• Develop Communication Skills. An ability to interact with others allows for
more opportunities to practice communications skills
• Build self-esteem. When a person is unable to make friends, it can be
frustrating or even painful. A good circle of friends reinforces a person’s
comfort level with her individuality.
• Strengthen learning skills. Studies show that children who have a hard time
getting along with classmates as early as a preschool are more likely to
experience later academic difficulties.
• Resolve conflicts. Stronger self-esteem and better language skills can
ultimately lead to a better ability to resolve differences with peers.
• Establish a positive attitude. A positive attitude ultimately leads to better
relationships with others and higher levels of self-confidence.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Emotional Development

1. How is your relationship with your parents?
2. Do you consider yourself as friendly? Why?
3. How do you interact with other people? Are you outgoing?
4. Do you feel belongingness in your family, school, peers?
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Cognitive development means how people think, explore, and figure things out. It is
the development of knowledge, skills, problem-solving, and dispositions, which
helps a person to think about and understand the world around them. Brain
development is part of cognitive development. This aspect of the self is enhanced
when one attends school to study and learn or engages in other mental endeavors.
Mental abilities are developed by engaging in intellectual pursuits such as studies,
work, and figuring out how best to deal with challenges—thinking, planning,
organizing, evaluating, and maximizing cognitive abilities. The more we study, the
more we learn; while the more we learn, the more we can study better.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Cognitive Development

1. Have you experienced mistakes in the choices you made? How do you deal with
these situations?
2. What is your attitude towards your study habits?
3. Are you doing well in your studies?

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT

Spiritual development is defined as discovering oneself beyond the ego known

as the soul, spirit, or the “inner essence” that is often disregarded or taken for granted
(Llaneza-Ramos, 2017). It is when one experiences a glimpse of the “inner guide” of
one’s beliefs and values as one discovers the meaning of life. It also allows people to
connect with a Higher Power that is called by many names like "God, Buddha, Allah.”
“We are Christians, we are committed to the poor, we value people, we are partners,
and are responsive.” As we grow spiritually, our attitude toward life also changes for
the better in many ways. Most of our problems stem from our perceptions and
expectations of ourselves and of the world. One will realize that this solves half the
problems of our life. Spiritual growth and development help us to imbibe humility.
Spirituality and inner peace is a way of life. It helps us to develop great strength and
courage. Spiritual growth and development help to make human beings better
citizens.

Self-check. Ask yourself regarding your Spiritual Development

1. How can you tell that you believe in “God”?
2. What are the things you do that manifest your spiritual development?
