    Developmental Task

    Uploaded by

    Jess Arceo
    Robert Havighurst proposed that developmental tasks arise at certain periods in life to guide development. These tasks come from physical maturation, personal values, and societal pressures. He identified six major stages of human life from infancy to later maturity, with examples of typical developmental tasks for each stage, such as learning to walk in infancy, developing social roles in adolescence, selecting a mate in early adulthood, and adjusting to retirement in middle age. Developmental tasks act as guidelines for what individuals should learn and achieve at different life stages.

    Developmental Tasks

    Robert Havighurst (1972).

    “…A
    TASK WHICH ARISES AT OR
    ABOUT A CERTAIN PERIOD INTHE
    LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL.
    PURPOSES OF DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS

     They act as guidelines to make parents and teachers


    aware of what children should learn at a given age
    and what will be expected of children.
     They serve as motivating forces for children to learn
    what the social group expects them to learn at that
    age.
     They reveal to the individual about what happens in
    the further stages and hence the person is prepared
    to act accordingly.
    THREE SOURCES OF DEVELOPMENTAL
    TASKS
     Tasks that arise from physical maturation: : These
    include learning to walk, talk, control of bowel and
    urine, behaving in an acceptable manner to the
    opposite sex and adjusting to menopause.
     Tasks that arise from personal values: Examples
    include choosing an occupation and figuring out
    one’s philosophical outlook.
     Tasks that have their source in the pressures of
    society: For instance, we are required to learn to
    read and learn to be a responsible citizen.
