DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENT
Dr. T. Ponmalini 16
Characteristics of Development
Directional & sequential
Continuous
Results in functioning of the individual
Complex process
Individual differences
Not uniform (may be spiral not linear)
Maturation & learning
Stimulating Environment
Modelling of parents, teachers & others
Qualitative in nature (through observation)
Possible even without growth
Dr. T. Ponmalini 17
S.No GROWTH DEVELOPMENT
1. Quantitative Qualitative
2. Increase in size, cell number etc. Improvement of organs & increase in their
efficiency of functioning.
3. Physical aspects Physical and psychological aspects

5. does not continue continues throughout life
6. One aspect of development Complex and multisided
7. Not directional Progressive & sequential

IMPORTANCE OF GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT
Dr. T. Ponmalini 23
Growth and maturation are certainly
related, distinguishing between them is
important because some physiological and
hormonal processes affect growth and
maturation differentially.
It is easy to observe that children of the
same size can differ in maturational status.
Dr. T. Ponmalini 24
PRINCIPLES OF GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Principle of Continuity
Principle of individual differences
Rate of growth & development is not uniform
Uniformity of pattern
Development proceeds from general to specific responses
Principle of integration
Principle of inter-relation
Development is predictable
Growth * Development = Heredity * Environment
Growth proceeds from head to trunk, centre to extremities
