Unit 11 Adolescence - EDU 116 - Development of the Young Child - Textbook - LibGuides at Hostos Community College Library

Module 1: Introduction to Adolescence

Objective: Students will be able to examine how children develop during adolescence.

Introduction to Adolescence
Adolescence is a period that begins with puberty and ends with the transition to adulthood (approximately ages 10–20).

Module 2: Physical Development

Objective: Students will be able to explain the process of physical development during adolescence.

Physical Development
Adolescence begins with puberty. While the sequence of physical changes in puberty is predictable, the onset and pace of puberty vary widely. Several physical changes occur during puberty, such as adrenarche and gonadarche, the maturing of the adrenal glands and sex glands, respectively.

Module 3: Cognitive Development

Objective: Students will be able to discuss how children develop intelligence during adolescence.

Cognitive Development
More complex thinking abilities emerge during adolescence. Some researchers suggest this is due to increases in processing speed and efficiency rather than as the result of an increase in mental capacity—in other words, due to improvements in existing skills rather than development of new ones

Module 4: Social Development

Objective: Students will be able to discuss the social growth of children during adolescence.

Social Development
Adolescents continue to refine their sense of self as they relate to others. Erikson referred to the task of the adolescent as one of identity versus role confusion. Thus, in Erikson’s view, an adolescent’s main questions are “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to be?”

Module 5: Adolescence Video

Objective: Students will be able to examine how physical, cognitive, and social development interrelate in adolescence.
