between maturation and learning

2) The pattern of development can be general /
special
3) There are individual differences in the
development .

Development principles
4) There are periods in the development
pattern
5) There are developmental tasks on each
development period.

1) The development is the result of interaction

between maturation and learning
maturation addressed to the readiness of the

children and obtained from himself

Learning is an activity that comes from
training and efforts
The forms: Imitation, Identification,
Training, Trial and Error

as a guide for parents and other educators in

guiding their students

Assessment must be
Valid
Educative

The process
1. What information do we need?
The attitude of the child
Children knowledge and skill

2. Ways to collect the data

Focus on the observation
Product
interview
From the children, parents, peers, etc.

3. Data collection through:

Self assessment: Reflection

learn human development is very
important to understand how the child
learns at school.
As an educator, sometimes I feel
frustated in dealing with children who
are very difficult to handle.
Many problems should be solved. By the
end I would understand this problem
after I read and discuss about the
human development.

The development of social emotional,

physical, and intellectual of a child
must Perkembangan be equal.
In Indonesian education system,
mostly schools develop the
intellectual development onlu, and
pay less attention on other aspects.
A school will feel super if the
students gets high scores in the test.

Theories of child development from

john Locke ,Rousseau give me
confidence about what I am having
now. Their theories help me in
seeing the child development.

The interesting lesson is when I am

learniing about the grade promotion.
Some opinions, as I believe by the
nativist, remediationist, diagnostic
perspective & interactionist, really
help me in giving explanation to
parents when giving information
whether their children go to the next
grade or not.

Remembering this information

is very important for educators
and parents.
I must prepare myself to share
what I get to change their
paradigm about children
development.

What shall we put in while

writing reflection?
Information obtained during the study
Opinions on the information obtained
Feelings toward what being / has been

studied
What other information you want to know?

4. How data should be written?

Anecdotal notes
Checklists

5. What do we do with information?

relates with the research
making decision
overview on conclusions
Focus on the treatment decision
Making treatment planning

6. How to share information

Report
Portfolio
learning process
conference
communication book

Portfolio
1. to reflect what have been studied and gained

by the students in a certain period of time.
