 DIMENSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT

1. Physical/Physiological Development

In adolescence, this is marked by puberty where

changes in physical and brain structure and reproductive
system take place. In middle and late adolescence changes
in brain development also occur, allowing for executive
functions (planning, decision-making) to develop.
 2. Cognitive Development

Adolescent thinking is characterized as being more

abstract, integrative, and volitional. The adolescent has a
thorough and private access to inner processes and is capable of
evaluating his own actions.
 3. Social and Emotional Development

The development of the self and identify as well as the

refinement of emotional regulation are key factors to be
considered in adolescent development.
 4. Spirituality and Purpose in Life

Consistently, in Philippines studies, spirituality emerges as an

element that guides behavior. Western literature, on the other hand,
identifies spirituality and purpose in life as an evolution from self-
centered needs to outward goals that benefits others.
DEVELOPMENTAL TASK OF ADOLESCENCE

social domain, conflict resolution and interpersonal skills are identified as critical. In the
cognitive arena, a very important achievement would be decision-making, while
academic competence is seen in school performance.
 Confidence – is seen in overall self-worth and efficacy. This means achieving a level of
self-esteem that translates to a realization and belief that one can effectively deal with
the demands of the various contexts in which he or she finds himself or herself.

facilitates interaction between between one’s self and peers, family, school, and
community.

standards for correct behaviors and having a sense of right and wrong as well as integrity.
