Welcome to this course, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, or PERDEV for

short. This is a very interesting course, and can become the most personally
rewarding for you, because the subject matter for this course is YOU! As a
new senior high school student, you have now entered a new educational
level, as well as a new psychological and social level, called the middle and
late adolescence. You may feel that you are no longer the rapidly growing
and awkward teenager, but you also feel you are not quite ready to call
yourself a mature adult either. This course shall make you take a deeper
look at yourself and analyze your developmental changes, your skills and
traits which can help you meet the various tasks that you must undertake
at this point in your life. It shall provide you with some techniques to meet
stress and other mental health issues with one’s strengths and coping
powers. The course shall also give you the chance to analyze your
relationships with your family, friends and significant others. Finally, the
PERDEV course shall help you take stock of where you are in your career
development and how to get to where you want to be.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-
Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin
in partnership with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Vico Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

DEVELOPMENTAL Tasks Theory

Robert J. Havighurst elaborated on the Developmental Tasks Theory
in the most systematic and extensive manner. His main assertion is that
development is continuous throughout the entire lifespan, occurring in
stages, where the individual moves from one stage to the next by means of
successful resolution of problems or performance of developmental tasks.
These tasks are those that are typically encountered by most people in the
culture where the individual belongs. If the person successfully
accomplishes and masters the developmental task, he feels pride and
satisfaction, and consequently earns his community or society’s approval.
This success provides a sound foundation which allows the individual to
accomplish tasks to be encountered at later stages. Conversely, if the
individual is not successful at accomplishing a task, he is unhappy and is
not accorded the desired approval by society, resulting in the subsequent
experience of difficulty when faced with succeeding developmental tasks.
This theory presents the individual as an active learner who continually
interacts with a similarly active social environment. Havighurst proposed a
bio psychosocial model of development, wherein the developmental tasks at
each stage are influenced by the individual’s biology (physiological
maturation and genetic makeup), his psychology (personal values and goals)
and sociology (specific culture to which the individual belongs).
