STRAND FOUR: INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AND IDENTITY
STRAND FOUR: INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AND IDENTITY
- Questions related to identity and development, which are important in psychology, sociology, and anthropology, are central to the understanding of who we are. Such questions include: How do individuals grow and change physically, emotionally, and intellectually? Why do individuals behave as they do?
- The study of individual development and identity will help students to describe factors important to the development of personal identity. They will explore the influence of peoples, places, and environments on personal development. Students will hone personal skills such as demonstrating self-direction when working towards and accomplishing personal goals, and making an effort to understand others and their beliefs, feelings, and convictions.
