1.1 Understanding the Domains of Development
1.1.1 Cognitive Domain
Cognitive development is about how children think and learn. It involves mental
processes like remembering, paying attention, solving problems, and making
decisions. Children also learn language and how to communicate ideas. According
to the study guide (Section 1.3.2), this domain is affected by both the child’s abilities
and their environment.
1.1.2 Physical Domain
This domain is about the child’s body and how it works. It includes physical features
like gender and eye colour, and abilities like movement, balance, and coordination.
According to the study guide (Section 1.3.1), children learn by using their bodies and
senses. Good nutrition and exercise support physical growth, while things like illness
or malnutrition can be barriers.
1.1.3 Social Domain
Social development involves learning how to interact with other people. Children
learn social rules, communication, and relationship skills from family, friends, and
school. According to the study guide (Section 1.3.4), children build relationships,
discover who they are in a group, and develop a social identity through interaction.
1.1.4 Emotional Domain
This domain is about feelings and how children express them. Children must learn to
understand emotions like happiness, sadness, or anger, and express them in healthy
ways. The study guide (Section 1.3.3) explains that emotional control is important for
mental health and impacts how a child functions in other areas.
