EDU 02: DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVENESS OF THE LEARNER

SEMINAR

TOPIC: ROLE OF HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT FOR PERSONALITY

Heredity means the transference of the characteristics of parents to their offsprings through genes in the chromosomes.  By the heredity of an individual we means all those inborn physical and mental traits that he inherits from his parents and ancestors.  Every child comes into this world with certain physical and mental features, which he got from his parents.  He is born in with a body and mind, which developed from the fertilized ovum he got from his mother and father.  He starts his life with a specific type of behaviour and a certain sort of temperament.  All these traits, mental and physical, constitute his heredity.

        By environment we mean all type physical and mental factors that affect and influence the development of an individual.  The home, the family, the neighbourhood, the peer group, the school and the entire community with their temperaments and mental traits constitute his environment.  Everything that influences him apart from his inherited traits constitutes his environment.

        There is considerable evidence that physical traits such a colour of the eye and skin, blood types, colour blindness and the tendencies to be tall or short, follow the law of heredity.  But there is practically no evidence to prove to what extent mental traits such as intelligence and aptitude are inherited
