In the previous episode, we discussed intellectual development. Today we are going to talk about social identity development. Identity is another crucial aspect that can affect learning. The development of identity involves psychological changes that influence behaviours. According to German-American psychologist Erik H. Erikson, the basic premise of identity theory is that identity is not given. Identity needs to be achieved and continually negotiated as individuals try to balance developmental tensions and move forward in their lives. For students, their identity development starts when they start to question values and assumptions instilled by parents and society and begin to develop their own values and priorities.
