(Thomas L. Crandell, 2009) Bronfenbrenner Ecological Systems Theory has many systems within the environment that interact with each other and shapes an individual’s development. The most basic of these systems is the Microsystem. The Microsystem is the innermost environmental layer. The micro system is the Layer closest to the child. This includes family, childcare, neighbourhood and school life.
Perhaps if an individual learns how to apply the steps in personal relationships he or she can move forward in using the steps in the community and society both local and global to better humankind. Chosen article Teachers are at the center of conflict resolution and peacemaking. The article is about the role teacher’s play when dealing with preschoolers and the conflicts that arise. The title of the article is Teacher intervention and U.S. preschoolers’ natural conflict resolution after aggressive competition. The article reviews a study of when a teacher should intervene in the conflict that arises between preschoolers.
The major areas of development include biological, cognitive and social and emotional development. Both of these psychologists were concerned with the study of understanding the area of cognitive development specifically in children and were considered to be constructivists. Constructivism is the theory in which “learners actively construct their own knowledge based upon the things they know now and have known in the past” (TFL resources, 2006). This essay will seek to compare and contrast the theories of psychologists Piaget and Vygotsky and will critically look at their theories to judge which aspects are appropriate for the long term. Jean Piaget focused his research on studying children and observing their thought processes.
Descriptive epidemiology is examining the occurrence of health-related problems surrounding childhood poverty. The necessary data is being collected including time and place of occurrence and the characteristics of the children affected. Tentative theories have been and are currently being generated from the collected data, the initial hypotheses are formed, and additional hypotheses are being formed (Miller-Kean, 2003, para. 4). The second stage of the epidemiologic study of the health-related effects of childhood poverty in the United States, analytic epidemiology, is testing hypotheses generated in the first stage of epidemiologic study
What legislation is there in place to safeguard children and vulnerable adults? Children’s act 2004 The children’s act 2004 is a legislation that is put in place to ensure that children are safeguarded and protected. The children’s act 2004 was passed on the 15th of November 2004.The children’s act 2004 was accompanied by the launch of a major strategy document for English authorities. This was a green paper every child matters which is set out to support children and their families. Setting out five outcomes and support them to be • Safe • Healthy • Enjoy and achieve • Economic well being • Positive contribution to society The children’s act changed law to protect children, and changed the laws on how to deal with issues that are to do with children.
Procedures and Polices of the organisational kind are; Department of Health 2001a (A new strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century i.e. valuing people in, equal life chances and citizenship of individuals with learning disabilities. Explain how this legislation and policies influence the day-to-day experiences of individuals with learning disabilities and their families. The influence that legislation and policies have on the day-to-day experiences of an individual with a learning disability and of their families is as follows i.e. covert discrimination; overt discrimination; harassment; rights; labelling; vulnerability; stereotyping; inclusion; prejudice; empowerment; abuse; opportunity and equality Understand the nature and characteristics of learning disability.
Assignment Three: Social Context of Child Development Jamie Breckenridge HHC0042: Child Development: An Introduction Dr. Shaku Brar April 2013 Assignment Three: Social Context of Child Development Researchers are continually attempting to sort out to what extent of human behavior is a result of nature (hereditary) or nurture (environmental influences). Cognitive development theorists and biological theorists believe in natural explorations of development where learning theorists believe more in the environmental influences. Cognitive theorists focus more on human mental process, and investigate into ways in which children perceive and mentally represent the world, how they develop using logic and problem solving methods. Cognitive developmental theory was developed by Jean Piaget (1896-1980) whom regarded children as natural physicists who consciously intend to learn about and take intellectual charge of the world around them. For example; Piaget believed that children, whom squish their food and laugh about it, are often growing scientists studying the texture of their food, and their caregiver’s reaction.
Andy Lau 7/22/2011 English1A Essay#2 Final Draft In the book Unequal Childhoods, Annette Lareau identifies and analyzes what she calls “cultural repertories” (P.4) that supports learning. Lareau argues that cultural repertoires (attitudes and behaviors about learning) differ between middle class families, working class and poor families. Middle class families generally raise their children according to the logic of what she terms “concerted cultivation” while in working class and poor families’ childrearing practices tend to align with the logic of “accomplishment of natural growth”. Lareau’s research is representative of a large body of work that demonstrates it is culture and cultural repertoires based in family and community that are at the heart of successful learning and education. Nevertheless, her conclusion is balanced.
Basic Assumptions of Krumboltz’s Theory This manuscript will explore a class assignment, “Career Development Theory Paper”. The assignment is an undertaking designed to increase counselors’ knowledge and understanding of career development theories, thus obtaining a better understanding of the application of these theories in an effort to better serve our consumers. This paper will discuss Krumboltz’s theory, which is comprised of the Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making (SLTCDM), Learning Theory of Career Choice and Counseling (LTCC), and Planned Happenstance. The development of Krumboltz’s theory was preceded by a vast history of career development theories whose origins began in the early 1900s. The bulk of these theories did not reflect the true experiences encountered by individuals with disabilities, as suggested by Parker & Szymanski: “…almost no systemic attention was paid to conceptualizing the career development of persons with disabilities until the middle 1960s” (2003, p. 92).
Erikson’s Theory of Development When psychologists discuss identity, they are alluding to the beliefs, ideals and values that help shape and aide an individual’s behavior (Cherry, 2014a). Development of identity is something that starts in childhood and becomes imperative during adolescence and, as per Eric Erikson, this proceeds throughout life (Cherry, 2014a). Continuing development as we age, our individual character gives everyone a facilitated feeling of self. Eric Erikson was an ego psychologist who developed one of the most popular and influential theories of development (McLeod, 2008). Centered on psychosocial development rather than psychosexual development, Erikson’s theory is influenced by Freud (Cherry, 2014a).
