The first child Kelly is a female grade six student aged eleven. The second child Frank is a male grade one student aged six. Although the children’s responses will be discussed together, testing was done individually. The data sheets containing summaries of their responses have been included at the end of this report in appendix A. Task 1 The first task in the series involved asking the children to draw a tree on each side of a steep mountain.
Determine the minimum required sample size if you want to be 80% confident that the sample mean is within 2 units of the population mean given sigma = 9.4. Assume the population is normally distributed. 24. A social service worker wants to estimate the true proportion of pregnant teenagers who miss at least one day of school per week on average. The social worker wants to be within 5% of the

Explain, to a person who has never had a course in statistics, what you have done. The mean is an average number in a set of data points. In order to determine the mean, you must add up all points, and divide that number by the total numbers added. In this case, there were 4 data points, so after adding them together, you must then divide by the number 4.

The last of the sensorimotor stage is the tertiary circular reaction. A toddler is about twelve to twenty four months when the tertiary circular reaction takes place. He or she will develop mental representation. In the sensorimotor study, Piaget wanted to know when children acquired object permanence. Piaget hid a toy under a blanket, while the child was watching, and observed whether or
Reflection on Middle Childhood Middle Childhood is a period of time in which children gain a sense of self and build on cognitive abilities learned in Early Childhood. Sigmund Freud labeled this time in a child’s life the “latency stage” because sexual and aggressive urges are repressed, and possibly because physical growth is slow and steady. The subject of my middle childhood interview was Lisa, a nine-year-old Caucasian female in her home located in Highland Park, as well as a twenty minute observation across the street at a neighborhood park. She is an only child that lives with her mother in an apartment and visits her father in Stephenville twice a month, as well as two months every summer. Lisa’s mother, a teacher in DISD, divorced the father four years ago and intentionally moved to Highland Park for the quality of the school district.
This is supported and was shown by McConachy’s study of gender stability where they asked young children to identify the sex of a doll. They found that children aged 3.5 to 4 used hair length to decide on the sex of the doll. The third and final stage is gender constancy or consistency. At around 6-7, children realise that gender is permanent; if a woman has her head shaven, she is still female. Gender understanding is only complete when a child appreciates that gender is permanent over time and different situations.

ABSTRACT The study area was the Tolon/Kumbungu district in the Northern region of Ghana with the ultimate aim of the research being finding out the effect of maternal education and child feeding practices on nutritional status of children (0-48 months). Mothers were interviewed on their educational background and the feeding practices they adopt for their children as well as taking anthropometric measurements of these children. A total of 200 mothers and their children (0-48months) were sampled from 10 communities in the 5 sub-districts of the Tolon/Kumbungu district. Data collected using questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS and results presented in tables and figures. Our research findings showed that maternal education level in the district is low as 75% of mothers had never attended school.
