Throughout history there have been people that produced works and findings that have aided the understanding of human behaviour, how we work, learn and interact. These theorists have created theories of works that we still use now a day to function in society and education. I have selected 3 theorists that I believe still influence education today. Piaget Before Piaget’s work, the common assumption in psychology was that children are merely less competent thinkers than adults. Piaget showed that young children think in strikingly different ways compared to adults.
In her essay “Kiddy Thinks,” Alison Gopnik discusses the importance of the cognitive development of children in the first few years of their life. She also attempts to break the traditional view that children, in their early stages, think quite differently than adults. Gopnik uses a logical standard of evaluation to provide information on the different stages children go through when developing important cognitive skills. She supports her information with a variety of experiments as a researcher, and personal experiences as a parent. Unfortunately, she concludes her essay with political and social issues, which weakens her argument as it drifts away from her purpose.
Using a combination of behavioural measures, mainly proximity seeking and maintenance of proximity, Ainsworth classified infants as securely attached, anxious avoidant or anxious resistant. In the middle class US samples, 65% of infants were categorized as secure with the remainder equally distributed across the other two types. Ainsworth research led her to two conclusions, firstly there are different types of attachments and these types are differentiated in observed attachment behaviours. Secondly, the type of attachment between a mother and child is dependent upon the mother sensitivity and responsiveness to the child. Ainsworth said that an anxious avoidant child ignores their mother, seems indifferent, is easily comforted, they treat mother and stranger the same.
Unit title: Work with babies and young children to promote their development and learning Unit number: CYPOP 1 Unit reference: A/601/0121 Unit level: 3 Unit credit value: 6 Unit aim: The unit is designed to assess competence to work with babies and young children to support their learning and development. This would normally cover children from birth to their 3rd birthday. Learner name: CACHE Centre no: CACHE PIN: Unique learner number (ULN): Learning outcomes The learner will: Assessment criteria The learner can: Evidence record e.g. page number & method Assessor judgement achieved Initial and date Learning outcomes 2, 4 and 5 must be assessed in real work environments by a qualified occupationally competent Assessor. Simulation is not permitted.
Each stage is characterized by a psycho social crisis of these two conflicting forces. If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue. For example, if an infant enters into the toddler stage (autonomy vs. shame & doubt) with more trust than mistrust, he or she carries the virtue of hope into the remaining life stage. b. Behavioral Learning Theory- John Watson believed that behavior can be measure, trained, and changed. Behaviors can be studied in a systematic and observable manner with no consideration of internal mental states.
Was there a normal distribution? Defend your position by interpreting the normality tests. (0 marks as this question is part of data screening for the writing of the results in Task 10) The results show that the test is not significant as according to Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk, the sig. =.200, .175, .183 and .122, which are greater than .05. Thus meaning that the assumption of normality was met According to skewness and kurtosis there is no problem with normality as both scores of -1.57 (skewness) and -0.39 (kurtosis) are both within the range of +/- 3.29.
In A Sticky Gum Problem we have to find out how much a parent must spend for all their children to have the same color gumball. The whole POW can be related to probability. This POW did not have any specific problem but there were three actual problems. I realized that all of the problems are based on the same thing. The only info they give you is the number of kids and the number of different colored gumballs.
When shown together there evidence provided a way of proving how levels of security in these relationships have substantial impact upon infants development. It is important to mention that the “strange situation” technique has received criticisms surrounding ethics with regards to intentionally inflicting distress upon infants by purposely separating them from their attachment figure however it has been argued that this situation is something that does occur naturally in an infants life. The ecological validity of the research and its ability to be generalised within different cultures has also been questioned as the study used only a sample of westernised participants. For Bowlby the IWM only had capacity to change in the period of infancy after this it is fixed for the rest of a persons life therefore a link should be able to be demonstrated between infant attachment classifications and adult attachment classifications. Continuing from the work of Bowlby and Ainsworth the adult attachment interview was developed by Main, here an adults ability to integrate childhood memories of relationships with attachment figures into working models of relationships was assessed identifying in accordance to Main three
Psychology class. tell them the three observation involve looking different aspect of the child development.A is focused on cognitive skills( mention Piaget). and moral reasoning (mention kolbery,). in B you are looking at social - play involvement .and C social attachment (mention Ainsworth).never say '' testing'' nor'' intelligence''. you are observation to final out what stage the child is in and apply the theories' you are learning.you will need to borrow or take a picture of the child .
Babies are born legally blind. True 3) What are the three basic tasks of infancy? 1) get what they need 2) defending against harmful stimulations 3) making social contact 4) What do developmental researchers note about infants? Developmental researchers note the certain patterns
