You will observe (via video resource) child behavior and identify developmental concepts that are demonstrated in the video. Similar to how you have found media sources for discussion boards.
Objectives:
- Demonstrate your understanding and application of concepts related to physical, cognitive, and social and emotional factors impacting child development.
- Demonstrate your ability to identify and apply empirical support to discussion of concepts
- Demonstrate your writing skills including application of APA technical requirements
Tasks:
- Identify components of physical, cognitive, and social/emotional development that is occurring with the individual in the clip. Be specific. Full credit is earned by thoroughly identifying specific concepts from the course.
- For example, “The child developed motor skills” (insufficient) versus “The child was developing the pincer and grasping skills supporting their fine motor development.” (sufficient)
- Describe specifically what behaviors and observations you witness that connect with this aspect of development.
- Describe briefly a sociocultural factor that you are observing may impact a component of this child’s development. Be specific.
- Find at least one peer-reviewed research article/citation that supports how this factor why this factor is important or how this factor can impact the next stage of development.
- Use at least 1 in-text citation to connect with your peer reviewed source. Ex: (Smith, 2020).
- Describe briefly what you would recommend as an intervention or component to support development. Considering resilience factors, parenting interventions, stimulation, policy changes, trainings, etc.
Additional Requirements:
- The video must include a child that falls within the developmental timelines covered in this course (Infancy, Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Early Adolescence).
- Papers should be no less than 4 pages. Papers that are under 4 pages would likely not thoroughly and specifically address the requirements of the project effectively.
- Papers should follow APA format 6th See Writing Center and added resources for information.
- This paper must be submitted via Turnitin. Papers that demonstrate inadequate original work will be considered honor violation and will be reviewed appropriately.
