Importance of Theory and Research in Child Development
Resources which will aid you in completing this journal assignment include Chapter 1 in your textbook, the “Endless Questions” video, and all relevant Instructor Guidance.

 

In a Journal entry of 500-1000 words, begin by reflecting on the phrase, “Well that’s what we did with my kids and they turned out just fine.”  Describe your own thoughts about this statement and explain why this may be true in some cases, but not in others.  Use personal experiences or examples to support your factual statements and opinions.

Then, watch the Endless Questions video analyzing child development research and find one additional scholarly source of your choice (see tips and a link to tutorials below) and use them to reflect on and answer the following questions:

 Why is it important to utilize problem-solving techniques in exploring developmental issues, grounded in child development theory to explain and/or demonstrate a foundational knowledge of the children’s developmental continuum, from conception?What makes scholarly research different from anecdotal evidence (or personal experience) in explaining child and adolescent development?  [Hint: Consider the methodology of the articles you are reading.]Identify and briefly describe the key points of one theory and why you feel that theory is applicable to child and/or adolescent development.

Finally, relate the value of continued learning with a concluding reflection on why we should incorporate both personal experience and scholarly research grounded in theory to help support any statements made in this class or any other professional setting.

You are required to utilize at least one scholarly source (including, but not limited to, the multimedia in the required and recommended resources for Week One).  You must cite all of your sources (including the video embedded above) in proper APA style.  If you are unsure how to create an APA style reference page, please visit the Citation and Reference page on the Ashford Writing Center website. Aside from the video embedded in the prompt, you are to find one other scholarly through the Ashford Library website to help support your reflections in PART II.  View this great tutorial provided by the Ashford University Library which will show you how to find scholarly articles and how to assess the scholarly quality of the resource.

NOTE: As you are completing your searches in the library search engines, check the boxes in the search engines of the library for scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. This allows you to find resources that have been evaluated by a number of experts in the field and do not represent just one person’s opinion.

Carefully review the for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your journal entries.

The phrase “Well that’s what we did with my kids and they turned out just fine” is very popular among parents.

This statement may be true in some cases but not others due to the fact that children are different. What works for one parent will not necessarily work for another parent. For instance, when an infant is suffering from colic there are different remedies that parents………………

Formative Assessments • Proposal produced in Competitive Intelligence (Semester 1) developed throughout the course to provide a project plan and clear aims and objectives. • During week 8 of your course students will be called together as a group to present to their colleagues a progress report of work conducted to date – the peer review process is a chance to evaluate your progress against those of your peers and discuss areas of commonality / challenges. Individuals are not expected to produce any PPT presentations but to discuss their project in an open and unbiased discussion where colleagues can challenge or investigate different aspects of each others project. The presentation is not expected to take more than 10 – 15 minutes per student and it is an opportunity for students to tell others what you have done towards your final project
