Grandma vs. Research

In
a Journal entry of about 500 words, you will be addressing the role of
theory and evidence – both scholarly and personal – and how they can be
utilized in the classroom or other professional settings.

Begin
by reflecting on the benefits and drawbacks of accepting advice from
stories told by previous generations (i.e. “I did that with my kids and
they turned out just fine.”).  For example, you may have heard a
grandparent suggest that you put a bit of whiskey on an infant’s gums to
help with teething. Describe your own thoughts about anecdotal advice
such as this and explain why it may be true in some cases, but not in
others.  

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
it to reflect on and answer the following questions:

    1. Why is it important to utilize developmental theory to explain children’s development?
      1. Identify
        and briefly describe the key points of one of the major developmental
        theories and why you feel that theory is applicable to child and/or
        adolescent development. 
    2. What makes scholarly research
      different from anecdotal evidence (personal experience) in explaining
      child and adolescent development?  [Hint: Consider the methodology of
      the article you are reading.]
    3. Finally, demonstrate the value of
      continued learning with a concluding reflection on why we should
      incorporate both personal experience and scholarly research or theory to
      help support any statements made in this class or any other
      professional setting.

    You are required to utilize at least one
    (1) additional scholarly source not from this week’s required readings
    (including, but not limited to, the multimedia in the recommended
    resources for Week 1).  You must cite all of your sources (including the
    video embedded above) in proper APA style.
