- Business - General Business
- Benefits of Preschool. As an early childhood
professional, you will often be asked questions
from parents and community members regarding the
benefits of sending their children to preschool.
After reading Chapter 1 and drawing from your
experience, discuss the benefits of a preschool
education - Theory and Behavior. After reading Chapters 1 and
2 select a Theorist whose work most closely
aligns with your thoughts regarding early
development. Describe the theorists work and
discuss how their work aligns with your own
understanding and beliefs. - Theory Summary. Using the concept summary in
Chapter 2 of the required text, fill in the
blanks for each of the developmental theories in
the table provided. (This table can be accessed
in the online course.) Provide examples from your
own experience or the textbook in the last
column.

last row, describe your ideal theory of child
development, combining the elements that you
believe encapsulate your own beliefs and
experiences
4ECE 332 Week 1 DQ 2 Theory and Behavior
- Business - General Business
- Theory and Behavior. After reading Chapters 1 and
2 select a Theorist whose work most closely
aligns with your thoughts regarding early
development. Describe the theorists work and
discuss how their work aligns with your own
understanding and beliefs.
5ECE 332 Week 2 DQ 1 Nature vs. Nurture
- Nature vs. Nurture. The debate concerning the
influence of inherited traits and abilities
compared to the influence of environment on human
development has been argued for decades. The
required reading this week provides information
on the extent of which human development and
behavior is the result of nature (heredity) and
of nurture (environmental influences). - In this discussion you will debate nature vs.
nurture. Below is your assigned debate grouping
by the first letter of your last name - a. A-M Proponent of Nature
- b. N-Z Proponent of Nurture
- For this debate, you must develop a persuasive,
research-based argument showing the extent to
which your assigned influence affects
development. Be sure to utilize both the course
text as well as other scholarly resources to
support your argument. Remember, you are arguing
that either nature or nurture is the most
important influence on development. -
6ECE 332 Week 2 DQ 2 Conception to Birth
- Business - General Business
- Conception to Birth. There are three major stages
from conception to birth. They are the germinal
stage (first two weeks following conception) the
embryonic stage (until the end of the eighth
week) and the fetal stage (until birth).
Complete a table, like the one below, making sure
to identify the development that happens in each
stage and how the development is affected by
outside influences, both positive and negative.
Finally, list your recommendations for the
healthy development of a child. -
7ECE 332 Week 2 Journal Point of View
- Business - General Business
- Point of View. You are a parent of a child who
has a serious peanut allergy. You are meeting
with your childs new teacher to explain this
allergy and what specific needs your child has.
Your goal for this meeting is to ensure your
childs comfort and safety in the classroom by
communicating your expectations to the teacher. - For your journal entry, reflect on the following
questions - a. How do you expect your child to be treated not
only by his teacher, but by the rest of the
school taffs? - b. How would you want the school staff to talk
with the other children about your childs
specific needs and accommodations? - c. In addition to the teacher, who else should be
involved in ensuring the safety of your child?
8ECE 332 Week 3 Assignment Developmental Milestones
- Developmental Milestones. The purpose of this
assignment is to creatively demonstrate an
understanding of infant developmental milestones
as they pertain to cognition, motor skills,
sensation, and perception. Using information from
Chapter 5 of your text, write a short story about
a childs journey from birth to age 1. This can
be a fictional child, or can be based on a real
child. The story should be three to five pages in
addition to the title page and the reference
page. Use at least one reference in addition to
your text. Your paper should also be formatted
according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center. - a. Describe the childs sensory experiences at
birth (e.g. sight, hearing, movement). - b. Analyze how these senses develop and become
more evolved? At the age of 6 months, identify
what this same child can hear, see, and do?
9ECE 332 Week 3 DQ 1 Early Language Development
- Business - General Business
- Early Language Development. Take a moment to
watch the video, A Place of Our Own Early
Academics Part 1. After reading about early
language development in Chapter 5 of your text
and watching the video, describe a learning
center that would promote early language
development. Your description must include the
learning objective of the center, the materials
provided, and step-by-step instructions for
implementation of the activity. Make sure to
include the specific areas of language that the
center targets, the approach you will be using to
introduce this center, and methods for assessing
students development
10ECE 332 Week 3 DQ 2 Optimal Brain Development
- Business - General Business
- Optimal Brain Development. The human brain is
highly dependent on experiences for development.
Discuss your role as a teacher or caregiver in a
childs life in terms of promoting optimal brain
development through exposure to various
experiences. Give three examples of appropriate
stimulation (activities) you can employ in the
classroom or daycarecenter to promote learning.
How can you include activities outside the
classroom that will reinforce the learning? How
can you involve the parents and community
resources (i.e., fieldtrips)? Lastly, include
information on a field trip you could take your
class on in your local area that would extend the
learning that you included in one of your sample
activities. Relate experiences from your own
schooling such as field trips, community events,
and activities that connected your learning to
both the community and your home. -
11ECE 332 Week 4 DQ 1 Gender Development
- Business - General Business
- Gender Development. Gender roles are the
combination of attitudes, behaviors, and
personality characteristics that a culture
considers appropriate for an individuals
anatomical sex. Psychologists have proposed a
number of theories to explain gender typing
(LeFrancois, 2012). -
12ECE 332 Week 4 DQ 2 Brain Development
- Business - General Business
- Brain Development. Brain-based education suggests
that physical exercise is important for brain
development. Research has shown that in addition
to physical exercise, other activities focus on
stimulating the social development and
intellectual development of young children. - Gerry, who is still incapable of jumping with
both feet, may not be invited to join in a game
of jump rope. This is an example of how a childs
individual characteristics (motor skills in this
case) can affect context (social environment) and
influence development (LeFrancois, 2012). - Reflect back on your own development as a child,
or on the development of a child you know, and
provide an example of how individual
characteristics affected development. Using the
text and other scholarly resources, provide some
suggested activities or strategies that would
provide the necessary support to enhance the
affected development. For example, Gerrys
teacher notices she is being excluded from the
game of jump rope and intervenes by showing Gerry
how to twirl the rope. Gerry is now included
socially, despite her delayed motor development.
13ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 1 The Importance of Play
- Business - General Business
- The Importance of Play. Children learn as they
play and, while playing, they learn how to learn.
Take a moment to read the article The Importance
of Play Activities for Children. Then, think
about the childhood games that you played. Share
your favorite playtime activity with your
classmates and explain why it was your favorite.
Describe what you learned from your play and how
it enhanced your development as a child. Using
your own experience with play and the information
in the reading, also describe five takeaways from
each article that you will use to support play
and enhance the development of children under
your supervision.
14ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 2 Life
- Business - General Business
- Life. Life as we know it will change for the next
generation, and those changes must be accounted
for in child development. Today, television and
media, the changing nuclear family, and new
parenting styles play a large part in the life of
a child. Research tells us that viewing violent
television programs or playing violence-themed
games contributes to increased aggressiveness in
children. We also know that the break-up of the
nuclear family and super-parenting can have
detrimental effects on a childs emotional and
social development. It may sound difficult, but
as a caregiver, you will need to find the
positive influences that can enhance development
and learning in all situations. Explain what you
can do to help prevent the negative influences of
media, parenting, and the nuclear family, and
ensure their positive influence on child growth
and development. Share your own beliefs about
these three areas, and how you will avoid any
personal bias in your approach
15ECE 332 Week 5 Final Paper
- Business - General Business
- For the Final Project, you will demonstrate your
understanding of the material in this course by
developing a classroom plan for either an
infant/toddler childcare facility or for a
preschool classroom, based on Piagets Stage
Theory. For this project, include - a. Summarize Piagets Stage Theory in your own
words. - b. Identify and describe the developmental
characteristics of the selected age group. - c. Design and describe the physical layout of
facility or classroom that aligns with Piagets
Stage Theory. Use evidence from the text or other
scholarly resources when describing your layout.
(You may use a software application that provides
graphic layouts like Classroom Architect, or
create your layout in a word document.)
