classes visit www.snaptutorial.com   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

ECE 332 Week 3 DQ 2 Optimal Brain
Development   For more classes visit www.snaptutor
ial.com   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

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).

ECE 332 Week 4 DQ 2 Brain Development   For more
classes visit www.snaptutorial.com   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).

ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 1 The Importance of Play   For
more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com   he
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.

ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 2 Life   For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   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,
