ECE 332 Week 2 DQ 1 Nature vs. Nurture
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.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 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.

ECE 332 Week 2 DQ 2 Conception to Birth
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •  
  • 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.

  •  
  • 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 staff?
  • b. How would you want the school staff to talk
    with the other children about your childs
    specific needs and

  •   
  • 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?

ECE 332 Week 3 DQ 1 Early Language Development
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •  
  • 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.

ECE 332 Week 3 DQ 2 Optimal Brain Development
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.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 daycare center 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.

ECE 332 Week 4 DQ 1 Gender Development
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •   
  • 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).

13
ECE 332 Week 4 DQ 2 Brain Development
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.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).
  • 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.

ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 1 The Importance of Play
  • For more course tutorials visit

  •  
  • 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.

ECE 332 Week 5 DQ 2 Life
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.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, 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.

  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.uophelp.com
  •  
  • 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.)
