How Children Develop

Hi everyone

 

I am currently working on this question:

 

Relevant research into the influences on how children develop and how this research may influence practice

 

So far i have written about 16 pages, mainly covering

 

Behaviourism ~ Pavlov and Skinner

Social learning Theory ~ Bandura

Constuctivism ~ Piaget

Social constructivism ~ Vygotsky

 

My question is, have i covered the main points?? It seems i have written loads but not covered that much!! I am starting to think i should have covered nature / nurture and maturation aswell.

 

Think i am having a bit of a confidence problem at the moment, i am finding the most basic questions the hardest!!

I learnt all about this 18 years ago whilst doing the NNEB, so i should be able to answer the question :o

I may be totally wrong because I don't know what has been covered in your 'taught' sessions but could the title of your assignment mean more up to date research? ie: Rose report has influenced the Synthetic phonics now in practice. The EPPE research looked at the environment, teacher qualifications and and more and how these factors impact on practice.

Hmmm..... i'm not sure!!! :o

 

Thanks Peggy for the different perspective, one which hadn't entered my mind!!!

 

I am undertaking the qualification through a training company, so not really receiving any teaching sessions, unfortunately my assessor has been on sick leave for the past 6 weeks, so has been difficult to access support.

 

She is due to return and visit me next monday so i think its best that i don't go any further until i have spoken to her.

For my level 3 DPP we had to study theorists - Piaget etc. and also research into influences on a child's overall development. I used info from the EPPE study as Peggy said. Pen Green also had some research projects which I found really interesting. I've posted a link - don't know if it's what you need but hope it helps.
