Q

Development within the domains must progress

Q

Low socioeconomic status and development

A

Low socioeconomic status is not a negative factor, but children living in poverty are more likely to be affected by negative factors like food scarcity.

Regardless of socioeconomic standing, any child growing up in a home that does not promote academic learning and socialization might be stunted in their cognitive and social development.

Humans develop physically

Q

Q

Pre-operational Characteristics and Class implications

A

Egocentric thought (assume others see, hear, and feel exactly as they do)
Symbolic thought (ability to make one thing stand for something else) (language)
Do not use logic to combine or separate ideas

Need many hands-on activities since students are not able to conceptualize processes or ideas.
Direct instruction should always be paired with experiments and activities to reinforce the concept.

Q

Concrete Operations Characteristics and class implications

A

Start to picture mentally how things work and do not need to always see or physically manipulate objects to understand them
use inductive reasoning to draw conclusions based on observations
several new mental abilities are developed, including conservation (understanding that things can stay the same in quantity even if their appearance changes)

Hands-on activities are still beneficial when introducing a new idea but are not needed as much for students to understand the material

Q

Formal operations

A

abstract thought and can manipulate ideas in the mind without reliance on concrete manipulation
deductive reasoning used to form hypotheses about the world and test them in systematic manner to reach a conclusion.

mathematical calculations, creative thinking, abstract reasoning

Q

Physical Development preschool characteristics

A

grow rapidly
lose chubbiness from infancy and toddlerhood and develop a leaner appearance
develop fine motor skills (using pencils, crayons, scissors, etc.)
continue to develop gross motor skills (balancing on one foot, skipping)

25
Physical Development elemenatary
growth slows proportions become less child-like and more adult like males and females have similar body shapes and proportions fine and gross motor skills become more refined
26
Physical development secondary
adolescent growth spurts leads to a significant increase in height and weight students go through puberty, the physical process of sexual maturation onset of growth spurts and puberty typically occurs earlier for females than males
27
Negative Impacts of Physical Development on Learning
Poor nutrition, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, drug exposure, and physical abuse
28
Poor nutrition and physical development
delayed development because the cells in their bodies do not have adequate energy to grow proper nutrition is especially important during periods of rapid growth
29
lack of sleep and physical development
can decrease the release of growth hormones and hinder physical development
30
lack of exercise and physical development
can negatively impact muscle development
31
being smaller than peers affect
interactions and self-esteem, touching on the social and emotional domains
32
Emotional development refers to the
progression humans go through as they learn to identify and respond to feelings throughout their lives. It is closely linked to social development.
33
Emotional development preschool milestones and concerns
show and verbalize basic emotions throw temper tantrums when frustrated (although these should be decreasing) begin to show independent emotions concerns include uncontrollable temper tantrums and unable to identify happy and sad
34
Emotional development elementary milestones and concerns
understand embarrassment, show empathy, begin developing their own identity concerns include inability to control self, and few to no friendships.
35
Emotional development secondary
developing a sense of self show a wide range of emotions proud of successes concerns include withdrawal or significant change in personality
36
Students are set up for success when they learn appropriate ways to express
their emotions and understand the emotions of others.
37
To promote emotional development, teachers can
model appropriate emotional responses to a variety of situations. Teachers can also help students identify and name emotions to increase their emotional intelligence.
38
Teachers can use books to promote discussion of characters' emotions and responses, and they can facilitate
role-play scenarios where students act out different situations and practice exhibiting relevant emotional responses.
39
It is the responsibility of the classroom teacher to deliver instruction at the appropriate
Developmental level for the student. This ensures that concepts and instructional techniques are within the range of what the students are cognitively capable of understanding.
40
As teacher plans lessons, discussions, and projects, they should consider
The developmental characteristics of their students' ages while also being on the lookout for students who are not performing within the expected range.
41
How to approach teaching sensorimotor (0-2 yrs)
Students react to sensory experiences like shaking a rattle or making sounds to get attention. Peek-a-boo to work toward mastering object permanence (knowing objects don't disappear when they are hidden behind something else)
42
How to approach teaching pre-operational
language development, beginning to think symbolically role-playing and pretending to be someone else or a familiar character
43
How to approach teaching concrete operational
Understand logical reasoning, not yet understanding abstract thought practice examining a situation from several different viewpoints.
44
How to approach teaching formal operations
thinking abstractly Thinking "outside the bos" to solve problems
45
figurative language will be challenging for students who are still in the
concrete operational stage
46
Risky behaviors
adolescents think they are different from everybody else which may lead to a mindset that no one understands how they feel, and consequently, promotes a feeling of isolation. It can also lead to risky behavior because students think only other people are affected by dangerous behavior.
47
Adolescents are more likely to partake in
reckless driving, illegal substances, or crimial acts because they do not feel they will reap the consequences of these actions
48
Teachers can support students in making positive choices by
teaching them the facts about the consequences of risky behaviors.
49
Peers and development. Since many adolescents are not fully able to consider viewpoints of others, they
might think everyone around them is as interested and as aware of their physical changes as they are. When they walk into a room, they often feel everybody is analyzing them with the same scrutiny they give themselves.
50
Teachers need to be aware of a strong sense of peer
acceptance when interacting with students and assigning group projects. Teachers should be cognizant of this mindset, and be hesitant to address students in a negative or embarrassing manner.
51
Child Development and Play stages
Unoccupied, solitary, spectator/onlooker, parallel play, associate play, cooperative play.
52
unoccupied play (0-3 mo.)
infants make seemingly random movements that have no clear purpose observe others without acting helps set the stage for future exploration
53
solitary play (3 mo - 2 years)
play alone with limited interactions among peers
54
spectator/onlooker play (2- 2 1/2)
observe other children playing, but do not play with them
55
parallel play (2 1/2 - 3 years)
play alongside other children, but not in cooperation with them
56
Associate play (3-4 years)
play in cooperation with other children in a loosely organized manner develop preferences for playing with certain children
57
cooperative play (4+ years)
cooperate in a play activity where they share ideas about the activity play becomes more organized
58
importance of play
important for brain development, but also free play and guided play provide opportunities for students to reinforce their learning. Play also encourages problem-solving skills. In addition, it helps build a classroom culture of kindness and respect where students feel comfortable enough to ask questions and take risks.
59
Group projects thar esult in presentations to the class
keep students at the center of learning activities and increase their interactions with peers in a positive manner
