Throughout a child’s development they may go through some significant changes in their life outside of school, such as financial difficulties, death of an immediate family member, parental separation, introduction of step parents/siblings or foster care/adoption. Any of these changes can have a serious effect on the child emotionally and intellectually, causing behavioural/learning difficulties. It is thought that children who come from poor or deprived backgrounds are less likely to achieve at school. They may suffer from poor health due to the lack of good food or nutrition and have limited means of medical care/attention and medicines.…
The use of nursing theories in practice, aid in providing validity to the concepts and data that the practicing professional has set to implement. Many of the nursing theories that we use daily are based on ideas that were presented previously in other areas or professions. These borrowed theories help to solidify the scientific rationale for making a needed change or to research a particular concept for the improvement of: patient safety, care, organization workflow and design, advances in…
There are many different theories on how children learn based on heredity and environment. There are four general principles of human development and they are; development is somewhat predictable, children develop at different rates, development is marked by periods of rapid growth between periods of slower growth, and heredity and environment interact in their efforts on development. The degree to which heredity and environment interact with each other makes it difficult to distinguish how…
- My professional perspective can best be explained by a synthesis of theoretical foundations based on Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, Bowlby’s theory of early relationships, and the transactional ecological model. - I find Piaget’s theory to be most applicable to my view on educational opportunities, teaching methods, and practices to facilitate learning. - I find Bowlby’s theory to be most suitable to my view of the dynamics between children and the adults in their lives and how…
SOCIAL LIFE (SELF-CARE DEFICIT THEORY): Orem recognizes that each person develops as a separate, unique person and at their own rate. Environmental conditions and the availability of resources that promote the natural development of individuals vary within families, communities and even societies. Each person throughout these stages experiences internal and external conditions that can change or adversely affect their development. At certain stages of development, the person becomes involved in…
People have been studying the development of children for centuries. Their research has helped future generations understand how students learn, behave and their characteristics. There have been many theorists, but four of the most well known are Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, and Erik Erikson. Each one of these theorists has informed practice and the understanding of young children 's characteristics and needs. The understanding of each theorist “helps us to look at the facts from…
1 Describe theoretical perspectives in relation to: ➢ Cognitive development These approaches look at processes such as thinking, attention, memory, language and perception. Children acquire different skills in these areas as part of their natural development. Approaches to children’s learning and development influence current practice in a number of ways for example: SKINNER- Behaviourist Approach: this is primarily used to motivate children as the practitioner uses praise as reinforcement.…
The United Nations Conventions of the Rights of a Child is a treaty document that is embedded throughout The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. Urie Bronfenbrenner Bronfenbrenner is known for the Ecological Systems Theory. This is theory based on different environmental systems and how they influence child development. There are five ecological systems; Microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. This theory is evident in our current provisions of…
(1) Effective ELD instructional practices/strategies observed: Ms. Moraes lowers her ELLs’ “affective filters” a number of different ways. To illustrate, she selects relatable material that students easily identified with, clarifies language usage, repeats key information frequently, and highlights key vocabulary throughout the lesson in both English and Spanish. She also allows students to decide if they are willing to share and/or read publically in class. (1) Current ELD theory/theories…
Analysis A multi-dimensional approach to human development and behaviour is beneficial in social work and human services practice as the human condition, and all human experience, is multifaceted and complex. Current knowledge and awareness of social and psychological theories is highly important as well as it must inform decision making in direct practice. This paper will discuss Tony’s inner and outer world, according to Harms (2010), in order to analyse his behaviour with consideration to…
