Child Development - Child Study
I have been asked to produce a piece of coursework for Child Development. The coursework is to do a Child Study on a child of my choice looking at different areas of Child Development. The study will last approximately 11 months. There will be deadlines for completing the various stages of the study and I will have to make a plan to keep within the time scale. At the end of the study there will be an evaluation and conclusion and then the coursework will handed in for marking. The aim of this coursework is to study a child in their early stages of development. I will hope to understand the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of my study child. I will be observing one child for this study. For physical development I will be observing the child during play and other learning activities and see how he develops throughout the study. I'll be measuring his growth by doing checks on the child's height and weight during the study. Also I will be observing the child's diet as this is important in the child's growth. One of the ways I'll measure the child's growth is to have a height and measuring chart on the wall and four times throughout the study I will take the height and weight measurements and mark them on the chart. The child will also be able to follow their progress which will give him an interest in the process. Intellectual development is about
child study visit
Date of Visit: 16th October 2006 Length of Visit: 2 hours and 40 minutes Place: Park People Present: Sam, Me Aim of Visit-Plan Today I am going to take Sam to the park, which is only about a 10 minute walk from her house. By doing this I should hopefully very easily be able to observe her gross motor skills as there will be a lot of apparatus there for her to play on that will enable her to use the large muscles in her body e.g-climbing frame etc. Whilst at the park I have also planned to play 'Simon says' with her by playing this game I will be able to observe some of her intellectual skills by seeing how she responds to instructions. Observations When Sam found out that we were going to the park she got really excited. As soon as we got there she immediately ran over to the swings and she needed me to start her off on the swing by pushing her once and then she used her legs to make her keep moving. After about two or three minutes she wanted to get off the swing and she asked me to get her off because the swing was a little bit high as her feet didn't touch the floor when she sat on it. She then wanted to go on the slide and ran straight over to it. When she was climbing up the ladder to the slide, another little girl came over to the slide and started climbing up the ladder iswell behind Sam (She looked younger than Sam and I don't think she was above 2 years old).
Introduction to Child Study.
Introduction to Child Study The child I will be studying is Mica. She was born on the 26th December 1999. She is now 3 years and 7 months old. Mica is of mixed race with lovely brown curly hair and beautiful brown eyes. She is a very lively and outgoing child. Mica can also be very shy with strangers dependent on their approach to her. Mica is rather tall for her at 108 1/2 cm or 42 1/2 inches tall and wears clothes aged 4-5. She gets the height from her father's side of the family. She also has a size 9 feet, which is large for her age. Mica is very happy, chatty child who can mix with most children, and attends the local nursery five days a week all day whilst her parents work. She has a wide imagination and often pretends to be a teacher using the skills her teachers use at nursery which she as noticed. Mica loves to play along in games with others and amuses herself when alone. She loves to play with her dolls and teddy bears but also likes watching television. Mica's favourite programme is Tweenies, she also likes to watch films, and her favourite is Monsters Inc. She often relays what is happening in the film like when the monster is talking she will say the words before him or when the little girl is about to scream she will prior to it happening. Mica lives in a two bed-roomed flat in West Bowling with her mother Favel aged 29 and her father Chris aged 33. Mica as

CONTENTS . INTRODUCTION 2. EVALUATION OF SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE 2.1. Technical - course-related 2.2. Social and Inter-personal 2.3. Strategic and Operational 3. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES 4. SUMMARY OF RESULTS 5. REFERENCES . INTRODUCTION This report is a personal development plan that shows an evaluation of current skills and knowledge that includes my strengths and weaknesses. Development is a lifelong of nurturing, shaping and improving an individual's skills, knowledge and interests to ensure my maximum effectiveness and adaptability, and to minimize the obsolescence of my skills and my chances of redundancy. It does not necessarily imply upward movement; rather, it is about enabling individuals to improve and use my full potential at each career stage. (Definition of personal development planning from class material) The personal development plan for me is a chance to know my self better, I can realize what I want to achieve or where I want to go in the plan, in the short- or long-term, and also identifying the need for skills, knowledge or competence. It also helps me to define the appropriate development to meet those perceived needs. In this report, I am going to focusing on what my strengths are and
Skills and Knowledge Needed to Work In A Business Environment
Victor Stephenson-Henshaw Unit CU678 EDI Level 2 Certificate In Principles Of Business And Administration Unit CU678 – Work In A Business Environment Victor Stephenson-Henshaw Assessor – Rob Allen ________________ Understand How To Respect Other People At Work ,1 Describe What Is Meant By Diversity And Why It Should Be Valued Diversity can be differences in race, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities, etc. It is also a variety of something such as opinion, colour, or style. Diversity should be respected and valued because not everyone is completely the same even in the example categories; they are not the same as everyone else. Some people like to eliminate what is dissimilar. Our opinions can lead to environmental problems such as violence and hatred because of diversity being a key ingredient to a good and safe environment. Everyone in the workplace is treated equally. Every individual has a unique something to offer and this can help the company. Diversity should be valued because without diversity, the company or the people at the work environment wouldn’t have knowledge on other cultures this can be helpful to the company as it opens the company or people to experience a different perspective other than the usual culture. Diversity should be valued because in case a unlawful discrimination may cost the company if
Samsung Strategic Management Case study
As mentioned in the report above strategic management can be defined as the brief process of identifying, selecting, choosing and then implementing actions that will help the organization in enhancing long term goals not only by creating ongoing compatibility between the internal skills and resources of the organization but by also bringing an change in the external environment within which it operates.[Ref] To better explain the concept of strategic management a real life case study is presented which is related to the Samsung company helmed by it chairman Lee Kun Hee. Today, Samsung is a major business group which is composed of various South Korean business sectors including Samsung electronics and Samsung Life insurance. Since Samsung today is at a place where most companies dream of, it is not easy for any organization to excel to such a position without a good strategic management. This shows that Samsung has an excellent strategic management active at all levels of management which makes the organization very successful. This can be clearly seen in the following words by the Samsung America Chief executive Oh Dong Jin "We believe we can be Number One" (Pearce II, Robinson, 2005: 21-1). This statement is the proof of the company's confidence in excelling because of an active strategic management. Since Samsung is aiming to be a world leading company it share certain
With reference to alternative research findings, critically assess Aschs study into conformity
With reference to alternative research findings, critically assess Asch's study into conformity A study that criticises Asch is by William & Sogon (1984) who claimed that the group Asch created did not reflect all groups found in society. They found that majority influence was significantly greater among friends than among strangers. Therefore Asch failed to realise that he could have obtained much stranger majority influence if he had replaced groups of strangers with an in0group of friends of the genuine participants & consequently this limits Asch findings to only groups of strangers & as a result lacks generalisability to other populations. And to support this Abrams et al (1990) argued that 1st year psychology participants would show more conformity if the other group members were perceived as belonging to an in group (other 1st yr psychology students) than if they were perceived as belonging to an out group (history students). Eagli & Carli (1981) criticise Asch study for being gender biased. They claim that in Western societies a masculine bias exists & as a consequence women show higher levels of conformity than men in the Asch study. They also found that in feminist societies, women actually show less conformity than men. This criticises Ash because he ignored complex gender characteristics that would have affected his results. Also David & Turner (1996) criticise
Describe and Evaluate Studies on Conformity. (Key study Solomon Asch)
Name: Odesanya Atilola Class: AS Psychology group1 Key Skills Assignment Topic: Describe and Evaluate Studies on Conformity. (Key study Solomon Asch) Lecturer: Kim Weeks Conformity is defined as a change in a person's opinion or behaviour as a result of real or imagined pressure from a group of people. This pressure to act like other people sometimes, despite our true feelings and desires, is common in our everyday lives. This is due to implied and spoken rules of the situation. People conform due to two different reasons. People conform either by informational influence or normative influence. Deutsch and Gerard (1955) gave a definition on informational and normative social influence: Informational social influence is a situation whereby the individual has a desire to be right in the knowledge and judgement of others, shown in Sherif's study. People change their opinion because of a number of different reasons including status and roles and familiarity. Informational influence leads usually to internalisation, where what a person believes actually changes. While Normative social influence is basically a situation whereby an individual has the urge or the want to be liked and accepted by others, as shown by Asch's experiment. Normative does not change private opinion; it affects public opinion because of compliance, where people, even though they don't believe in it,
science case study
Contents page introduction 2 scientific theory 3 for mmr vaccines 4 against mmr vaccines 5 conclusions 6 Bibliography Introduction My case study is about how safe are mmr vaccinations and the reason's for and against the use of compulsory vaccinations. The way my case study is structured is the introduction firstly and the scientific theory ( the science behind mmr vaccination) thirdly the reasons for mmr vaccinations also the reasons against mmr vaccinations I will also include my opinion in the conclusion and finally a bibliography Scientific theory The MMR vaccine is an injection that prevents you from catching the following diseases. In the UK it is given to children at 12 to 15 months old, with a reinforcing dose (a booster) before school, usually between 3 and 5 years. * Measles - this can cause ear infections, pneumonia, fits and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Sometimes it can be fatal. * Mumps - this can cause meningitis, which can result in deafness. It may cause inflammation of the pancreas, leading to pain, nausea and vomiting. In boys it can damage the testicles and cause infertility. * Rubella - this is also known as German measles and is usually a minor illness. However, it's harmful to pregnant women. If you become infected during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, it's very likely to cause problems in your unborn baby. These
Mobile Phone case study
Gary Thompson Monday 30th March 2009 Science Case Study: Do Mobile phones affect our health? - Page 3 - Page 4/5 - Page 6 - Page 7 - Page 7 - Page 8 Introduction My coursework piece for physics had to be based on the topic of the effects of radiation emitted from mobile phones. Therefore, I began my case study by researching people's opinions on the subject. In this case study, I plan to investigate both the arguments for and against my question: "Does use of mobile phones adversely affect our health?" I will do this by using a number of sources and by researching evidence that back up my own ideas. In addition to this, I will conclude this case study with a final look at my opinion. Scientific Theory Mobile phones work using cells. That is where the American term "cell phone" derives from. Each cell has a base station as its centre. The base station sends and receives calls from the phone. There are three different types of base station; Macrocells, Microcells and Picocells. Macrocells are the largest type of base stations and provide the main coverage for mobile phone networks. Its antennas can be mounted on ground-based masts, rooftops or other structures and must be high enough to avoid obstruction. Macrocells provide radio coverage over different distances, depending on the frequency used, the number of calls being made and the surrounding environment.
