Explain specifically how/why each model aligns with your belief about how children learn, grow and develop.

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Aspects of Theories

After reading Chapters 3 and 6 in your textbook and viewing the ECE 101 Theorist Gallery Tour, it is likely that a few theoretical models are of interest to you.  In this discussion you will explain the two theoretical models you related the most with and tell how the theorists’ ideas align with your current beliefs about how children learn, grow, and develop. This will help as you work to understand who you are as an early childhood educator.

Theorists and Theories

Piaget: Theory of Cognitive Development

Vygotsky: Sociocultural Theory of Development

Gardner: Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Skinner: Operant Conditioning Theory

Bandura: Social Learning Theory

Freud: Psychosexual Theory of Development

Erikson: Theory of Psychosocial Development

Kohlberg: Theory of Moral Development

Initial post: Your initial post should include the following:

Describe the two theoretical models  you connect with the most. Explain your thinking.

Summarize the models in your own words.

Explain specifically how/why each model aligns with your belief about how children learn, grow and develop.

Describe a real-life example for each theoretical model. For example, if you have seen a teacher provide scaffolding, explain what you saw and how it aligns with Vygotsky.

Guided Response: Read and respond to at least two of your peers’ posts who chose at least one different theoretical model than you did. In your responses,  ask questions of your peer that will help you learn more about their choice or about how you might use this theoretical model in your work with children.

What motivation theories help you account for this high level of performance?

Recall a situation in which you and your co-workers or fellow students were highly motivated and effective.  What motivation theories help you account for this high level of performance?

THEORIES OF MOTIVATION

Supervision requires an understanding of the complex needs that affect individual performance. These needs have been categorized and explained in a number of ways. At the broadest level, motivation theories are grouped as content theories, which have specific motivating factors, and process theories, which are content-free and describe the ways in which needs, behaviors, and rewards may interact. We will first review the three most common content theories of motivation, followed by a discussion of the most popular process theory: expectancy theory

 How could an increased awareness of information processing, your learning style, and your attention and self-regulation strategies potentially affect your performance in your academic journey?

Prior to engaging in this discussion, please read “Chapter 8: Owning Our Learning Experiences” in your e-book and review the Instructor Guidance. Metacognition is the ability to be aware of and regulate one’s thought processes. It is suggested to be a process that improves our ability to effectively process information. Consider the benefits of being more aware of your own learning needs and how it might affect both your personal and professional goals. Discuss the following:  How could an increased awareness of information processing, your learning style, and your attention and self-regulation strategies potentially affect your performance in your academic journey? Your career development/professional life? Based on your career goals, how can a better understanding of how we learn be applied? (e.g. in your organization? your community? your volunteer efforts?) Did you learn anything important about yourself through the process of learning about learning? What did you learn about your peers in the class through the process of learning about learning? How will you apply what you have learned about yourself in your future learning activities (whether you are the learner or the instructor in these activities)? Do you agree or disagree that by applying the elements of metacognition into your studies, you will improve your ability to learn more effectively?

explain how you might apply a crisis intervention model and crisis intervention skills and strategies to the survivors

Hello I have a 3 page Crisis Intervention assignment here are some details

Assignment: Crisis Intervention

The breadth of survivors’ emotional reactions to disasters, crises, and traumas can be extreme, ranging from laughter to anger, or withdrawal to acting out. Crisis workers must try to understand the disaster, crisis, or trauma from the survivor’s point of view, while appearing nonjudgmental and providing support. Of equal importance, crisis workers must understand that support might entail meeting survivors’ basic needs, such as hunger, rather than emotional needs. For instance, helping a survivor of a hurricane to load personal belongings into a truck, finding the survivor a meal, or providing the survivor with shelter for the night might be more helpful than facilitating his or her emotional response to the event. Much of crisis and disaster intervention is attending to very basic physical needs before anything else.

For this Assignment, you will review three case studies, select one to which you will respond, and explain how you might apply a crisis intervention model and crisis intervention skills and strategies to the survivors in the case study you chose.
