There is 2 parts. A discussion and an Assignment...

Discussion

 

Outline pros and cons and take a stand on standardized tests.

 

In your discussion, outline the benefits and drawbacks of standardized texts. Consider how these tests are supposed to function and what test scores seem to reflect or indicate about student success. Think also about the long-term and wide-scale implications of standardized tests. Use information from the text and your own knowledge and experiences to support your response.

 

Once you’ve outlined some pros and cons of standardized tests, make an argument for or against the use of standardized tests to measure achievement and intelligence in individual children and in schools. Support your argument with at least two specific examples that highlight the merit of your argument.

ASSIGNMENT

 

Deliverables

 

• One chart that illustrates physical developmental trajectories in young children and middle children. Chart may be drawn by hand and scanned for submission or constructed with computer software.
• One chart that illustrates cognitive developmental trajectories in young children and middle children. Chart may be drawn by hand and scanned for submission or constructed with computer software.
• One 2-3 page (500-750 word) discussion of two comparative developmental charts. Use word processing software.

 

Step 1: Construct two comparative developmental charts.

 

Use the knowledge you have gained through these four lessons to construct two charts—the first should illustrate the physical developmental trajectory of young children and middle children and the second should illustrate the cognitive developmental trajectory of young children and middle children.

 

Choose a few specific domains of developmental progress (e.g. major milestones, skills, abilities, behaviors, etc.) to address when designing charts that illustrate both physical and cognitive growth and development. Be sure to address the same domains for both age groups so that your charts will demonstrate a clear comparison between development in early childhood and middle childhood within a single illustration.

 

Cite all sources appropriately.

 

Step 2: Develop a detailed discussion of comparative chart contents and implications.

 

Once you have completed your two comparative developmental charts, analyze what they show and document your findings. Then, discuss the implications of the charts in terms of what they suggest about age-appropriate child care and instruction.

 

Consider the following questions when writing your discussion:

 

• What are the key differences that your charts reflect in the realms of physical and cognitive development?
• What similarities do young and middle children share in their physical and cognitive development?
• What do these similarities and differences suggest about age-appropriate child care and instructional practices?
• How (specifically) can you use the content of the charts to adopt and adapt appropriate environments and activities for young and middle children?

 

Cite all sources appropriately.
