psy 104 week 4

In this discussion, you will explore the role of society and community agencies (more specifically, schools) in developing the optimum learning and pro-social behavior of children.  In your initial post:

 

    • Explain the major themes of Montessori-style education and typical education formats for children.

 

    • Analyze child development research and theory by creating a bulleted list or table describing three benefits and three drawbacks of each style.

 

      • Within your lists, consider and comment upon the developmental domains: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial.

 

      • In what ways does each style of education benefit or ignore each domain?

 

      • Explain the role of these in the development of optimum learning and pro-social behavior in children.

 

    • Consider the stages of development from toddlerhood through adolescence.  In what ways are the educational needs of children and adolescents similar, and how do they differ?
