The Five Theoretical Perspective To Teach A Child

There are several different types of theoretical orientations that a student may choose to identify him or herself with. Although students may choose a specific theoretical orientation they may change their orientation later on in their academic career depending on their perspective of the field. Each orientation is equal, neither orientation is better than the other. Just because a person picks a certain orientation doesn’t mean that their psychological assessment will be any longer or shorter. Its important that a student identifies what they what orientation they want to identify with because they should spend their time as a student becoming an expert in that orientation, because when they graduate they are considered experts and is expected to have a certain level of competency. As of right now I mostly identify with eclectic. I see that there is so much value in each orientation, but for the purpose of this paper I am going to choose cognitive behavioral therapy. The reason that I mostly identify with CBT is because I currently use it now and I’m very familiar with it. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) refers to a class of interventions that share the basic premise that mental disorders and psychological distress are maintained by cognitive factors (Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer, & Fang, 2012).

My personality is quite similar to who I am when describing myself. I am also a person who values other people and being surrounded by others. I am the one who makes tries to lighten the mood during a heavy or deep situation. I also tend to always put others before myself because I strive to help others find their happiness. I am definitely a fun and outgoing person. I love putting a smile on others’ faces and I love to laugh on a daily basis. Additionally, I am also quite serious, responsible, and well organized. Overall, I would say that I have a “go-getter” attitude/personality, but I am quite the lively person as well.

Encourage correct manners to be used by ‘treating others in a way that you expect to be treated’. Always allow the children to hear “please” and “thank you” being used which will show continued respect between all children and other adults.

According to Landstrom (1998), the sociological theories are in the level of analysis which is traditionally the society. Reynolds (1991) identified social networks, life course stage context, ethnic identification and population ecology as the four social contexts that relates to entrepreneurial opportunity.

The five key aspects of theoretical orientation to development include: psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavior and social cognitive, ethological, and ecological. Each one of these happen to contribute an important piece to the life-span development puzzle. Although some of these theories may contradict the others they all work together to make us understand the things that happen throughout life. Together the coincide to let us see the total picture of development and the great things that come along with it.

There are eight theoretical perspectives in contemporary psychology. Any topic in psychology has many approaches that have a variety of perspectives for each that is given. Starting with the biological perspective, it is noted that physiology has played a major role in psychology. The organ systems such as the nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, and genetics are greatly emphasized in studying physical bases of human and animal behavior. Neuroscience more specifically studies the nervous system, particularly the brain. The next theoretical perspective is the cognitive perspective, which is a relatively modern approach. It focuses on the important role of mental processes in how people process and remember information, develop language,

Sociological perspective defines the way humanity socializes in different age groups, ethnicity, and gender. It’s explained within 3 theories which are symbolic, functionalist and conflict. Each theory has its own way of explaining social interaction in everyday life. These perspectives are how you choose to look at different phenomenons within society.

From the day they are born, children are immersed in a social world. Rapid learning takes place and is supported not only by parents, siblings, teachers and friends but also the important values and beliefs within their culture. All of this provides the foundations for cognitive development. As trainee teachers, it is fundamental that we have a deeper understanding of how children learn and how we can support learning. In order to do this we must first look at some of the theories of learning.

o     Eg. When children use manners and are polite, they are more likely to get what they want. Hence they learn to be polite rather than ask rudely.

According to the New York Times post, twenty-three year old Rebecca Falcon is now serving life in the Lowell Correctional Institution for murder (New York Times 2005). In November 1997, at the age of fifteen, Rebecca and her friend Clifton Gilchrest decided to jump in the back of a taxi highly intoxicated and hold a gun to the back of the cab driver’s head (New York Times 2005). Sadly, the cab driver was untimely shot in the head and died several days later (New York Times 2005). Not long after that, a jury found Rebecca Falcon guilty of murder, a conviction that carried with it a life sentence (New York Times 2005). Foreman Steven Sharp stated “As tough as it is, based on the crime, I think it’s appropriate. It’s terrible to put a fifteen year old

Looking back over the course of this quarter. I feel that I have learned many new and interesting things in both English and Sociology. In this essay, I’ll talk about what interested me in particular. At the beginning of the quarter, the study of sociology caught my interest. I was fascinated with how Sociology is used to study human social behavior, which provides different ideas to better help us understand the social world that we live in. What really caught my attention were the three sociological perspectives. Which are; Symbolic Interactionism, Functional Analysis and Conflict Theory. Some things that intrigued me about the three sociological perspectives is that each perspective analyzes different types of social behavior. I see these as sociological tools and just like tools, each perspective has its own purpose.

According to Grove and Burns (2013,) research studies will always be based on some kind of theoretical framework. Whether clearly stated or implied each study will consist of an already excepted framework. The Health Belief Model (HBM) consists of six primary components: Perceived susceptibility (person’s subjective perception of illness), perceived severity (person’s feelings on the seriousness of illness), perceived benefits (person’s perception of the effectiveness of intervention to reduce illness), perceived barriers (person’s feelings on obstacles to follow intervention), cues to action (stimulus needed to trigger acceptance of intervention), and self-efficacy (person’s level of confidence to succeed).
