Mateo Ruie: Observation Of Early Childhood Education

Chapter two discusses various theorists that helped to mold and shape early childhood education to where it is today. There are several different theorists that contributed to the development of early childhood education. Some of these theorists include Alfred Adler, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and John Dewey. Each theorist developed a unique theory that has caused early childhood guidance and education to flourish like it has today. Without learning and building on these theories, early childhood guidance and education would never develop or change. The chapter explains how some theories may seem strange to the contemporary families, but these theories are the foundation of how early childhood education got to where it is today. The book goes

In my first semester of college at Concordia, I had the opportunity to have the class EDU 120. A requirement for this class was having 10 hours of fieldwork; at least 3 hours in each level of childhood. The reason for this requirement is to help the students discover what grade level they want to teach in the future.

“Early roots of play as a best practice for early learning was documented by Plato, a Greek philosopher, who insisted that play is considered a natural activity of childhood.”(Ingrid Crowther, 2011, Pg. 2) Early Childhood Education is a term that refers to educational programs that are devoted to children from birth to the age of eight. “Children of this age learn by exploring and investigating; therefore, their environment should support and encourage this process.”(Rebecca Isbell and Betty Exelby, 2001, Pg. 11) Early childhood environments should be attractive and exciting. These environments should allow children to work and play using proper resources, materials, and tools.

I am a student at Florida Atlantic University studying early childhood education. I am enrolled in EEC 3214 class this semester; the class is called designing and implementing a blending curriculum: birth to age eight. I am required to complete a field experience assignment at a preschool. I will observe young children ranging from three to five years old. I assure you that I will keep all information confidential. In addition, I reassure you that I will not share the information collected outside of my course and that no identifying information will be shared. I will respect and follow all the school’s policies and procedures in a professional manner.

This research report presents an analysis of and conclusions drawn from the experiences and perspectives of two educators that work in the early childhood setting. The main objective is to identify key elements and issues in relation to the families, diversity and difference. In particular how an early childhood educator implements, different approaches to honour culture and diversity, and to advocate for social justice in an early childhood settings. As such, it allows an insight into the important role that families and their background plays in the everyday lives of the children and educators within early childhood settings. In today’s ever-changing growing society it is essential for educators to be flexible to the

Early education for children is very crucial as it helps shape up the foundation of their knowledge and behavior development process. Children begin to develop the sense of curiosity from the age of two. And from age 2-8, children go through a very crucial period of mental development, which shapes up their future mindset (Grayson, 2016). Early children education (ECE) has been listed as the number one priority of the National Association of Education. The teachers or educators at nursery and primary level are responsible to for developing young children’s sense of knowledge and education. In this paper, we will assess the roles and skills that are vital for an early childhood educator. Moreover, the paper will also present a

The kind of observations that was used is “Running Records”. The place is Desert Sky Mall in the play area in the middle section of halls. The time it took place is on Saturday afternoon. This is the time chosen, because there are many families at the mall during the weekend hours. The respect I show for the families is by sitting back in the seats provided for the public, and not interfering with any interactions that were happening between the child and father. Also, being respectful, by not being biases or judgmental towards actions that were being observed. The description of the observation is between a small child around the age of two years and his father. Also, other children that were in the play area, that interacted with the young

Emile is a thirteen year old child who is currently in the 9th grade at the Leman Manhattan Preparatory School in Manhattan, NY. He reported that he has attended since kindergarten. He stated that he has developed close friends in school, and feels comfortable there.

In conclusion, it can be drawn by the person’s cognitive development that children are able to learn. First, concrete operational is a stage from a lot age 7 to 12. This stage means that children will become concrete. Children understand speed, causation, numbers and size. If a person never develops past the concrete operational stage, he or she will never make it to the formal operational stage. They will not be reaping the benefits of the formal operational stage. The child would only be able to learn about numbers, but want be able to talk about the concepts. The child would be concrete in their understanding. We would only be able to understand at minimal, but would be able to learn simple steps. We would be stuck mentally in the learning

Then concrete stage a big changing point in a child's cognitive development. It is the starting poin of logical/operational thought. The child is now to the point that they are mature enough to use logical thought/operations whre they can only apply it to physical objects and do some problem solving.

The life course approach analyzes the life of an individual within a social and cultural context (Maggi 2010). It is important to understand these structures as they aid in determining what makes wealthy societies healthier than others. Early child development determines future health outcomes through latent, pathway and cumulative effects. Factors such as family, education, socio-economic status and exposure to disease influence a child’s development. This paper represents a critical analysis of the implications of this approach associated with early childhood development. I will first give you my view on this social phenomenon following the social gradient and how it is manifested in this life stage. I will then discuss the implication that could help improve health in early childhood.

In the quest of understanding cultural influences on infant’s development, masters of early childhood education have set forth articles and books on this topic. This paper takes a look at one published article that addressed cultural influences on infant’s attachment and temperament, in which the author has conducted research on these subjects. In addition, this paper elaborates four published books, in which the authors have also researched cultural influences on infant’s attachment, temperament, and one Portable Document Format book online that bases its statements on the authors’ research on culture influence infant’s temperament. These masters of early childhood education presented their perspectives base on the research they studied in

The Berlo Model of Communication will fit my major which is Early Childhood Education. The source will help the student with their communication skills, attitude, knowledge, social system and culture. The message for early childhood education major is to give the children lecture so that they can understand what did been taught. The channel help them to process by hearing so that they will understand what the speaker or that person is saying and seeing help them by visualizing by looking at it. Receiver is a knowledge should also be at par with the listener and must know about the subject. I think this model will fit my major.

In the concrete operational stage between the ages of seven and twelve, children become capable of logical thought, they also start to be able to think abstractly. However they are best suited to visible or concrete objects and things they can see (Lee and Gupta). Once the child has reached the formal operations stage from twelve years onwards it becomes more practiced at abstract processing, carrying out problem solving systematically and methodically thus completing the cognitive development process.

The Reggio Emilia approach is one that is a model, inspiring early childhood development education. . As children are natural explorers, they enjoy their environment and would love it to be a part of their own creation and knowledge. A typical day in a center that is based off of the Reggio Emilia approach is centered on the interests of the child and the guidance from the teachers. There are various opportunities that are provided to the children from a Reggio Emilia Approach.
