PERRY.The theory is a classic model for intellectual development in college students. The theory was first developed in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The theory discusses three stages: dualism, multiplicity, and relativism. William Perry’s theory is based on his studies of the cognitive and ethical development in undergraduate students. He believes that college students go through four stages of mental and moral develop. The four states are dualism, multiplicity, relativism, and lastly commitment. These four stages are then further divided into nine positions. Perry's theory is especially useful because he details not only specific stages but how people arrive and change to get to each stage. The first stage that is typically discussed for …show more content…
Take a look at the figure below, which illustrates the impact of imbalance. Too much support (A), and the student will never really learn what they need to grow and develop…too much challenge (B), and the student will become frustrated and possibly quit trying. A third factor of this model that Sanford added in 1966 is the element of readiness. Simply put, an individual cannot grow until they are physically or psychologically ready to grow. For example, introducing quantum physics to a third grader is probably not a great idea…he/she is simply not ready for it (if they are, I’m sure our admission’s office would like to meet them!). How does all of this relate to the real world? The college experience is one of the greatest periods of growth in a young person’s life. For that growth to occur, each of our students need to be challenged (and supported) appropriately through a variety of experiences, both inside and out of the classroom. Some of these experiences may be unpleasant, like a failing grade in a class. Challenge and support does not imply that the student will never experience failure or negative consequences, but what it does imply is that when
This may or not be appropriate to an exchange of Capote's relationship to indicted and executed killer Perry Smith. More then likely, however, it is exceptionally pertinent, as Capote's flawed journalistic strategies in building up an association with Smith both undermined his believability with contemporary researchers and perusers and infused into examinations the creator's sexual introduction and whether his homosexuality assumed a part by they way he drew closer and controlled the less-taught, less-refined criminal.

Robert Davis was an African American man. He was not a “thug,” he was not a “drunk,” he was a retired school teacher from New Orleans who was in his sixties. He was brutally attacked by three police officers. He suffered a broken nose and other broken bones in his face. The incident was recorded and went viral. Davis was arrested but faced no charges. Three police officers were charged but only two went to trial. In the end, two of the police officers were fired — the third never made it to trial because he had committed suicide. Davis was compensated for the assault.

This theory focuses solely on children’s cognitive development so that is both a strength and a weakness as it gets an in-depth understanding of children’s cognitive processes however it cannot be generalised to adults. Another strength of this theory is the fact that it can be applied practically within the real world, especially in regards to education as it means children can be taught based upon their developmental stage. It is extremely useful in that sense as it is nomothetic so it can be applied to larger population. The theory contains both continuous and discontinuous, it is discontinuous as it contains distinct hierarchal stages. It is good in one sense as it allows professionals to see if a child is meeting the stages and if they do not action can be taken. At the same time it can be disadvantageous as professionals, such as teachers may not push a child to reach their full cognitive capabilities as they have met the criteria for their age. At the time this was quite revolutionary as children were once considered “little adults” that only has a slightly less mental and developmental capacity. Therefore they may not have learnt as effective as they could, as they may have been taught above or below their capacity. However with that said it has been suggested that his stages of

Many historians think about how Pennsylvania had a big impact on the United States that we call home today.Pennsylvania was one of the first thirteen colonies which also means it was one of the first states to come up with laws.The reason Pennsylvania had such a big effect on the United States history is that our ancestors made fairly good decisions but they also made bad decisions.When William Penn founded Pennsylvania in 1681 on what was known as the Quaker religion. When people look at the history Pennsylvania they see the good things our ancestors chose to do when it came to setting up the thirteen colonies, but what most people overlook is the bad things they chose to do like how they slaughtered thousands of Indians at one time.So with
Brea Perry grew up in a household where she was less fortunate than others, yet through her multiple step backs, she always managed to be an extremely hardworking and determined person in life. The fact that she was born into a low income household always seemed to pop up in different stages of her life. She had a difficult time- from having to manage a part time job as she worked her way through high school to having to set back her start of college because of lack of financial aid. It seemed her strive and dedication to get an education and better her knowledge were always matched with adversities in that process. My sister, like many other students coming from the lowest economic background, seem to have a harder time pursuing higher education. The struggle for students of low income households residing in the lowest economic class experience
Feldman’s description of development conforms to Hawkins’ (n.d.) design of the different systems symbolized by his concentric circles regarding the development of a person’s personality. According to Hart (1999), Wilson (2001), and Backus and Chapian (2000) to change the way one thinks it is necessary to effect change in one’s live because thoughts influence how events and other people are perceived. Everyone has different influences in their lives, from families to beliefs to economic situations; therefore, each person is a distinct and unique individual.

Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle in their book “Rereading America” feel that commencing college is a very disturbing experience. So many things we have to deal while starting college, but the major challenges are expanded difficulty levels and higher expectation which we are not familiar over the years of high school. In order to solve this issue, we have to remodel ourselves by taking up the challenge and rethink about our strength and flaws. To succeed in college we need to be mentally strong and dedicated towards our goal.
A. In my essay will explain how an understanding of human growth and development can assist the counsellor in responding to the needs of the client. I have chosen three theories in three different models. My first model is psychodynamic and I will look at Sigmund frauds theory of development. The second model is humanistic and I will be covering Rogers and Maslow. My last model I will cover in this essay is social Erikson’s lifespan development theory. My essay will look at the theories and the application of each theory and I shall explain how an understanding of human growth and development can assist the counsellor in responding to the needs of the client.
Successful college experiences revolve around three major areas: the transition, being successful in classes/schoolwork, and involvement. These three areas have been determined from my work in the Housing and Residential Programs Department for the past three years, as this is my first lass focusing on student development theories. The three areas are must all be present in some way, shape, or form in order for success. The first step is the transition from high school to college. This is inclusive of moving away from home, and entering into an entirely different miniature society. Incoming students need to learn to adapt to their new surroundings, develop relationships, and a find their support system. Adaptation is important, for many
