My case of study video

In teaching practicum I we learnt the different stages of the childhood( Toddlerhoo, early childhood and middle childhood). Therefore, in this three stages there are some areas that we had to be focus( physical , cognitive and physhocial develomet. 

After undertand the different stages we had to put  in practice what we understood about the three stages of the childhood, so we had to proccess all the information about them and make a video with childs of the different stages. For example, one of the toddlerhood, one of the early childhood  and other of the middle childhood.

Toddlerhood  

              Ashley Cristela ...................  1 year old

Early childhood 

Josseline Abigail    ..............................  5 years old

Middle childhood

Iliana Abigail............................... 7 years old

Before to star doing the video I had to colect the information learnt in the class about the different stages in childhood with their respectives areas( physical, cognitive and psychosocial develoment that they were in.) for this information I looked on internet  and also the chapter studied in the class " Physical develoment in Early childhood" in order to have a clear idea about each stage.

Then, I looked for the kids according with the age of each stage.As a result, I did the video with the whole information that I had learnt and understood about the three different stages of the childhood.

 I analized when child  at a time in order to know their specif abilities in the three areas like in the cognitive,physical develoment and psychosocial.

After I had done my case of video I editated it.

Toddlerhood

Ashely Cristela.......................1 year old

Physical Develoment

Physical development refers to both gross and fine motor skills. Gross motor development involves using the body’s large muscles Children develop physical awareness by using large muscles when crawling, walking, jumping, climbing, sliding, and throwing a ball. They gain self-confidence and a sense of control by using these skills.

According with Ashely she was able to walk without any support, throw a ball, playing with teir favirites toys ect.

Cognitive Develoment

Cognitive development refers to thinking skills, such as learning, understanding, problem solving, reasoning, memorizing, and attending. Developmental specialists look at how children apply learned concepts to everyday situations. Children develop cognitive skills by learning about causes and effects in everyday activities and similarities and differences in things around them. Thinking skills help make all experiences more meaningful to children.

she was able to understand what I said . For example, when I ask her abouth the ball she started to look for the ball and then, we she had the ball she look at me like if she wanted to say " here is the ball" when  she had the ball she started to played with the ball. As a result, she can understand what other people said and also she can reconize the things that there are in her house like some objects, the TV, the name of her favorite toy. Therefore, she also can imitate her mother or other people.  For example, when she sees someone dancing, she starts dancing.

Ashely showed anability to comunicate with other because she has an understending speech. However, she is able to pronounces some words like: Agua, ma-ma, pa-pa, hola, and she can move her hand to say bye. Even though she shows an understanding speech but she can pronounce the words mentioned before. Therefore, she can reconize when someone asks her something because she shows with actions and facial expresion that she understand what others say.

Psychosocial development

In this aged is believe that childs are selfish because they do not like to share their toys. However, according with Ashley, she did not show any problem to share her toys, probably because she is only 1 year and she can not realize yet about sharing toys and things like those. However, even though she is only want year old, she likes to be around other child even though she is not able to playing with them but she likes to be next to them. 

Early Childhood

Josseline Abigail    ..............................  5 years old

Physical develoment

In this age child are able to do many physical activities like run,jump,balance and coordination. 

According with Josseline she was able to develop physical activities like throw a ball, dance, run and jum. As a result, her physical develoment was well develop according with her age.

Cognitive Development

In this area childs have to understand the different colors, categorize things, they can draw simple stick figures and copy shapes. Such as, circles, squares and large letters.

Josseline was able to do some activities in order to know if the cognitive development was well develop.

Some activities that she did were. For example, she was able to write her name in a piece of paper, she was able to draw. Therefore, she was able to follow directions. For example, when I asked her if she could write her name and she said "Yes", so I told her that if she could write her name in a piece of paper and she clear understand what I asked her.

Her cognitive develop was well develop according what I read( Jean piaget) 

Psychosocial development

In this area is when childs beging understand their own emotions and they can perceive how others feel. Therefore,child develop friendship with other kids. Also , they love competitive games.

According with Josseline she was able to show friendship with my baby and with me because it was the first time thet she talk with me because I had never talked with her before. However, she was able to develop all the activities for my case of video.

Middle Chilhood 

Iliana Abigail............................... 7 years old

Physical Develoment

Childs are able to skip,stop and change directions while running, jumping and climbing.

Abigail was able to run, and jump. her Physical develop was well develop according with the activities that she did.

Cognitive Development

"Conservation of number develops soon after this. Piaget set out a row of counters in front of the child and asked her/him to make another row the same as the first one.  Piaget spread out his row of counters and asked the child if there were still the same number of counters.  Most children aged seven could answer this correctly, and Piaget concluded that this showed that by seven years of age children were able to conserve number".

According with the theory of Piaget, Abigail was able to conserve a number with a "conservation of number deveolp  activity that she did in the video"  she answered in a correct way everything that I asked her because she is able to undesrtand more about  things that happen around her.Therefore, she is able to start thinking about the future and her goals and she pays more attention to friendships and  team work. So that is good.

Psychosocial development

child can understand emotions about the people who are around them, they can know  whether a person is agry or not. Therefore, childs   Want to be liked and accepted by friends.

To conclude: everything studied about childs in this period are totally true with Salvadorean kids. All the theories are true ( Jean Piaget, Lev Vygoski and Erick Erickson).Starting wiyh the physican develoment the three child in my case video weere able to do the activities related with physical develoment. Second, in the cognitive develoment, these three childs were able to do and understand the thing relate to this area according with their age. Finally, in the Psychosocial development, these three childs were exactly about the information of the theories about their emotion, sharing toys and percieve the feelings of the other people.

With this case of study I learnt a lot because I put in practice what I had read about the three different stages of the childhood.
