At the end of the semester you will help to determine your grade for ECE 209 based on your Self-Assessment of what you have learned. In preparation for your Self-Assessment, answer the questions below; you will answer these questions at the end of each module so you have a record of what you have learned over the semester. You can answer the questions here on Open Lab or create a journal on Blackboard (which would be private).
- What did you learn in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar?
- Information/ knowledge
- Skills
- Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
- How will the material from these modules better prepare you to work with infants?
This week i learned about social development i found it interesting because i had no idea that that smallest things were considered to be emotional development . I learned how to support a child’s emotional and social development. I didn’t know that mimicking a child’s behavior was supporting their social and emotional development.
This week I learned more about how babies emotions are figured out. I knew that they experience different emotions but not how they regulated their emotions and how quickly they developed emotions. I think it’s really interesting that they can develop all emotions by the age of 6 months. I also think that it’s interesting to see them mimic other behaviors that adults do even thought. they may not know what it means yet.
it’s also cool to learn about these things and be able to see/ hear about how we were as babies and are now able to identify what stages we were going through at the time. Watching the video abut temperament I was able to relate to the cautious child and interesting to see methods of getting that child to get more comfortable with a new situation. When I was younger my parents would make me feel comfortable to some extent but I think they had a really hard time with understanding that for new situations I just may need more time that usual. Before the beginning of my swim lessons I used to get really scared and I would need more time to warm up to the idea but they didn’t understand that and would tell the teacher to just throw me in the pool. Being a swim instructor I know now that that isn’t what you want to do for a child that may be scared. They may just need more time.
In this week module I learned that self-regulation is very important because children who can manage their emotions are able to learn tasks rather than being overwhelmed by feelings.This will prepare me to work with infants because I’ll know some practices on how to help them.
I learned a lot in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar
First, I learn about the different aspects of Social and Emotional Development such the different types of Emotions that infants present. In addition, I learned about the infants relationships with others, The theory of “Trust and Mistrust”, as well as the “Theory of attachment.” I discovered that the infants personality is heavily influenced by the baby’s temperament . Finally. I got an insight about how the practices and values in different cultures influenced in the child’s development, as well as the differences between the child’s natural rhythms and establishing a set schedule.
I learned that babies can express themselves by using facial expressions. I find it amazing how the 2-month-old baby learned how to shake her head “no” just by looking at her dad and coping him. Not all babies can shake their heads “no”. Having a baby trying to copy us and try to express themselves shows us that they are aware of their surroundings.
This week I learned a lot about social and emotional development, about infant’s temperament. The material from these modules will better prepare me to work with infants because I gained knowledge of how to support child’s development
This week I learned about different cultural aspects and social emotional development. I learned how to properly help children develop in their social emotional stages because there are so many milestones that children have to reach at a certain age. The material from this module will help me learn how to be sensitive to my children’s different cultures and help learn how to make sure children reach certain milestones at certain ages.
This week I learned more about babies and their differences on their culture and beliefs on social/emotional development. I learned about the relationships with infants and their caregivers and all of their developmental stages as they turn a different month or year. This material from this weeks module with help me learn how to adapt to children’s needs/ cultural differences.
I learned how culture plays a big role in a babies life and their beliefs in the child’s social/emotional development. I will adapt this by respecting each child’s cultural background.
