At Week 16 of the semester you will monitor your progress towards achieving your goals. Your learning, growth and progress towards achieving your goals will help to determine your grade for ECE 209. To monitor your progress towards meeting you goals, answer the questions below at the end of each module to document your progress over the semester.
- What did you learn in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar that connects to your goals?
- Information/ knowledge
- Skills
- Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
- How will the material from these modules help and support you to meet your goals?
This week I learned about how babies’ cognitive development grows and what they learn from things. This connects to my goals because it helped show me techniques on how to encourage a baby’s growth and development from an early age. I now know new techniques on how to show a baby what to do and as well know why they do certain things.
This week in Module 10 I learned about the importance of Children developing cognitive development skills in different ways. Like learning schemes which are when a child uses repetitive patterns to learn. Cause and effect children learn to cause things to happen. Use of tools like a child using their body to move things or crying to get attention. Objects permanence when infants understand that objects are permanent even out of sight. They learn to understand space, spatial relationships, and imitation.
Children’s thought processes develop in a purposeful and orderly manner as they explore and play. When a child makes a discovery, it may not appear to be significant in and of itself, but even a minor insight is part of a larger learning process. Infants using their caregivers as a tool is an important step in their cognitive development, and you’re right there with them. Children imitate adults in order to be social and communicate. Imitation is the primary method by which children learn to speak. They use the words and actions of others to organize their thoughts. This helps me because now am more aware of whats important for a child development and grow and it goes along my goals which is providing a nurturing and “like home” space for children to learn.
This week I learned that it’s important to encourage a child’s curiosity for a healthy brain development because it gets their brains to work more and explore. That teachers and parents create an environment where the children can roam around free without worry. Get them to do academic challenges and care for them other wise that can have a negative affect on them. Help them with the foundations of learning to control their moods, object permanence, and creating a safe space for them.
What did you learn in this week’s modules for ECE 209-Lecture and Seminar that connects to your goals?
I learned in this week’s module for ECE 209 lecture and seminar how to encourage children and how they observe objects and react. These are connected to my goal because they will help to understand how children grow and how I can babies develop memory and promote attention.
How will the material from these modules help and support you to meet your goals?
The material from the modules helps and supports me to meet my goals because I learned how children use tools at each age and how they learn to fit objects.

This week I learned infants and toddlers use there bodies as tools and They also use objects to Climb up on things if they can’t reach or move it in a place that they want it.It’s also good to help infants and toddlers learn and grow and don’t do things for them and just help them with the next step.
