    Chapter One of your text identifies the six most
    important questions in the study of childrens
    thinking
  • Are some capabilities innate?
  • ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 1 Important Questions in
    Children's Thinking
  • ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 2 Addressing Bias in
    Intelligence Testing
  • ECE 353 Week 1 The Piagetian Model
  • ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 1 Cultural Tools
  • ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 2 Educational Innovations

  • ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 2 Addressing Bias in
    Intelligence Testing
  • ECE 353 Week 1 The Piagetian Model
  • Addressing Bias in Intelligence Testing. Daniel,
    an eight-year-old child from a poor, inner-city
    neighborhood, is given a traditional IQ test. One
    section of the IQ test involves defining various
    words. Yacht is one of the words that Daniel is
    asked to define. Briefly discuss why the test
    administrator should be cautious when
    interpreting Daniels performance on this test.
    How does the triarchic theory potentially counter
    this bias? Develop and share three questions, one
    for each component of the triarchic theory
    (analytic, creative, and practical), that would
    provide a more accurate representation of
    Daniels intelligence.
  • The Piagetian Model. There is little argument
    that while not perfect, Piagets theories have
    had a profound impact on the field of cognitive
    development. Provide an analysis of his model as
    well as the challenges to it.

  • ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 1 Cultural Tools
  • ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 2 Educational Innovations
  • Cultural Tools. Cultural tools shape cognitive
    development and can include both technical tools,
    which act on the environment, and psychological
    tools, which are tools for thinking. Discuss
    Vygotskys belief that language is the most
    significant of the cultural tools. Do you agree
    or disagree? Examine the given images of other
    psychological tools. Choose one of the given
    tools and discuss how that tool may influence
    cognitive development from the perspective of the
    sociocultural theories. What do you feel are the
    ramifications of your tool on student learning?
    Is your chosen tool an example of the ratchet
    effect? Defend your answer.
  • Educational Innovations. Many educational
    innovations, such as dynamic assessment and FCL
    (Fostering Communities of Learners) classrooms,
    have incorporated insights about learning and
    development from the sociocultural theories.
    Choose either dynamic assessment or FCL. Define
    your choice, and discuss how it incorporates
    insights about learning and development from the
    sociocultural theories. Develop one activity that
    effectively illustrates your chosen educational
    innovation in practice.

  • ECE 353 Week 3 DQ 1 Phonological Acquisition
  • ECE 353 Week 3 DQ 2 Memory Facilitation
  • Phonological Acquisition. Watch the talk by
    Patricia Kuhl, entitled The Linguistic Genius of
    Babies.
  • How do her findings support language acquisition
    in regard to phonology as it is described in
    Chapter Six of your text? Include a discussion of
    the need for a social context when developing
    phonological awareness and why. How did your own
    social context impact your phonological awareness?
  • Memory Facilitation. Older children typically
    remember more than younger children. Identify and
    describe two strategies that older children use
    to facilitate their memories. Reflecting on your
    own personal experiences, what strategies do you
    employ to improve your memory? Discuss the
    relevance of strategies that facilitate memory
    within the context of classroom instruction.
    Share one instructional strategy that you feel is
    highly effective for most students.

  • ECE 353 Week 3 Journal Connecting to Classroom
    Practices
  • ECE 353 Week 4 DQ 1 Theories of Concept
    Representation
  • Connecting to Classroom Practices. In a one- to
    two-page journal entry, write a self-reflection.
    What is the relevance of this course to best
    practices in the classroom? In other words, how
    can an understanding of how children think
    improve your teaching skills, particularly in
    terms of differentiating student needs and
    abilities? Do you feel that you currently utilize
    an understanding of cognitive development in your
    own teaching?
  • Theories of Concept Representation. Identify and
    describe one of the three major theories of
    concept representation defining-features,
    probabilistic, or theory-based. What is the
    mechanism of conceptual development in your
    chosen theory? Provide an example (not given in
    the text) that illustrates the mechanisms of your
    chosen theory. How would a child likely respond
    to a given scenario from the perspective of your
    chosen theory?

  • ECE 353 Week 4 DQ 2 False Belief Tasks
  • ECE 353 Week 5 DQ 1 Planning in Problem Solving
  • False Belief Tasks. According to your text, the
    gold standard that researchers use to
    demonstrate understanding of belief is success on
    tasks that require understanding of ones own or
    another persons false belief (Siegler, 2005,
    pg. 318). Young children often fail false belief
    tasks. This finding has been interpreted in a
    number of different ways. Give an original
    example of a false belief task that could be
    given to a three-year-old (do not use an example
    from the text). Describe an interpretation of
    childrens poor performance on false belief
    tasks. Provide at least two factors that can
    enhance the performance of students on false
    belief tasks. How can preschool teachers utilize
    their knowledge of student performance on these
    tasks as well as their knowledge of performance
    enhancers when planning for instruction?
  • Planning in Problem Solving. Young children often
    fail to plan, even when doing so would facilitate
    their problem-solving performance. Select and
    describe one of the five reasons that children
    may fail to plan given on pages 357-358 of your
    text. Construct a classroom-based scenario that
    illustrates your chosen reason. What is the
    implication of your reason when considering the
    differing needs of students while planning for
    classroom instruction? What is one strategy that
    teachers can use to mediate the effects of these
    failures and support the problem-solving skills
    of their young students?

  • ECE 353 Week 5 DQ 2 Learning in Context
  • ECE 353 Week 5 Final Paper
  • Learning in Context. Context influences
    childrens performance in mathematics. This was
    illustrated in Carraher and colleagues (1985)
    classic study of Brazilian street vendors.
    Describe the method and results of Carraher and
    colleagues study, and discuss how the results
    support the claim that childrens mathematical
    problem-solving performance depends on context.
    Do you feel that these findings can also be
    applied to other academic areas? Provide a
    specific example of how a classroom teacher might
    use this research to facilitate learning in the
    classroom.
  • Final Paper
  • Chapter Twelve of your text identifies seven
    areas of cognitive development that have been
    addressed in this book perception, language,
    memory, conceptual understanding, social
    cognition, problem solving, and academic skills.
    Table 12.1 of the chapter also identifies the
    eight themes of childrens thinking, in general,
    that have filtered throughout the course of this
    text.

  • ECE 353 Week 5 Journal Course Reflection
  • Course Reflection. In a one- to two-page journal
    entry, reflect on your experience in ECE353.
    Which components of the course have influenced
    your thinking the most in regard to cognitive
    development? Identify one theory that had the
    most profound impact on your thinking (either
    positively or negatively) and describe why. What
    effect will this have on your classroom
    instruction?
