Theory Case Paper Scenario & Additional Instructions
SCENARIO:
For this assignment, you are presented with a 6-year old child who is functioning approximately two years ahead of their age.
DEVELOPMENTAL MODELS:
1) Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory
2) Kohlberg’s Development of Moral Reasoning Theory
3) Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory
SCENARIO INSTRUCTIONS:
Select one of the major developmental models provided above through which you will
conceptualize the child described in the Scenario.
Your paper should contain the following elements:
A brief introduction that tells your readers what they should expect to find in your paper
An overview of your selected developmental model that includes:
The principal theorist generally credited with developing the theory
What led the theorist to develop the theory (e.g., why, when, what, etc.).
Any significant factors that helped and/or hindered the theory’s public acceptance
NOTE: The purpose of this section is to provide background contextual information about the theory and its development without writing a biography of the theorist.
Conceptualize the child using the developmental model you selected from the list above discussing the following stages of development:
The stage at which the child is currently
The most recent stage the child completed (i.e., the preceding stage)
The next stage in line for the child
Note any significant gender-based differences for each of the stages discussed.
Do you agree with the selected developmental model? Why? Why not?
Discuss your answers to the preceding questions using peer-reviewed, scholarly articles to support your opinion.
In other words, use existing, scholarly research to back up what you say so it is more than just your opinion.
It is perfectly acceptable to like or dislike a particular theory, or aspects thereof,
but it is also very important that you demonstrate critical analysis of your opinion.
A conclusion that summarizes your paper and reminds your readers of what you discussed without introducing any new elements, concepts, ideas, or thoughts—it simply wraps everything up neatly and “puts a bow on top” of your paper.
Your paper should also include a properly formatted APA 7th title page, abstract, and references page IN ADDITION to the required number of body pages as noted below.
When writing your paper, you should make sure that you use at least two (2) scholarly articles available in the Amridge University Library (nothing from the general internet, search engines, Wikipedia, or 3rd-party websites, etc). Also, your paper should adhere to the requirements provided in the course syllabus in the Theory Case Paper (QEP Signature Assignment) section (pp. 9 & 10).
For your convenience, the writing instructions from the syllabus for this assignment are provided here:
• Length: 4 to 6 pages, double-spaced throughout
• 12-point Times New Roman font
• Required Sources: Cite a minimum of 2 sources
• Formatted (including 1-inch margins), cited, and referenced in strict adherence to APA 7th guidelines
Research
Research the theory in as much detail as you can from professional, peer-reviewed (or refereed), journal articles that demonstrate a background of knowledge and skills in child growth and development. Be sure to include properly formatted APA 6 citations (and the matching references) as appropriate. Approach this case as if YOU are in charge of explaining this developmental theory to those working with and caring for this child.
You are expected to include citations and references as necessary according to APA 7th standards (see Chapters 6 & 7 in your APA manual for more guidance)
NOTE: Please keep in mind that these instructions apply to both Draft 1 and the Final version of your paper. Draft 1 is NOT a “rough draft” of your Final, but simply the first attempt to write your paper. Since this is a writing-intensive course, it is understood that you will submit, revise, and resubmit your paper with the intention of refining and improving it as you go.
