A Case Study on Child Development

Over the course of the semester I closely followed Julie, a ten-year-old girl in the fifth grade. I wanted to find out how Julie was developing within five domains of child development. These domains are cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral development. I collected data through observations, interviews, formal assessments, and extant data. After evaluating Julie in the five domains of child development, I recommend strategies to ensure healthy development in all domains.

Tug O’ War: Identity Development of an 8-Year-Old Homeschool Boy

This poster presentation evaluates the research I conducted on an eight-year-old homeschool boy “Mr. P”. My study in this area of his development was guided by the question: “Where is Mr. P in his identity development and how do the variables around him influence this?” My methods for collecting data were primarily observation, interviews with Mr. P and his family members, and artwork done by Mr. P. The findings made a connection between Mr. P’s self-concept, self-esteem, and Erikson’s Industry v. Inferiority concept. The data displays a “Tug O’ War” within Mr. P as his identity is challenged and growing pains ensue. The inner struggle is a healthy one and my recommendations for continued healthy development are embedded within D. Pink’s autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Mr. P’s identity is richly embedded within this presentation, giving you a glimpse of his life and how it connects to developmental psychology.

Is Julia Developing Normally?

This poster presents the data I collected over the course of this semester on the cognitive, physical, identity, social and moral development of a 12-year-old girl. I will present each of these domains separately on the poster and each domain will have a brief summary of my findings and an analysis of my subject’s development in relation to other girls her age. The methods I employed in order to gather data were interviewing the subject, her parents and her friends, observing the subject, and analyzing her journals and academic records. I found that the subject of my study was experiencing normal and healthy development. I conclude my project with recommendations for the subject to continue experiencing development.

16 going on 7

This poster presentation will address the cognitive development of a student with special needs within the Eugene-Springfield area. Shrek is a sixteen-year-old male who currently attends high school. Research was collected for the case study addressing five domains: cognitive, social, psychological, moral, and physical development. This data was collected over a time frame of 9 weeks. Outside resources as well as data retrieved and recorded from the participant, his family, two close-observing teachers, and a multitude of extant data were used to understand, developmentally, where this student is at during this period of time in his life. Compared to his general education peers, Shrek is functioning at a low-cognitive level and, according to Piaget, would be placed in the Pre-Operational stage in cognitive development. But I believe that he will be able to function relatively well in the world after he leaves high school.

Oliver the Inventor

As teachers it is important to know a student, not just their name. In my Childhood Development class, we conducted a case study lasting three months. I looked at the development of a young boy. My participant chose to go by the name Oliver. Oliver is a seven year old boy, who attends public school in the Eugene/Springfield area. In hopes of understanding my participant and his development, I want to answer the question, is Oliver showing healthy development in each of the five domains based on his age? The five domains I looked at were cognitive development, physical development, identity development, social development, and moral development. I used a variety of methods to assess Oliver’s development. The finding suggest Oliver is experiencing healthy development in all the five domains. The study provides recommendations for continued healthy development.

How You Doin’

A case study was conducted to determine how an elementary aged student is developing in five developmental domains, cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral development. The individual that took part in this study is Scarlet Maganous, who is currently ten years old attending a local elementary school in Eugene. This case study was conducted in the first three months of fall semester 2015. The methods used for data collection included observations, interviews, and formal assessments. The data collected suggest that Scarlet has healthy development in all five domains. Since she is developing at healthy levels in every domain, there are not any areas that need serious improvement. However, I have created some suggestions in each domain for Scarlet to take into consideration if she wants to continue to maintain positive developmental growth.

Jetter

This poster displays the developmental growth of a seven year old, second grade boy, who will be referred to as Jetter. This poster displays the results of the question: where is Jetter’s development at in each of the five domains of development? Those domains are cognitive development, physical development, social development, moral/spiritual development, and identity development. To answer that question, I used a variety of methods including personal interviews, phone calls and emails for communication, as well as personal observations and Piaget testing. The results of those interviews, observations and tests suggest that Jetter developing at a normal rate in all five domains for a seven year old student. Details of what that entails will be discussed during my poster presentation.

Child Development

The goal of this paper was to gather information to examine 2 separate children. In this case study there are 2 different girls who are sisters with a 3 year age difference. This paper is going to examine cognitive, social, psychological, moral and physical development of both the developing adolescence. This paper will also make recommendations to help the 2 participants reach or maintain a normal healthy development stage. Data was collected using a series of methods including: Personal Interviews both with Pam( 16 years old & Beth( 13 years old) parents, siblings and 3 different people who observe these girls in there everyday life. In these observations that were conducted they were both at home and observing both girls play volleyball

Adolescent Development

We have studied adolescent development in 5 domains; cognitive, social/emotional, identity, moral and physical. In our presentation we will inform the audience about each of the three subjects in one of the 5 domains. The goal will be to compare and contrast the subjects while articulating our findings. Through research and observation we have found that boys are still behind girl in social and emotional development but have caught up in cognitive, identity and physical development.

Case Study of a Six-Year-Old Girl

This case study presents the data and analysis of a six-year-old girl. The participant’s development was researched over the period of approximately one month in the following five domains: cognitive, physical, social, identity, and moral. The data was obtained through interviews with the participant and her mother, observations of the researcher, and academic data. The study found that the participant was experiencing healthy, age appropriate development in all five domains, though the physical domain had the most cause for concern of the five.

The Tale of Two Adolescents

Throughout a period of time, we observed two adolescent children in five developmental areas. These areas were cognitive, social, identity, physical, and moral development. One student is a 16 year old boy and the other is a 14 year old girl. We found that they are both are developing as expected for their age and gender. However, we also noticed that the two acted and behaved very differently compared to one another.

Self Esteem in Adolescent Girls

In our time researching two adolescent girls we have seen different levels of self esteem and self efficacy among our two participants. One our our participants has a low self esteem and efficacy, while another has semi-high self esteem and efficacy. The purpose of our presentation is to explore the reasons behind these two different levels of their image of themselves.

Developmental Domains

This is a case study on a six year old girl whom we have collected data on by several different techniques. By observation, interviews, tests, and extant data we have been able to analyze her development in each of the five domains. We closely examined her in the developmental domains of physical, cognitive, social, moral and personal. After data collection and review it has led us to analyze her development and compare it to another case study participant.

Development of a Six-year old Boy

This paper investigates five of six-year-old Cody and Carter’s developmental domains, which are cognitive, physical, social, personal, and moral development. For the purposes of this research, interviews of Cody and Carter, their families, and teachers, experiments, observations, and tests were used. All the facets of research helped to diagnose Cody and Carter’s developmental level in each domain. The research shows that Cody and Carter are developing normally in all areas. For a continued normal development minor suggestions had been made in each developmental domain.

Child Development Case Study

The reason for this research-based project is to evaluate a child developmentally in comparison to other children their age. The student will be evaluated to see if they are progressing normally according to the educational research of psychologists like Piaget, Marcia, Bandura, and others. Over a month, data was gathered from the subjects of this research project, third-grade boy and girl twins who are referred to as James and Rosie. Data was collected in cognitive, physical, personal, identity, and moral categories and will be compared to data collected by education researchers. Evaluations and recommendations will be made based upon the twins’ progress. It appears that James and Rosie are developing normally.

Developmental Case Study of Three Elementary Age Children

The purpose of this project is to study the developmental stages of a 7-year old male subject who resides in a middle to upper class home in the Springfield area. Over the course of two months, interviews, observations, games, and cognitive tests were conducted to gather information in order to compare his developmental process according to cognitive psychologist Jean Piaget’s developmental stages. The developmental stages observed and recorded were Cognitive Development, Physical Development, Self Concept and Self Esteem, Social Development, and Values and Moral Development. Upon examination of all areas and careful analysis of text information, it was noted that case subject is developing normally to slightly above his age level.
