The Study of Adolescent Learners and How They Develop

Cognitively we will talk about their development based on Piaget along with what their learning style’s are. We will address their physical development by studying body mass indexes (BMIs). This study will cover three specific individuals we studied but will also include general terms for adolescents in the K-12 spectrum.

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.
