Lucy P Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi everyone I am currently working on this question: Relevant research into the influences on how children develop and how this research may influence practice So far i have written about 16 pages, mainly covering Behaviourism ~ Pavlov and Skinner Social learning Theory ~ Bandura Constuctivism ~ Piaget Social constructivism ~ Vygotsky My question is, have i covered the main points?? It seems i have written loads but not covered that much!! I am starting to think i should have covered nature / nurture and maturation aswell. Think i am having a bit of a confidence problem at the moment, i am finding the most basic questions the hardest!! I learnt all about this 18 years ago whilst doing the NNEB, so i should be able to answer the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I may be totally wrong because I don't know what has been covered in your 'taught' sessions but could the title of your assignment mean more up to date research? ie: Rose report has influenced the Synthetic phonics now in practice. The EPPE research looked at the environment, teacher qualifications and and more and how these factors impact on practice. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy P Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hmmm..... i'm not sure!!! Thanks Peggy for the different perspective, one which hadn't entered my mind!!! I am undertaking the qualification through a training company, so not really receiving any teaching sessions, unfortunately my assessor has been on sick leave for the past 6 weeks, so has been difficult to access support. She is due to return and visit me next monday so i think its best that i don't go any further until i have spoken to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, I'm a bit puzzled - are you not already Level 3? As a Manager? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy P Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Sue Im doing Level 4 CCLD at the mo, although it appears that many questions from level 3 appear in level 4 too. I've been told that that content of answers needs to be more in depth at level 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sounds reasonable! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 For my level 3 DPP we had to study theorists - Piaget etc. and also research into influences on a child's overall development. I used info from the EPPE study as Peggy said. Pen Green also had some research projects which I found really interesting. I've posted a link - don't know if it's what you need but hope it helps. http://www.pengreen.org/ Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
