My Personal Research Journey

I chose to research the topic on how children learn and develop. After reading many articles, I realized that all children learn differently and I would like to learn more about the stages and how researchers conclude data. Psychologist Kendra Cherry proposed a number of theories to describe and explain the process of development in children (2003). Children experience a number of changes from birth to adulthood. It is important that parents and teachers nurture our little ones anMy Personald give them the emotional and social support at an early age. Piaget’s theory was center around the cognitive stages. He pointed out the importance of intellectual development. Where as Erick Erickson look at the developmental stages of the child’s lifespan. He explained what will happen at childhood, teenage and adult life as it relates to psychosocial stages. Freud, he proposed a theory of fixation as it relates to psychosexual. And Lawrence Kohlberg proposes a stage theory which focuses on the moral development that can be broken down into many stages. I’ve gain a lot this week researching articles. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a research paper, but things seem to be falling into place. I am thankful for this class and I know that I will need my classmates, so I will be asking for advice. Reference: www.psychology.about.com Education/ Psychology/ Development‎
