SOC 312 Child Family and Society

SOC 312 (Child Family and Society)

 Week 1

Week 1 DQ 1 Bronfenbrenners Ecological

Model

Your text uses Bronfenbrenners ecological

model to explain how childrens development
is affected by different groups within their
world. Using this theory, we can understand
how children are socialized both intentionally
and unintentionally. You must understand
how this theory applies to your own
upbringing as well as a young childs
upbringing in order to truly comprehend the
concept. Use your understanding of this
theory to respond to the questions below.

Week 1 DQ 2 Agents of Socialization

Agents of socialization include parents,

siblings, extended family, community, culture,
 economic environment, religion, child care,
school, teachers, peers, formal organizations,
sports, mass media, and technology. In an
ideal world, these agents would complement
one another in order to best influence a childs
development. Choose three of the above
agents and discuss how these agents can
have both a positive and negative influence on
a childs development. Include examples from
your own experience and share ways you
believe the agents of socialization could be
improved.

Week 2

Week 2 DQ 1 The Theory of Mind

 Watch the following short film, Theory of
Mind.mov, demonstrating the theory of mind
using a juice box experiment.

At around four years of age, a fundamental

change occurs in childrens understanding of
others behaviors or what is also called theory
of mind. Using your knowledge from our
readings, watch the video to determine which
stage both Jacob and Patrick are currently in
respectively.

Discuss both Jacobs and Patricks reaction to

the mean monkey. What stage would
Erickson say each child is in? How do these
different stages influence their values and
attitudes? Do you think it is possible for a
child over the age of three to have trouble
understanding that his or her beliefs can be
false? Explain your reasoning.
 Week DQ 2 Self-Regulation

Regardless of a childs unique qualities, one

thing remains the same; to improve learning
and behavior, children must develop strong
self-regulation skills. Read the following
article from the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC),
Developing Young Childrens Self-Regulation
Through Everyday Experiences.

Week 3

Week 3 DQ 1 Motivators
 You are a preschool teacher. Describe a
situation in which you would use an extrinsic
reward to motivate a preschooler. Discuss
how these motivators could result in learned
helplessness. Now give examples and explain
how you can lead the same child to achieve
intrinsic motivation by becoming their own
locus of control. Keep in mind that your end
goal is for the child to be intrinsically
motivated so they have ownership of the
behavior.

Week 3 DQ 2 Control

The role of the microsystem in shaping

childrens effortful control is important and
parents play a critical role. What would you
recommend to a parent who asks you what he
or she can do to promote his or her preschool
childs self-regulation skills? Now turning to
 the mesosystem, identify examples of
influences on the childs effortful control you
can share with the parent.

Provide examples of influences on childrens

effortful control that you have observed in
your own family and other families who are
close to you.

Week 4 DQ 1 Cultural and Linguistic

Differences

Listen to the Cultural and Linguistic

Differences podcast from The IRIS Center, or

Ford has to say about prejudice and
stereotyping.

Discuss how educators can positively

influence a school-age child to not hold biases
or prejudices against others. Give an example
of how you can create a community of
learners who support one another by fostering
positive attitudes. Give an example of how
you could teach your students the importance
of acceptance. Your post must address the
children in the concrete operational stage.

Week 4 DQ 2 Bullying

Bullying is a prevalent issue during middle

childhood. Watch following video, The Power
of One School Video Sample.
 Choose one of the situations presented:
Diego, Timmy, or Kendra. Briefly describe the

Week 5 DQ 1 Technology
 Your text shares many negative effects of
technology and the medias influence on
children. Regardless, technology is
increasing rapidly and is only becoming a
larger portion of our childrens lives. First,
choose an age level (toddler, pre-school, or
elementary age). Then, list three positive
examples of how technology has enhanced
socialization for children in that age group.
Give two additional examples of how
parents/educators can use technology to
further enhance a childs socialization.

Week 5 DQ 2 Nonparental Care

Choose one of the three nonparental care

choices: nannies, center-based, or family-
based care. Pretend you are trying to sell your
chosen method of care to a prospective client
who is a parent of a toddler. Share the
advantages of your childcare setting so that
the parent chooses your method to care for
their child. Address the following in your
post: socialization, cost, turnover, and any
