DISCUSS THE ROLE AND IMPACT OF ECEC PROVIDERS ON THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF INFANTS AND TODDLERS.

Influence

 
Background: 
As Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) providers, we have a significant impact on the lives of children, starting with the care we provide for infants and toddlers. Research suggests that children’s overall social and emotional well-being provide a strong foundation for success and enable these children to pursue positive life goals. Additionally, children with strong social and emotional capabilities experience greater academic success and decreased learning difficulties (Woods, Smith, & Copper, 2010). We, ECEC providers, influence these infants and toddlers by building a strong social and emotional foundation for them to grow.

DISCUSS HOW SOME AUTHORS HAVE CRITICALLY ESTABLISHED THAT OBJECTIVITY, CERTAINTY (OR “ABSOLUTE TRUTH”) AND INDIVIDUALISTIC KNOWLEDGE ARE SIMPLIFIED AND PROBLEMATIC CONCEPTIONS REGARDING THE PRODUCTION OF SCIENTIFIC AND CASUAL KNOWLEDGE.

Discuss how some authors have critically established that objectivity, certainty (or “absolute truth”) and individualistic knowledge are simplified and problematic conceptions regarding the production of scientific and casual knowledge.  Take into consideration why this discussion is important in the realm of Psychology and how it opens up new and complex ways of understanding human actions.
 
When elaborating your essay take into account the following:
1)There’s three (3) conceptions that need to be critically examined (objectivity, certainty and individualistic knowledge), BUT you can decide to focus on one more than the others (since, as you will notice, the three are inter-related).
2)When discussing the case of Psychology, which is mostly discussed in Glasersfeld’s and Gergen’s text, try to elaborate at least one example (either inspired by the texts or one of
the many that appear in said texts) that show the importance of constructivism (or knowledge as a construction), subjectivity, language-games or, among other things, a psychology that takes into consideration the diversity of human experience.
3)You have to make use of at least three (3) of the assigned texts.

Assignment 1: LASA 2: The Forensic Psychology Booklet
 
Potential students often look for guidance regarding the programs that they are considering. You are a program assistant at a local university. You have been asked by your department chair (psychology) to create a booklet about the field of forensic psychology for potential students. This booklet will be given out at information sessions and will be sent to students requesting more information. The department chair asks you to create this booklet with the undecided student in mind, remembering that while you don’t want to scare students away, you also want to be truthful about the field. She asks for the following information to be included:
 
A description of the educational levels required and recommended (i.e. what can a MA level forensic psychologist do, versus a Doctorate level professional). Different roles that a forensic psychologist can take. This can include roles in the court and out as well as research possibilities. (2 pages)
A discussion of each of the following and discuss why is it important that all forensic psychologists need to be well-versed in them (3 pages):
 
Case Law
Specific Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and why they are important
Important past research in the field
Diversity issues
Ethical considerations
 
An analysis of at least three aspects of the American judicial system (such as eyewitness testimony, transfer of juveniles to criminal court, etc.), which are impacted most heavily by psychology and psychological research (3 pages). Be sure to discuss:
 
Three aspects of the American judicial system
How psychology has impacted these aspects
 
One research study for each aspect that is considered pivotal, classic or ground breaking in the field.
