The field of Human Development is responding to the many changes in methodology, direction, and content provided by research from the last thirty years or more. It is now your turn to respond to these new directions. Read all of the assigned reading and the lectures (7.1, 7.2, and 7.3).
In this module, you discussed the theme of Positive Psychology in the field of Human Development. In this last assignment:
Write about the remaining three themes of Multiculturalism, Biology and Sociology, and the Feminist Perspectives. Have they augmented your views on Human Development?
Compare these new theories to the older theories of Freud, Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky and Bandura.
Please provide an integrative theme for ‘what you know now that you didn’t know then' (at the start of the course)
Please use this as your main source:
Martha Lally and Suzanne Valentine-French (2017). Lifespan Development: A Psychological Perspective. Creative Commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 International.
This essay should be between 750-1000 words long (not including heading and references). This essay needs to be long enough to get the job done thoroughly. You may write an essay longer than 1000 words. You may not write an essay shorter than 750 words without being penalized in your grade. You must cover everything listed below in order to obtain a high mark.
***This assignment requires a minimum of 4 supporting references with corresponding in-text citations. The references should include a combination of information from the textbook, the Watson audio lectures, the assigned articles for reading, and the Moodle book pages.
Writing and citations should be in APA format. For example, (Lally & Valentine-French, 2017).
Note: For all written assignments, only the material assigned in the course should be cited. Show evidence of thoroughly reading and listening to the course resources. This is preferable to outside research. If you also provide additional resources, they will be graded on their scholarly credibility; that means sources of questionable truth may result in a lower grade on the essay and sources of good credibility may result in a higher grade.
Note: For this written assignment, no research is required beyond the course materials.
