PLEASE LOOK AT THE ATTACTMENT FOR A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF THE PAPER IN TABLE FORMAT***MUST UNDERSTAND THIS A RESEARCH PAPER YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK THINGS UP****MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE ON EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
For
this assignment, the emphasis is on the subject domains of Math and Science in
early childhood education.
As
you know NAEYC has position statements and/or joint position statements for
math and science. You should use these position statements to help you
construct this assignment.
Math: A joint position statement of the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Adopted in 2002. Updated in
2010.
Science: NSTA position statement: Early childhood
science education
You
will construct one table that includes a math component and a science
component. The table involves deconstructing informal and formal DAP
instructional activities. The categories that you should consider are
components of the NAEYC math and science position statements.
The
template for the table is included below; you should use the template to guide
you. You will notice that the categories you are asked to complete are
different for math and science in the final column. For math, you are asked to
consider the use of technology. For science, you are asked to consider the use
of inquiry.
Interpreting
the components of the table is included here. All locations are given left to
right.
You
are asked to identify 3 DAP math activities (you see them listed vertically in
the first left column).
Two of the math activities that you locate should be
informal and formative learning experiences.
One of the math activities that you locate should be
formal and summative learning experiences.
You
are asked to identify 3 DAP Science activities (you see them listed vertically
in the first left column).
Two of the science activities that you locate should
be informal and formative learning experiences.
One of the science activities that you locate should
be formal and summative learning experiences.
Active
Link: This is Column 2 in the table and should simply be copying/pasting the
active link to the activity. It can be a video or the description of a lesson
activity you locate on a professional website on the Internet.
Math/Science
Concept: This is Column 3. In this column, you should include the
developmentally appropriate concept(s) that the activity is targeting.
Prerequisite
Concepts: This is Column 4. In this column, you should include concepts that
are required for the child to know and understand before the concept(s) being
taught in the activity you select.
Strategies:
This is Column 5. In this column, you should reflect on the specific strategies
that are involved in the activity to help students learn the target concepts.
Here you should also cite the supporting scholarly literature.
Development: This is Column 6. In this
column, you should provide information about what developmental
domains are being tapped during the activity and how the activity is addressing the developmental
domain. In this column, the developmental domains that you should focus on are
cognitive, social, emotional, physical, or behavioral. Here you should also
cite the supporting scholarly literature.
Student:
This is Column 7. In this column, you should include discussion points that
reflect how the activity meets the needs of the student. For example, does it
build on prior knowledge; include real-world experiences; integrate culture,
family, and/or community; address a special need (ESL, learning disability,
physical disability); or is it designed for learning styles (e.g., visual,
auditory, tactile, smell)?
Math-Technology:
This is the last column in the math table. In this column, you should identify
how technology is used in the activity or how you could adapt the activity to
include technology in novel and appropriate ways as it applies to math.
Science-Inquiry:
This is the last column in the science table. In this column, you should
identify how inquiry is used in the activity or how you could adapt the
activity to include inquiry in novel and appropriate ways as it applies to
science.
Length:
Approximately 4 pages, this
is estimating about 2 pages for math and two pages for science. The table is a
template to help you visualize the assignment, and you can choose to use the
table and fill in the boxes accordingly.
References:
Minimum 5 scholarly
references, including 2 NAEYC position statements and at least 3 peer-reviewed
journal articles. You
are encouraged to use professional resources if you like but they are supplemental
to the required scholarly references.
