Submission:
Students are required to write a reflective essay on their lived experience, with the
application of human development theories to their family and cultural context.
Reflect on your own family and cultural context while you were a child of 4-12 years in
relation to your understanding of the following theories:
- Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory
- Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages 3. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theories
Consider your development and relationships in reflecting on the changes you experienced
biologically, psychologically, and socially. Diagrams and tables may be included.
This should not be a detailed discussion of the theories, it is instead an explanation of your social relationships using the framework of the theories.
Integration of material from the textbooks and readings on Moodle is essential.
Your written essay should include at least 7 current (less than 10 years old) scholarly journal articles, as well as textbook references. Adherence to the course formatting guidelines is essential (e.g., spacing, font, coversheet, word count); these are listed in the Assessment section on your unit site. APA 7 referencing both in-text and in the Reference List is required.
