Developing and Presenting a Professional Portfolio in Early Childhood Education
by Janese Daniels Nancy W. Wiltz Heather Skelley Hannah S. Cawley Ocie Watson-ThompsonThis book is a must-have handbook for all early childhood education major preparing their professional portfolio for scholarly review and job placement. In ten straightforward and user-friendly chapters, Wiltz et. al.'s supplemental textbook instructs the student on what items to collect for the portfolio, how to compile/construct/label it, and then how to talk about it/present it. <p><p> Readers will journey from learning the reasons behind developing a professional portfolio clear through completion of a final product. The authors present the topic to readers via a successful step-by-step process of developing, self-evaluating, and presenting a professional early childhood education portfolio. <p><p> Each chapter has a definitive goal and will guide the reader that much closer to the end goal-that of a portfolio ready to present in interviews and utilize in the working classroom. Although the premise of the text is based on the platform the authors have implemented to support their own student interns going through the portfolio process at Towson University, this manual has a widely universal appeal for all students in a wide-range of early childhood programs as they develop their professional portfolio from just the beginnings through the final presentation. <p><p> The text is appropriate for programs for which the portfolios are started in the Introduction to Early Childhood course and compiled as students make their way through the programs; or when the portfolio process is introduced in a Curriculum course, for instance; and for the Student Teaching, Practicum, or Capstone course.

Development Anthropology
by Riall NolanDevelopment Anthropology is a detailed examination of how anthropology is used in international development projects. Written from a practitioner's standpoint, and containing numerous examples and case studies, the book aims to provide students with a comprehensive overview of what development anthropologists do, how they do it, and what problems they encounter in their work. The first part of the book looks at the evolution of both applied anthropology and international development, and how these have been involved with each other since the 1950s. The second, and main, part of the book focuses on how development projects work, and how anthropology is used in their design, implementation, and evaluation. The final section of the book looks at how both development and anthropology must change in order to be more effective. An appendix outlines what students should do to plan a career in development anthropology.
Development Of Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials In High School Geometry For Students With Vision Loss
by Allan Rosal MesogaResearcher: Allan Rosal Mesoga Title of Thesis: Development of Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials in High School Geometry for Students with Vision Loss Degree: Master of Arts in Education Specialization: Special Education (Teaching Children with Visual Impairment) Institution: College of Graduate Studies Philippine Normal University Advisers: Julieta A. Gregorio, Ph.D. Rosemarievic Villena-Diaz, Ph.D. Key Concepts: High School Geometry, Competencies, Vision Loss, Tactile Materials The purpose of this study is to develop prototype tactile instructional materials in High School Geometry for students with vision loss. Specifically, this study aimed to Develop and Content Validate the Prototype Tactile Instructional Materials in High School Geometry for Students with Vision Loss. To accomplish this, the study sought to achieve six objectives: (1) Analyze the content of the geometry skills in the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) from kindergarten, from elementary up to secondary school, to determine their prerequisites, sequences, and levels of difficulty, (2) Analyze literature on mathematics tactile materials in advanced countries, (3) Identify the adaptations and modifications that can be incorporated into locally constructed materials for teaching geometry skills to blind students with vision loss in secondary school, (4) Develop prototypes of tactile instructional materials for selected geometry skills in the secondary school curriculum, (5) Establish the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional materials, and (6) Revise the prototype materials as needed and prepare the final tactile instructional materials for learners with visual loss in secondary school. The research for this study was carried out in two stages. The first stage focused on data gathering as well as on the preparation and validation of prototype tactile instructional material in geometry for students with vision loss. In the second stage, the prototype tactile instructional materials were revised, and the final copy of prototype tactile material was prepared. There are two (2) groups of respondents in this study. The first group consists of two (2) mathematics professors, one (1) special education professor, and one (1) special education teacher. Thus, the first group of respondents is made up of four (4) teachers, or experts. This group established the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional material in terms of the competencies set by the Department of Education. The second group of respondents is made up of nine (9) students with vision loss. This group established the content validity of the prototype tactile instructional material in Geometry as instructional materials for students with vision loss. The first group of respondents used the five (5) criteria for evaluating the prototype tactile instructional materials as adapted from the study of Cadiente (2006).
Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach
by Barbara Newman Philip NewmanHuman development is fascinating. This text uses a life-stage approach to present development across the life span, drawing on the psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson to provide a conceptual framework. The authors address physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth in 11 life stages, from the prenatal period through elderhood, focusing on the idea that development results from the interdependence of individuals and their environments at every stage, and placing special emphasis on how optimal development may be fostered throughout life. They also provide many cases that show you how research and theories can be applied to contemporary issues, the diversity of experiences that are possible at a certain period of life, and how people cope with challenges they face at various points in life.

Developmental Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies (Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies)
by Alan M. Slater Paul C. QuinnThis book revisits classic studies in developmental psychology with a view to showing not only how they shaped the field, but also how the field has itself moved on through engagement with the issues these studies raise. It engages critically with the studies in order to reveal new ways of thinking both about them and about the ideas they explore. In effect, it shows how developmental psychology can be - and has been - taken forward in exciting ways through a careful re-examination of the core studies that lie at its heart.<P><P> The volume's chapters are written by internationally renowned scholars who are working at the cutting edge of the areas mapped out by particular classic studies and whose work has been heavily influenced by a deep appreciation of the research that they write about. As a result, the chapters give readers profound insights into the foundations of developmental psychology, but also show how the discipline has advanced in important ways in the years since those studies were conducted.<P> Written in an accessible and engaging style, each chapter uses a similar structure to explore a particular classic study and the topic it relates to. All the chapters start by locating the studies within their social and historical context - identifying the concerns that motivated researchers, and the particular perspective that informed their scientific thinking. The studies' methods and findings are then presented. This is followed by a discussion of the studies' impact, before concluding with a consideration of the way in which, from the time that they were conducted, the field has moved beyond the classic studies. The result is a volume which is not only enjoyable and informative to read, but one that should support developmental psychology courses at any level.
