Development Of Matthew James Slusher

After graduating from North Carolina State University with my Bachelor’s in Environmental Technology and Management and a minor in Environmental Toxicology, I knew that I would want to spend the rest of my career being dedicated to the environmental field. With my grandfather and father working in the petroleum industry, the precedents set before myself, I knew I’d like to continue in the industry by combining my family’s history of working the petroleum pipeline industry, with my dedication to the environmental field. The events such as the Exxon Valdez spill and the Deepwater Horizon spill have driven me to want to learn more about the effects left on the environment in which it happened in and new

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

Throughout this course of study in Child Development 04, Observation & Assessment, I choose to be observed a child enrolled in a State Infant/Toddler Program School called Galen Clark Preschool, and the child will be presented as D. D is a 4 years old boy. The main idea of this portfolio is to observe and assess child D’s development and growth by using the measure of the DRDP. The DRDP (2015) focuses on the child’s behavior, knowledge, and skills. To capture a child’s behavior, the DRDP incorporates observation in natural settings. That’s the reason why I did my observation on D in a classroom’s setting for 3 hours a day and once a week with a total of 12 observations or 12 weeks. In addition, I collected five anecdotes each time I went

You’ve heard that on December 25th a miracle did occur. It just so happens, that on July

1857 is when it all started the Lidke Mill was began to be built. And every day after school A little school girl would always pass with some friends. But one day on a chilly Fall day the little school girl passed very slowly alone. And as she walked by and stared she became closer and closer to the workmen and as the workmen noticed her coming closer they told her to "run along before she got hurt" but she wouldn’t listen she just came closer and closer and kept staring and staring. They told her again "come on kid run along" than she stopped at the old well and looked at one of the workmen and said ''but first’’ than she fell into the old well. And as the workmen ran to the well concerned about the little school girl they saw her body face

There have always been people saying that violent movies and video games harm children and make them more susceptible to display violent behavior. According to Albert Bandura’s Study called the “Bobo Doll Experiment” this is true. Through this experiment and a few other’s Bandura came up with the Social Learning Theory. The Social Learning Theory is the theory that Bandura used to describe a way of learning through observation or direct instructions.

According to (Schultz, 2009) basically, learning can occur through observation as a basis of learning that can influence the behaviour of other people based on Bandura’s basic idea is called observational learning that important in learning process on new responses by imitate the behaviours other people of direct reinforcement as a way to influence behaviour that can be learned or changed. (Schultz, 2009) further explains that social learning theory is determined through modelling which is a behaviour modification technique that involves observing the behaviour of others and participating in performing the desired behaviour. For instance, learning skill also influence behaviour based on two important aspects of the self-reinforcement and self-efficacy that determined of human personality. According to (Cherry, 2015) argued that "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do," Bandura explained (Bandura,

It was a warm summer evening in California. The Sanders’ were enjoying one of their last meals together as a family before school started back up again. As the Sanders’ chowed down on flavorful pot roast, Todd shared very exciting news for the family. “Since we recently purchased a new private jet, and summer is almost over, your mother and I have decided to take a family trip to Australia!” exclaimed Todd. The Sander’s were a rich family who lived in a rich neighborhood, and in a big house. They were a big family, six kids in total, and two parents.

He is also beginning to realize and take into consideration the actions and words of others. He is in Erikson’s initiative versus guilt stage of development (Bukatko, 2012 p.27). When Landon is trying to complete a task he is stuck on that task until he either gets it done or is willing to ask for help which is a big part of these stage. He is also setting more goals for himself by wanting to do things like bating the baseball or being able to jump or run the furthest. Landon is on the edge of changing into the industry versus inferiority of Erikson’s stage where he will transition into acquiring the skills to perform school work and become educated. He is in kindergarten right now where he is beginning to acquire the beginning skills needed for him to succeed in the classroom (Bukatko, 2012

The child that I will be observing is my friends four-year-old son, Jeremiah. I’ve known Jeremiah since he was born on August 7, 2012. He is an energetic kid that loves cheese and candy. He lives with his mother and older sister. He started head star at three years old and is now in Pre -K. The observation was made at my house. I invited my fried and her children over for dinner.

Banduras social learning theory speaks to what we learn from others via observation, imitation, or modeling. His theory encompasses our thought process and influences. Some being news media, athletes, and models.

The social learning theory was developed by psychologist, Albert Bandura in 1977. According to Bandura (2006) “the massive threats to human welfare are generally brought on by deliberate acts of principle rather than by unrestrained acts of impulse” (Bandura, 2006). Unlike theories by behaviorist such as Miller and Dollard (1941) and Skinner (1938), Bandura’s (1977) theory emphasized that behavior was influenced by environmental factors as well as psychological and cognitive factors (Wanberg, Timken, and Milkman, 2010). Research by Amir Abbassi and Dan Aslinia (2010) stated that “social learning theory is based on several assumptions which include vicariously learning aggression through observing” (Abbassi and Aslinia, 2010). The theory states that behavior is learned through the observation of others as through the direct experience of rewards and punishments (Fein, Kassin, and Markus, 2011). The general principle of the social learning theory declares that individuals can learn by observing the behavior of others and the outcomes of those behaviors (Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, 2012). Similarly, concluding from Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiment (1961), Paul Levitt wrote individuals learn by observing others then replicating or modeling their behavior; “In short we imitate or become them by observational or vicarious learning; the

Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory is a theory that includes development theories in order to understand how children learn. Bandura’s theory is based on how people can learn by observing others, how internal mental states influence people, and how learning something does not change one’s behavior every time. Bandura was able to find out that people learn by three observational models. The first model is the live model which includes observing how someone demonstrates the behavior, the verbal instruction model which learning occurs through auditory directions, and the symbolic model where modeling occurs through media sources such as internet, movies, and books.

A. Basic Concepts 1. Observational LearningThe Social Learning Theory says that people canlearn by watching other people perform the behavior. Observational learningexplains the nature of children to learn behaviors by watching the behaviorof the people around them, and eventually, imitating them. With the ―Bobo Doll‖ experiment(s) , Bandura included an adult who is tasked to actaggressively toward a Bobo Doll while the children observe him. Later,Bandura let the children play inside a room with the Bobo Doll.

This theory assumes that humans learn behavior through observational learning - in other words, people can learn by watching models and imitating their behavior.
