●● what is developmentally appropriate practice?
Answer: includes age appropriate, individual appropriate and culturally
appropriate materials, activities and physical environments that promote
the development of skills in all areas ( physical, social, emotional,
cognitive)
●● knowledge that needs to be considered in ordered in order to apply
DAP
Answer: - age/developmental appropriateness
- intentionally
- individual appropriateness: strengths, interests, and needs of each child
- cultural appropriateness: cultural contacts in which children learn
●● developmentally appropriate practice
Answer: - supports all areas of the child's development
- observations are used for planning based on interests and needs
- materials and activities are concrete part of the lives of children
,-provide a wide range of developmental interests that meet the children's
individual needs and skills
- offer increased challenges as children's abilities progress
- provide materials and allow time so children can choose activities
●● all domains of development and learning are important, and they are
closely interrelated
Answer: - children's physical, social, emotional and cognitive
development are related, they are influences by what happens in other
domains
- example, lara who has just began to crawl, is exploring the
environment ( physical); finds things of interests to her ( emotional) and
explores the objects with all her senses ( cognitive)
●● many aspects of children's learning and development follow well
documented sequences, with later abilities, skills and knowledge
building on those already acquired
Answer: - the sequence of how children grow and develops is
predictable
- all typically developing children will follow the sequence
●● development and learning proceed at varing rates from child to child,
as well as the uneven rates across different areas of a child's individual
functioning.
,Answer: - not all children develop at the same rate in all developmental
areas
- follows individual patterns and timing
- influenced by interest, strengths, and needs
●● development and learning result from a dynamic and continuous
interaction of biological maturation and experience
Answer: - many factors will have an influence on how children will
develop and grow
- environmental factors ( level of experiences)
- biological factors ( predispositions, temperament)
●● early experiences have profound effects, on a child's development
and learning; and optimal periods exist for certain types of development
and learning to occur
Answer: - development is predictable, however children experiences will
determine the path in which development will be influenced
- cumulative prior skill allows child to use those skill to make towards
the next level
- delayed: prior experiences could hinder the child from moving forward
- optimal periods: period in which a skill can easily be developed, once
this period is over the development becomes more challenging.
, ●● development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation and
symbolic or representational capacities
Answer: - as children's develop they are also maturing, their cognitive
abilities are developing as well
- they will need less adult intervention to help them self-regulate
- they will gain skills in expressing themselves more clearly
●● children develop best when they have secure, consistent relationships
with responsive adults and opportunities for positive relationships with
peers
Answer: positive, nurturing, and responsive teacher/ adult-child
interactions are essential in development and learning
●● development and learning occur in and are influenced by multiple
social and cultural contexts
Answer: it is important to get familiar with the child's social-cultural
environment it has a strong influence on the child's development.
●● children are always active in seeking to understand the world around
them, children learn in a variety of ways; a wind range of teaching
strategies and interactions are effective in supporting all these kinds of
learning
Answer: children have different ways of learning therefore different
teaching strategies and teaching methods are also needed
