Total = 4 marks 2 1 1 Downloaded by Chandrey De Villiers () lOMoARcPSD| 2 Question 2 [18 marks] Which theorist and theory aligns with the following statement? Justify your response by elaborating on why you think the statement is important for us to understand child development. Cite references for your work. 2.1 Schemas help explain how children learn through experience by allowing them to assimilate new information into existing schemas and accommodate new information by modifying schemas. 2.2 Learning occurs through interactions with more knowledgeable others, such as parents, teachers, and peers, and language and culture are essential tools for cognitive development. 2.3 Children learn by observing the behaviour of others and the consequences of those behaviours. 2.4 Children develop a sense of initiative and confidence in their ability to take on new tasks and challenges. 2.5 The child does not develop according to fixed ages, but rather according to readiness to perform a certain task. 2.6 Human development is influenced by the link between satisfying basic needs and development or growth needs. Statement Case Study: Baby Naledi Naledi is a 2½-year-old toddler living in a peri-urban township in Limpopo. Her mother is a domestic worker, and her father works in construction. Naledi spends most of her day with her aunt, who speaks Sepedi and often sings songs and reads picture books to her. Naledi enjoys stacking blocks, naming animals in her books, and playing with her cousins. She can walk, run, and climb stairs with support. She uses short sentences like “want juice” and “go park.” Naledi throws tantrums when she’s frustrated and struggles to share toys. Her aunt often helps her calm down by naming her feelings and offering hugs. Compare Piaget and Vygotsky's theories using Naledi’s case study. (6 marks) How does prenatal development link to Piaget's theory? (2 marks) How does scaffolding support early learning, according to Naledi’s study? (2 marks) Provide a Justification Referencing Write the statement in full and make a table to present your answer. Mention the theorist who aligns with the statement. Award ½ mark for mentioning the correct theorist Mention the theory that aligns with the statement Award 1 mark for mentioning the correct theory in full Justify why the statement is important for advancing our understanding of child development. You could explain the rationale behind the theory and why the statement is true, considering the assumptions that underpin it. You could also refer to the section that confirms the Bandura believed that learning occurs only through direct experience. Nature refers to the cultural environment in which a child grows up. Gardner’s theory supports the idea that intelligence is culturally relevant and not limited to academic ability. Award 1 mark for the justification Award 1/2 mark for consistent referencing for each section Gardner’s theory suggests that intelligence is fixed and cannot be developed. Bandura’s theory includes both intrinsic and extrinsic reinforcement as part of learning. 2 According to Erikson, unresolved crises in early stages can affect development in later stages. Gardner’s “body-smart” intelligence refers to the ability to understand and interact with others. Erikson’s stage of autonomy vs. shame and doubt occurs during adolescence. Bandura’s theory does not consider the influence of media on learning. Question 3 [12 marks] 3.1 Numerous risk factors can affect the holistic development of orphans and vulnerable children in our communities. Identify the 6 (six) risk factors and explain how you, as a student of child and adolescent development, can support and mitigate the risk for orphans and vulnerable children to promote holistic development. Downloaded by Chandrey De Villiers () lOMoARcPSD| 3 Orphans and vulnerable children 6 Risk factors affecting children in various domains of development 6 Ways to mitigate risks and support children in various domains of development Reflect on the development needs of orphans and vulnerable children and identify the risk factors affecting them from a holistic perspective. Award 1 mark for each risk factor affecting children and demonstrating how it affects the holistic development of children. Explain what needs to be done to mitigate against the risk factor and support holistic development. Award 1 mark for each support strategy or mitigating factor that can enhance the holistic development of children. Self-efficacy can be strengthened through encouragement from others. Gardner’s “people-smart” intelligence refers to interpersonal skills. Bandura’s theory does not consider the role of cognition in learning. Vygotsky believed that development starts inside the child and moves outward to the environment. 6 RUBRIC FOR MARK ALLOCATION ONE FACT = ONE MARK CRITERIA MARK ALLOCATION TOTAL MARK Explaining the four concepts in own words (0 marks for cutting and pasting or wordfor- word copying from the study guide and/or any other source) 3 marks for each concept’s explanation 12 Study guide reference (section number and page number) 1 mark for section number and page number (give both for 1 mark) 04 TOTAL 16 QUESTION 2 20 MARKS Downloaded by Chandrey De Villiers () lOMoARcPSD| 2.1 Compare the information in column A with the information in column B.

Bathabile’s mother was so happy when she fell pregnant. She dreamed about a little girl and often sat with her hands on her tummy, singing lullabies for her baby. When the baby was born she proudly named her Bathabile because she believed that she would become an intelligent and wise woman. When she started to walk she followed her mother and grandmother everywhere and watched everything they do. Although she learned easily, she was an out-spoken and strong-willed child and even as a toddler she would often challenge her parents and friends. Her body matured early and when she was 12 it was time to go for initiation with the other girls. Bathabile refused to go. Her mother, grandmother and the elders were shocked. Bathabile knew that she would be expected to marry and have children when she came back. She thought that it was unfair that the men could go out into the world and study and work whilst women must stay at home, doing chores and raising children. When other girls would learn the crafts of the community she would do her homework and study. She already was the top performer in grade 11. The other girls thought that she was weird because she was not interested in the boys of their age. Cebosi wanted to go to university. She would like to empower women all over Africa to make their own decisions have their own voice. Although Bathabile mother was disturbed by the fact that Bathabile was so rebellious and did not want to adhere to their customs, she was secretly proud that her daughter turned out to be so strong.3.1Describe five developmental milestones for Infants (0–12 months) Show in your response, describe specific expected tasks that toddlers accomplish at this Award one mark for each correct answer. 5 marks 4.1Describe three ways in which peer groups affect adolescent development.
