Im studying for my Subject Major class and need an explanation.
Learning Environments and Developmental Domains
[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLO: 2, 4]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 3 and 6 in your textbook and watch the video Touring an Early Care Classroom.
As you have learned this week, there are many different aspects to development that you need to know when working with children from birth to age 8. You must ensure that your classrooms help to stimulate the physical, cognitive, and affective development for all students. For this assignment, you will bring together your knowledge of theories, developmental domains, and learning environments to design a learning environment. The steps for the assignment are:
Step 1: Create your learning environment
Choose an age group (birth to age 2, ages 2 to 5, or ages 6 to 8) for which you will design a learning environment.
Go to the Classroom Architect web page or to the Gliffy Floor Plan Creator web page. You will use one of these tools to design the layout for the learning environment. When designing your layout, consider how the design you have created will support the developmental needs of your students based on the age group you chose.
After creating your learning environment, take a screenshot of your design. Then, copy and paste your screenshot into a Word document. If you need help taking a screenshot, visit Take-a-Screenshot.org.
Step 2: Written support for your learning environment design
Access the APA template in the online classroom for assistance with the writing process, formatting, documentation, and citations in your written work. Your paper must include the following:
Introduction (one paragraph)
Describe the learning environment that you have designed including the setting of your learning environment (e.g., school, home daycare, center, etc.) along with the age of children with whom you will be working.
Physical Domain
Explain how your learning environment design supports the physical development of the children with whom you are working.
Include at least two specific examples from your design.
Cognitive Domain
Explain how your learning environment design supports the cognitive development of the children with whom you are working.
Include at least two specific examples from your design.
Affective Domain
Explain how your learning environment design supports the affective development of the children with whom you are working.
Include at least two specific examples from your design.
Developmental Theories
Discuss which of the developmental theories discussed this week are represented in the learning environment you created.
Include at least two specific examples from your design.
Conclusion (one paragraph)
Summarize the main points of your learning environment design and how it will support the developmental needs of your students.
Step 3: Assignment Submission
Submit your assignment as a two- to three-page Word document, not including the title and references page.
Your document should include a screenshot of your classroom along with the written support for your classroom design (answering all questions from Step 2 above).
You will need to include your textbook as a resource.
Cite your source in the paper as well as including it on a reference page.
APA Formatting: Papers are formatted properly, and all sources (if used) are cited (see In-Text Citation Helper: A Guide to Making APA In-Text Citations) and referenced (see APA References List) in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Centers APA Essay Checklist for Students.
