Discusses how school-age children's thought processes become more sophisticated, more logical, and based in reality. Also discusses the cognitive stage that Jean Piaget called capable of moral reasoning. The program explores Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning and considers the criticisms of this theory. It discusses schoolchildren's use of code-switching and considers the implications of total immersion, bilingual education, ESL programs, and other ways of learning more than one languageNote "The following is a college course based on the textbook: "The Developing Person", written by Kathleen Stassen Berger and published by Worth Publishers" -- opening captions

Building Academic Background Knowledge (DVD)
(ASCD DVD, 2005) Three 30-minute programs on one DVD and a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide.
Here's a DVD that helps teachers and other audiences understand what to do about students who are ill-prepared for classroom learning. Based on the best-selling ASCD book, Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement: Research on What Works in Schools, this series of three programs on DVD, introduces your school to research-based strategies for overcoming the deficiencies that hamper the achievement of so many students.
Research expert Robert J. Marzano explains the importance of building background knowledge for all learners, especially for low-achieving students who tend not to have been exposed to the kinds of experiences necessary for academic success.

The Developing Person
JMU Media Resources Videotape no.9229
Publisher Fountain Valley, Calif. : Coastline Community College, c2003
1 VHS ( 28 min.)
This lesson introduces students to the scientific study of human development. From John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau through Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson, scholars have considered the impact that nature and nurture have on human development. The video lesson discusses the contexts and influences in which humans develop, focusing on Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological model of development. The lesson explores some of the major theories from the study of psychology such as psychoanalytic theory, learning theory, behaviorism, and cognitive theory. The final segment introduces the life-span perspective, which considers that development occurs throughout the life span and not just in childhood. Several theories have emerged from this perspective, including the notion of gains and losses occurring throughout a person's lifetime and the changing nature of social interaction as explained by socioemotional selectivity theory.

1 videocassette (38 min.) :+ 1 guide (10 p.)
Using archival materials and newly shot footage, this film introduces students to the rich wisdom of Erik H. Erikson. Best known for his identification of eight stages of the life cycle, Erikson spent a lifetime observing and studying the way in which the interplay of genetics, cultural influences and unique experiences produces individual human lives. This video combines biographical information about Erikson with his theoretical proposals to give students an understanding of the relationship between the life experience of a theorist and the work that is produced

Series Cognitive development
"Presents recent work by developmental psychologists that emphasizes the influence of contextual factors in learning and performance. Three sets of experiments involving children are examined: tasks in which deliberately gender-biased instructions are provided; tasks requiring cooperation between asymmetrical pairs of peers; and tasks involving training of students by adults and by peers. The intriguing results of these tests shed light on the impact of stereotyping on performance; the effects of self-perception on competence; and the influence of different teaching approaches on learning. Implications for adults are considered as well"--Container

Giants of psychology presents Lev Vygotsky's early childhood learning theories and demonstrates them in classrooms. Focuses on the centrality of social context to development in Vygotsky's thought and argues that it is misleading to evaluate children only on what they accomplish independently. Illustrates four basic concepts from Vygotsky's work: children construct knowledge, learning can lead to development, development cannot be separated from its social context, and language plays a central role in mental development.
