SOC 312 (Child Family and Society)

 Week 1
Week 1 DQ 1 Bronfenbrenners
Ecological Model
Your text uses Bronfenbrenners
ecological model to explain how
childrens development is affected by
different groups within their world.
Using this theory, we can understand
how children are socialized both
intentionally and unintentionally. You
must understand how this theory
applies to your own upbringing as well
as a young childs upbringing in order to
truly comprehend the concept. Use
your understanding of this theory to
respond to the questions below.

Week 1 DQ 2 Agents of Socialization

Agents of socialization include parents,
siblings, extended family, community,
culture, economic environment, religion,
child care, school, teachers, peers,
formal organizations, sports, mass
media, and technology. In an ideal
world, these agents would complement
one another in order to best influence a
childs development. Choose three of
the above agents and discuss how these
agents can have both a positive and
negative influence on a childs
development. Include examples from
your own experience and share ways
you believe the agents of socialization
could be improved.

Week 2
 Week 2 DQ 1 The Theory of Mind
Watch the following short film, Theory of
Mind.mov, demonstrating the theory of
mind using a juice box experiment.

At around four years of age, a

fundamental change occurs in childrens
understanding of others behaviors or
what is also called theory of mind.
Using your knowledge from our
readings, watch the video to determine
which stage both Jacob and Patrick are
currently in respectively.

Discuss both Jacobs and Patricks

reaction to the mean monkey. What
stage would Erickson say each child is
in? How do these different stages
influence their values and attitudes? Do
you think it is possible for a child over
the age of three to have trouble
understanding that his or her beliefs can
be false? Explain your reasoning.

Week DQ 2 Self-Regulation
Regardless of a childs unique qualities,
one thing remains the same; to improve
learning and behavior, children must
develop strong self-regulation skills.
Read the following article from the
National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC), Developing
Young Childrens Self-Regulation
Through Everyday Experiences.

Week 3
 Week 3 DQ 1 Motivators
You are a preschool teacher. Describe a
situation in which you would use an
extrinsic reward to motivate a
preschooler. Discuss how these
motivators could result in learned
helplessness. Now give examples and
explain how you can lead the same child
to achieve intrinsic motivation by
becoming their own locus of control.
Keep in mind that your end goal is for
the child to be intrinsically motivated so
they have ownership of the behavior.
Week 3 DQ 2 Control

The role of the microsystem in shaping

childrens effortful control is important
and parents play a critical role. What
would you recommend to a parent who
asks you what he or she can do to
promote his or her preschool childs self-
regulation skills? Now turning to the
mesosystem, identify examples of
influences on the childs effortful
control you can share with the parent.
Provide examples of influences on
childrens effortful control that you have
observed in your own family and other
families who are close to you.

Differences

prejudice and stereotyping.
Discuss how educators can positively
influence a school-age child to not hold
biases or prejudices against others.
Give an example of how you can create
a community of learners who support
one another by fostering positive
attitudes. Give an example of how you
could teach your students the
importance of acceptance. Your post
must address the children in the
concrete operational stage.

middle childhood. Watch following

Week 5 DQ 1 Technology

Your text shares many negative effects

of technology and the medias influence
on children. Regardless, technology is
increasing rapidly and is only becoming
a larger portion of our childrens lives.
First, choose an age level (toddler, pre-
school, or elementary age). Then, list
three positive examples of how
technology has enhanced socialization
for children in that age group. Give two
additional examples of how
parents/educators can use technology
to further enhance a childs
socialization.

Week 5 DQ 2 Nonparental Care

care choices: nannies, center-based, or
 family-based care. Pretend you are

advantages of your childcare setting so
that the parent chooses your method to
