Domain development
Overview
You should identify a specific domain, or sub-domain, within which to provide
support for all students. As examples, you may focus on: peer interactions and friendship formation, communication, physio-motor development, perspective-taking, self-regulation, prosocial behavior, creativity/divergent thinking, etc. Conduct a review of scholarly literature/research on your chosen topic, including our course readings and content. Based on your review of the literature, you will submit a written paper (5-6 pages).
Your written paper should include the following components:
-Introduction and discussion of developmental domain (or sub-domain) Discuss relevance of the topic for learning and broad outcomes for children; identify critical issues or concerns with regard to supporting students with disabilities in this domain within inclusive settings.
-Review of developmental theories and current scholarly literature: You should
present critical viewpoints and a range of perspective/issues related to your topic. Discuss research on various approaches, programs, or strategies for supporting children. Also, discuss the ways in which children’s development in this domain is situated in sociocultural contexts, and how educators should be
culturally responsive when working with families to support children.
-Implications and critical thinking:
How does the literature extend your thinking further? What questions/concerns are raised? Discuss implications for inclusive education, etc.
Use at least 6 relevant scholarly sources (articles from academic journals or scholarly texts). Make connections and references to course readings and texts throughout. You may also use news articles, websites, etc.; however, at least 6 sources must be from scholarly sources
Do not use Wikipedia as one of your sources.
You must cite your sources within your paper using APA format, and include a reference page in APA format.
