Reimagining Developmental Contexts

Final Report Worksheet How would this new and improved context better support development? Based on your brainstorming of problems and solutions, and other students’ ideas and feedback from Discussion Forum, answer the following questions to complete your brief report. Use this as a worksheet.

Your 6-to-8-page final report should include each of the section headers that appear in bold below, be double spaced and in a 12-point font. Be sure to cite sources and include a reference page (reference page does not factor into the page count). A title page and running headers are not required. Upload your final report to the assignments folder. Indent each new paragraph.

Section 1. Overview

Focus

Paste the Part 1 assignment that you turned in during week 2. Make sure that all feedback given is implemented.

Population

Why did you choose this specific target population? Why is this stage in life important to consider? This should be about 5 sentences.

Developmental context.

In 5-8 sentences, explain why the context you are focusing on in this project is important to this population and their development.

Developmental Task

What developmental task would your population be working on (think Erikson)? How would your current topic/ aspect shape how this developmental process looks? (There should be around 5 sentences)

Your role

How do you think that someone with the role you picked can be influential in what you have talked about in this introduction? This should be 5-8 sentences.

Section 2. Understanding the Problems with this context

First Problem: Blank.

(1) Detail how this problem shows up for your developing people in this context as it currently exists. (2) Briefly mention why they are problematic for healthy development.

Second Problem: Blank.

(1) Detail how this problem shows up for your developing people in this context as it currently exists. (2) Briefly mention why they are problematic for healthy development.

Third Problem: Blank.

(1) Detail how this problem shows up for your developing people in this context as it currently exists. (2) Briefly mention why they are problematic for healthy development.

Section 3. Applying a Developmental Perspective: Concepts and Meta-theory

(Describe at least 3 concepts from class that you think you can deepen your understanding of the problems and help you generate solutions. A list of concepts is in the full assignment instructions)

Class concept #1: Blank.

(1) How can the concept help make sense of problems? (2) How will you use the concept to help you generate solutions to the problems you have identified?

Class concept #2: Blank.

(1) How can the concept help make sense of problems? (2) How will you use the concept to help you generate solutions to the problems you have identified?

Class concept #3: Blank.

(1) How can the concept help make sense of problems? (2) How will you use the concept to help you generate solutions to the problems you have identified?

Meta-theory and assumptions

(1) Which meta-theory (mechanistic, maturational, organismic, or contextual) do you think applies most to your project. (2) Why? (3) How can you apply it in looking for solutions to these problems? (4) Which of this meta-theory’s assumptions (nature-nurture, passive-active, universal-context specific, etc.) do you find most useful in helping you improve your context?

Section 4. Reimagining a Better World: Community Inspiration

(1) Identify one program/organization/community of practice that is trying to improve this context. (2) Which of their ideas would you like to adopt? (3) List these ideas and briefly explain why you would incorporate them.

Section 5. Solutions

Change #1:

(1) Briefly describe each change (who? how? where? when?). (2) Explain why these changes are good for development. (3) Justify your proposals with arguments and evidence (think class concepts or existing programs that are successful!). (4) Think about the decision-makers and gatekeepers - Who are they and how would you involve them in the process of change?

Change #2:

(1) Briefly describe each change (who? how? where? when?). (2) Explain why these changes are good for development. (3) Justify your proposals with arguments and evidence (think class concepts or existing programs that are successful!). (4) Think about the decision-makers and gatekeepers - Who are they and how would you involve them in the process of change?
