ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 1 Important Questions in Children’s Thinking
Chapter One of your text identifies the six most important questions in the study of children’s thinking:
Are some capabilities innate?
Does development progress through stages?
How does change occur?
How do individuals differ?
How do changes in the brain contribute to cognitive development?

ECE 353 Week 1 DQ 2 Addressing Bias in Intelligence Testing
Daniel, an eight-year-old child from a poor, inner-city neighborhood, is given a traditional IQ test. One section of the IQ test involves defining various words. “Yacht” is one of the words that Daniel is asked to define. Briefly discuss why the test administrator should be cautious when interpreting Daniel’s performance on this test. How does the triarchic theory potentially counter this bias? Develop and share three questions, one for each component of the triarchic theory (analytic, creative, and practical), that would provide a more accurate representation of Daniel’s intelligence.

ECE 353 Week 1 The Piagetian Model
There is little argument that while not perfect, Piaget’s theories have had a profound impact on the field of cognitive development. Provide an analysis of his model as well as the challenges to it.
In a two- to three-page paper, please include the following components:
Define the four main stages of Piaget’s theory, along with their age ranges

ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 1 Cultural Tools
Cultural tools shape cognitive development and can include both technical tools, which act on the environment, and psychological tools, which are tools for thinking. Discuss Vygotsky’s belief that language is the most significant of the cultural tools. Do you agree or disagree?

ECE 353 Week 2 DQ 2 Educational Innovations
Many educational innovations, such as dynamic assessment and FCL (Fostering Communities of Learners) classrooms, have incorporated insights about learning and development from the sociocultural theories. Choose either dynamic assessment or FCL. Define your choice, and discuss how it incorporates insights about learning and development from the sociocultural theories. Develop one activity that effectively illustrates your chosen educational innovation in practice.

ECE 353 Week 3 DQ 1 Phonological Acquisition
Watch the talk by Patricia Kuhl, entitled The Linguistic Genius of Babies.
How do her findings support language acquisition in regard to phonology as it is described in Chapter Six of your text?
Include a discussion of the need for a social context when developing phonological awareness and why. How did your own social context impact your phonological awareness?

ECE 353 Week 3 DQ 2 Memory Facilitation
Older children typically remember more than younger children. Identify and describe two strategies that older children use to facilitate their memories. Reflecting on your own personal experiences, what strategies do you employ to improve your memory? Discuss the relevance of strategies that facilitate memory within the context of classroom instruction. Share one instructional strategy that you feel is highly effective for most students.

ECE 353 Week 4 DQ 1 Theories of Concept Representation
Identify and describe one of the three major theories of concept representation: defining-features, probabilistic, or theory-based. What is the mechanism of conceptual development in your chosen theory? Provide an example (not given in the text) that illustrates the mechanisms of your chosen theory. How would a child likely respond to a given scenario from the perspective of your chosen theory?

ECE 353 Week 4 DQ 2 False Belief Tasks
According to your text, “the ‘gold standard’ that researchers use to demonstrate understanding of belief is success on tasks that require understanding of one’s own or another person’s false belief” (Siegler, 2005, pg. 318). Young children often fail false belief tasks. This finding has been interpreted in a number of different ways. Give an original example of a false belief task that could be given to a three-year-old (do not use an example from the text).

ECE 353 Week 5 DQ 1 Planning in Problem Solving
Young children often fail to plan, even when doing so would facilitate their problem-solving performance. Select and describe one of the five reasons that children may fail to plan given on pages 357-358 of your text. Construct a classroom-based scenario that illustrates your chosen reason. What is the implication of your reason when considering the differing needs of students while planning for classroom instruction? What is one strategy that teachers can use to mediate the effects of these failures and support the problem-solving skills of their young students?

ECE 353 Week 5 DQ 2 Learning in Context
Context influences children’s performance in mathematics. This was illustrated in Carraher and colleagues’ (1985) classic study of Brazilian street vendors. Describe the method and results of Carraher and colleagues’ study, and discuss how the results support the claim that children’s mathematical problem-solving performance depends on context.

ECE 353 Week 5 Final Paper
Chapter Twelve of your text identifies seven areas of cognitive development that have been addressed in this book: perception, language, memory, conceptual understanding, social cognition, problem solving, and academic skills. Table 12.1 of the chapter also identifies the eight themes of children’s thinking, in general, that have filtered throughout the course of this text.
