Exam Question:
The essay
option: worth 100% of your examination mark and 35%
of your
final mark. Create a hypothetical person and provide a developmental snapshot of
their life over 4 distinct developmental periods (ie: pre-natal,. Concrete
operations, mid-life, death). Be sure to name each stage being discussed and
some characteristics of the stages you will be discussing. Be sure to provide
ideas on how one stage might influence the following stage(s). Be sure to
provide some theoretical orientation to each stage as well as some critique
and/or comparison between two or more theorists (eg: Piaget vs. Vygotsky and
Bronfenbrenner; Gilligan vs. Kholberg). Be sure to include some discussion of
gender construction and sexuality. Be sure to draw upon and integrate
information from both text and lecture material. Be sure to define key terms
that you use. Remember concepts such as bi-directionality. Remember also that
many concepts are not stage dependent (eg: zone of proximal development;
boundaries; accommodation and assimilation etc). Present your answer in the
writing booklet provided. Write (or print) legibly. Evaluation will be based in
part on your ability to: draw upon and integrate both reading and lecture
material; demonstrate your understanding of, and ability to, disseminate that
material from across the life-span. Writing style (grammar, sentence structure,
clarity, punctuation, presentation, and referencing) will also be considered as
part of the final evaluation. Feel free to get together in groups to discuss and
work on this essay. You can memorize the essay if you wish and then reproduce it
at the exam (if you work in a group do not all memorize the same essay). No
cheat sheets. The examination question will appear on the examination paper
exactly as it is presented here.
