Discussion 1: How Processes Affect Your Development

Consider the role each process—cognitive, physical, and social-emotional—plays on the development of an individual. The cognitive developmental process involves the ability to think, remember, reason, problem-solve, and communicate. The physical developmental process entails not only changes in height and weight, but also fine and gross muscle control, balance, strength, reproductive ability, and appearance. Finally, the social-emotionaldevelopmental process involves beliefs about oneself in relation to others, including self-identity, self-concept, morality, and relationships.

Cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes influence and interact with one another. For example, a child’s ability to consider another person’s perspective will, in part, determine the quality of friendships and how long they are maintained. An adult who is physically mature has the cognitive capacity to weigh the pros and cons of becoming sexually active. Keep in mind that the relative importance of cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes may vary depending upon the age of the individual (e.g., infant, adolescent, young adult, older adult) and any physical or developmental challenges that may arise.

For this Discussion, you will examine cognitive, physical, and social-emotional processes at a specific period of a character’s life.

 

To prepare for this Discussion:

·         Select a fictional human character (i.e., cartoon character, film/TV character, virtual character) and consider an important event or period of time in the life of the character and the developmental processes during this event/period of time.

·

·         Select two of the three developmental processes (i.e., cognitive, physical, and social-emotional) to describe.

·

By Day 3

Post a brief description of the fictional human character (i.e., cartoon character, film/TV character, virtual character) and the event/period of time you selected. Describe two of the three developmental processes—cognitive, physical, and social-emotional—and explain whether they were affected and/or changed in relation to the event/period of time. Be specific in your post and provide examples. Use your Learning Resources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations to support your explanation.

Please submit your completed Customized Psychology Degree Plan (Excel spreadsheet), indicating the elective courses you chose to complete your degree.

Customized Degree Plan

In the Unit 7 Assignment, you will use the information provided about the program and classes, combined with your intended career and academic goals. You will have an opportunity to select the elective classes for your Customized Psychology Degree Plan. This will give you a preliminary academic map and goals to work with throughout your study at Kaplan University.

In this Assignment, you will choose the elective classes or clusters of electives that will personalize and customize your psychology degree plan. You may choose one of the sample elective class clusters or create your own. In addition there may be other individual electives you want to take.

To help with your choices, review the Customized Psychology Degree Plan spreadsheets as well as the Unit 7 Readings on electives. The first step is to narrow your selection to a few of the sample elective class clusters, or create your own cluster by combining or deleting classes from the samples.

Then, go to the Kaplan University course catalog and read the descriptions for all the courses in the cluster you have chosen or developed. These descriptions should help you to further understand the skills and knowledge that will be featured in the courses available. If you do not have a course catalog, you can access the full catalog from your student webpage by following these directions:

  1. Go to the Kaplan student webpage.
  2. Select Documents & Forms on the right information bar.
  3. Under Academic Calendars and Catalog’s click on University Catalog.
  4. Under Find a Program choose your program.

This Assignment has two parts: Part I is the actual Customized Degree Plan Excel spreadsheet in which you have selected your electives. Part II asks you to explain the reasoning behind your choices.

Part I: Please submit your completed Customized Psychology Degree Plan (Excel spreadsheet), indicating the elective courses you chose to complete your degree. You complete this by entering your choices in the open electives cells highlighted in green on the BSP tab. Also, in some of the yellow cells for General Education classes, you need to make a choice between two or more provided options. Be sure to enter your name in the allotted cell (very top of the document), save your document, and submit per the instructions below.

Part II: To complete this portion of the Assignment, answer each of the questions about your Customized Degree Plan using the provided template and answer the following questions:

  1. What Degree Plan have you chosen and why?
  2. What elective classes have you selected?
  3. Why did you choose this class?
  4. What skills and knowledge you will get from the class?
  5. How this class will help you in the future as a professional?

Answer each question in paragraph form. Your responses should be double-spaced, using 12 pt. Arial font and Standard American English. Since you have not completed College Composition I yet, it is not required that you use APA format in writing your paper. Your answers will be based on your thoughts and, therefore, will not require outside citations. However, if you do cite outside references, you will have to provide the source information. In addition, assignments should demonstrate careful proofreading.

Keep in mind that college students are expected to have strong writing skills, and you should put forth your best writing effort for this Assignment. You may not be at a point where you have strong writing skills, but you will have every opportunity to develop them as you continue through your program of study.
