HW Journal- Human Development
The First Reading
Notes
Human development must be understood not only as a biological and psychological process but also as a cultural process.
Individuals develop as members of a community, and to understand them, it is essential to analyze the practices and circumstances within their communities that have influenced their behavior patterns.
Rogoff (2005) asserts that development in human beings happens due to their participation in community activities.
When comparing individuals, it is also important to consider similar situations within varied cultures.
Key Takeaway
Families should devise culturally appropriate ways to care for young children because they help them fit and adapt to changing circumstances.
Question
Is culture a more critical aspect of human development than biological, social, and psychological factors?
Second Reading
Notes
Brain development in children is mainly dependent upon a favorable environment of relationships.
Secure mother-child relationships largely depend upon the surrounding positive relationships.
Children born in families characterized by violence tend to be mentally detached due to a lack of trust in their caregivers.
Excessive stress disrupts the architecture of brain development.
Through positive relationships, children learn how to think, understand and communicate.
Takeaway
Playing with children forms a bond that strengthens relationships, hence encouraging children to explore, observe, experiment, and solve problems.
Question
How does bonding between parents and a child develop?
Podcast
Notes
Culturally sustaining pedagogy is an aspect that aims to promote equality across various ethnic communities by helping people to access opportunities.
The aspect of culturally sustaining pedagogy could be applied to critique and question dominant power structures today (Kirkland, 2020).
It empowers students to view others as equally important, building on peace and harmony.
Takeaway
When applied in education, culturally sustaining pedagogy aims to center communities by creating a room to accommodate differences, helping validate multiple perspectives in the classroom.
Question
What is a practical example of culturally sustaining pedagogy?
