Erik Erikson stages of psychosocial development Sam Martin
A short piece on Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. it looks at the various needs and where Erikson places them in importance in relation to an individual's development.
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENT AND THEIR SPECIAL NEEDSRitu Gahlawat
Adolescence is a period of transition between childhood and adulthood -a time of rapid physical, cognitive, social, and emotional maturation.
Puberty refers to the maturational, hormonal, and growth process that occurs when the reproductive organs begin to function and the secondary sex characteristics develop.
Separation anxiety is a vital step of emotional development and may continue up to 13 to 15 months of age.
This anxiety usually reduced when the strangers gradually approach from distance in a familiar place especially in presence of the mother or father.
In absence of parents, loving concern of the stranger is very important.
Temper tantrum is a sudden outburst or violent display of anger, frustration and bad temper as physical aggression or resistance such as rigid body, biting, kicking, throwing objects, hitting, crying, rolling on floor, screaming loudly, banging limbs, etc.
The activity is directed towards the environment not to any person or anything.
It is normal in toddler, may continues to preschool period and become more severe indicating the low frustration tolerance. It is found usually in boys, single child and pampered child.
If temper tantrum continues, the child needs professional help from child guidance clinic.
Parent should be made aware about the beginning of temper tantrum and when the child loses control.
Parent should provide alternate activity at that time.
Nobody should make fun and tease the child about the unacceptable behavior.
Parent should explain the child that the angry feeling is normal but controlling anger is an important aspect of growing up.
The child should be protected from self-injury or from doing injury to others.
Physical restraint usually increase frustration and block the outlet of anger.
Frustration can be reduced by calm and loving approach.
Overindulgence should be avoided.
After the temper tantrum is over the child's face and hands should be washed and play materials to be provided for diversion.
The child's tension can be released by vigorous exercise and physical activities. Parents must be firm and consistent in behavior.
Breath-holding spell may occur in children between 6 months and 5 years of age. It is observed in response to frustration or anger during disciplinary conflict. The child is found with violent crying, hyperventilation and sudden cessation of breathing on expiration, cyanosis and rigidity. Loss of consciousness, twitching and tonic-clonic movements may also be found. The child may become limp and look pallor and lifeless. Heart rates become slow. There may be spasm of laryngeal muscles. This attack last for one or two minutes, then glottis relaxed and breathing resumed with no residual effects.
Parents need assurance about the harmless effects of the attack and should be tolerant, calm and kind.
Identification and correction of precipitating factors (emotional, environmental) are essential approach.

Typical and Atypical development in Children. Typical development in children gives a generic picture of progress compared to same-age peers. Atypical development appears when a child either lags behind or jumps ahead of typical peer progress, in any regard -- physical, cognitive, social or in adaptive life skills.” (Anita Holms, 2000).

Learning
Learning can be defined in many ways, but most psychologists would agree that it is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience. During the first half of the twentieth century, the school of thought known as behaviorism rose to dominate psychology and sought to explain the learning process.
The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism was the school of thought in psychology that sought to measure only observable behaviors.
Founded by John B. Watson and outlined in his seminal 1913 paper Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It, the behaviorist standpoint held that psychology was an experimental and objective science and that internal mental processes should not be considered because they could not be directly observed and measured.
Watson's work included the famous Little Albert experiment in which he conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Behaviorism dominated psychology for much of the early twentieth century. While behavioral approaches remain important today, the latter part of the century was marked by the emergence of humanistic psychology, biological psychology, and cognitive psychology.Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response.
For example, in Pavlov's classic experiment, the smell of food was the naturally occurring stimulus that was paired with the previously neutral ringing of the bell. Once an association had been made between the two, the sound of the bell alone could lead to a response.
How Classical Conditioning Works
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the probability of a response occurring is increased or decreased due to reinforcement or punishment. First studied by Edward Thorndike and later by B.F. Skinner, the underlying idea behind operant conditioning is that the consequences of our actions shape voluntary behavior.
Skinner described how reinforcement could lead to increases in behaviors where punishment would result in decreases. He also found that the timing of when reinforcements were delivered influenced how quickly a behavior was learned and how strong the response would be. The timing and rate of reinforcement are known as schedules of reinforcement.
How Operant Conditioning Works
Observational Learning
Observational learning is a process in which learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that in addition to learning through conditioning, people also learn through observing and imitating the actions of others.As demonstrated in his classic "Bobo Doll" experiments, people will imitate the actions of others without direct reinforcement. Four important elements are essential for effective observational
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Objectives
• To explain the Erickson’s theory of Psychosocial
development
• To define the six basic concepts of psychosocial
theory: stages of development, developmental
tasks, psychosocial crisis, central process for
resolving crisis, radius of significant relationships,
and coping
• To evaluate the theory, pointing out its strength
and weakness
• To know some educational implications of the
theory
3. Assumptions of the Theory
• The theory assumes that human development
is a product of three interacting factors:
biological maturity, the interaction between
individuals and social groups, and the
contributions that individuals make to their
own psychological growth.
4. Predictions of the theory
• There are stages of development which emerge in an
ordered sequence. Issues of the later stage can be
previewed at an earlier time. It takes the entire lifespan for
all aspects of the person’s potential to be realized.
• Developmental tasks are dictated by the interaction of the
biological, psychological, and societal systems during each
stage.
• A normal crisis arises at each stage of development and a
central process arises and operates to resolve each case.
The resolutions of an individual to the crises determines his
coping resources, the positive resolution contributes ego
strength while the negative resolution contribute core
pathologies.
5. • Each person is a part of an expanding network of
significant relationships that conveys society’s
expectations and demands.
• Development will be optimal if a person can
create new behaviors and relationships as a result
of skill attained in solving crises. Lack of
development and core pathologies result from
tendencies that restrict behavior (especially social
behavior in general and new behavior in
particular).

7. Strengths and weaknesses of the Theory
Strengths Weaknesses
1. The theory provides a broad, integrative
framework within which to study the
lifespan.
2. The theory provides insight into the
direction of a healthy life span.
3. The concept of psychosocial crisis, including
its positive and negative pole, offers a
model for considering the individual
differences, within the framework of normal
development.
4. Longitudinal studies support the general
direction of development hypothesized by
the theory
1. Explanations of the mechanisms of crisis
resolution and process of moving from one
stage to the next needs more explanation.
2. The idea of a specific number of stages of
life and their link to a genetic plan of
development is disputed.
3. The theory has been dominated by a male,
Eurocentric perspective that gives too
much emphasis on individuality and not
enough attention to connection and social
relatedness.
4. The specific ways that culture encourages
or inhibits development are not clearly
elaborated.

so on. Failure to
achieve this
independence
may force the
child to doubt his
or her abilities

that conflict with those of
parents and other family
members, and these
conflicts make them feel
guilty. Successful resolution
of the crisis requires
balance. The child must
retain a sense of initiative
and yet learn not to impinge
the rights, privileges and

the key social agent.

At this stage, adults
face the tasks of

standards of
“generativity” are
defined by one’s
