Army Leaders Development Model
Throughout history, leadership has always been one of the cornerstones contributing to the success
of the United States military. Whether in a Garrison or a combat environment, the applicability and
level of effectiveness of leadership can be rooted to the resources made available to leaders. To form
a clear comparison of garrison and combat leadership; mission and responsibilities must be taken in
consideration. A common leadership responsibility, in both garrison and combat environments, is
improving the efficiency and development of Soldiers. Utilizing the Army's Leaders Development
Model, the three domains of institutional, operational, and self–development can be used to gauge
the comparison.
The institutional domain is comprised of centers and schools that provide the initial and subsequent
functional training for Soldiers. These institutions develop Soldiers for progression into higher
levels of responsibility and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The operational domains encompass the hands–on experiences, technical competencies, and lessons
learned. The domain has positive application for both the leader and Soldier development. Combat
contributes to the development of a leader's operational experience. Leaders develop coping systems
and familiarization for the high tempo of the environment. While in combat, leaders have to become
more resourceful and adaptable to the complexed nature and constant changes of their environment.
In contrast, garrison leaders utilize the operational domain to train and prepare their organization for
future missions. The training used simulates the stressful conditions presented in the combat
environment. Previous combat experiences are incorporated into the training to assist in
development. The comparison between the two can vary dependent on the of the effectiveness of the

Comparing Erikson Stages And The Racial/Cultural Identity...
I will compare and contrast the Erikson stages and the racial/cultural identity development model.
Although the two are different they still intersect with each other. The two models have stages.
However, each stage is based on something different in both models. Each stage is followed by
another stage. In addition, each stage builds upon each other.
The Erikson stages mainly focuses on development. The stages on based on age groups in the
Erikson stages. The Erikson stage starts from birth to sixty–five years old. The first stage is Trust vs.
Mistrust and the last stage is Ego Integrity vs. Despair. In the Erikson stage, the goal is for an
individual to feel a sense of fulfillment in life. "If they feel that they haven't done much during their
life, it's likely that they will experience a sense of despair" (Erik Erikson's Theory). They want to
feel that their life was productive and that they accomplish many things in life. Being able to share
accomplishment with their grandchildren and great grandchild is valuable to them. ... Show more

Software Development Lifecycle Models And The Waterfall Model
In a paper titled "Software Development Lifecycle Models", Nayan B. Ruparelia describes many of
the different options when developing software including the Waterfall model. The Waterfall model
was one of the first true models documented for software development and "has underpinned all
other models" (Ruparelia 2010) since inception. Originally developed by Herbert Benington in 1956
and later adjusted by Winston Royce in 1970 (Ruparelia 2010), the Waterfall method became an
important and widely used process to get software into the workplace. The model follows a pattern
of evaluation, requirements, analysis, design, development, validation, and deployment. Royce's
model also allowed for "iterative feedback" (Ruparelia 2010) that allowed a group to move to a
preceding step if feedback was needed. One of the key tenants of the Waterfall method is heavy
planning and documenting with a key goal of minimizing risk during coding. Also, collaboration is
low across phases as each group in a phase would play a different part in terms of requirements and
validation. Traditionally, the Waterfall model is used to develop large and complex software rollouts
that require different experience levels and backgrounds to accomplish the overarching goal. Once
the software is coded and deployed, the documentation allows for better understanding of what took
place if a process needed to be revisited. Other variations of the Waterfall model have been
documented but the original version is

What Is Dewey And Vygotsky's Model Of Cognitive Development
Dewey (1959) sees experience and education as being dialectically connected. Hence, to Dewey, the
experiences that the teacher designs and creates in the classroom, e.g. tools, activities or the
environment, have an impact on students' learning. The experiences must be relevant, authentic and
meaningful to the students for effective learning to take place. Besides individuals' experiences,
Dewey gives space for social experiences as well. He believes that students' interactions with others
and the environment are crucial factors contributing to their learning. Dewey's belief is further
extended by Vygotsky's (1978) model of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky believed
that collaboration with others helps one to complete tasks that one could not have done without
assistance from and collaboration with others. The ZDP is the level at which learning takes place. It

Social constructivists view the critical importance of interaction with people in cognitive
development. Cognitivists view learning as occurring in the internal structure, of mental processing
of information, independent of the environment.
Learning occurs when learners can socially build, share, co–construct and apply knowledge.
Learning occurs when information is transmitted through and processed in a student's mind
(information processor) to memory. Knowledge can be transmitted and students learn by passively
absorbing knowledge.
Expert knowledge is de–emphasized. Everyone is entitled to constructing knowledge according to

Four Stages Of Jean Piaget's Model Of Child Development
Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget 1896–1980 is renowned for constructing a highly
influential model of child development and learning (Professional Development through Distance
Education). Piaget's theory is based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures–
in other words, mental "maps," schemes, or networked concepts for understanding and responding
to physical experiences within his or her environment. Piaget further attested that a child's cognitive
structure increases in sophistication with development, moving from a few innate reflexes such as
crying and sucking to highly complex mental activities. Piaget's theory identifies four
developmental stages and the processes by which children progress through them. Piaget proposed
four stages of cognitive development which reflect the increasing sophistication of children's
thought are Sensorimotor stage birth to age two, a Pre–operational stage from age two to age seven,
Concrete operational stage from age seven to age eleven, and Formal operational stage age eleven
and up or adolescence and adulthood.
Key Points
The four stages are sensorimotor stage birth two years old. The child, through physical interaction
with his or her environment, builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works. This is the
stage where a child does not know that physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight

An independent quality assurance team defines "test cases" to evaluate whether the product fully or
partially satisfies the requirements outlined in the first step. Three types of testing typically take
place: unit testing of individual code modules; system testing of the integrated product; and
acceptance testing, formally conducted by or on behalf of the customer. Defects, if found, are logged
and feedback provided to the implementation team to enable correction. This is also the stage at
which product documentation, such as a user manual, is prepared, reviewed and published.
5. Maintenance
This step occurs after installation, and involves making modifications to the system or an individual
component to alter attributes or improve performance. These modifications arise either due to
change requests initiated by the customer, or defects uncovered during live use of the system.

Development Models: The Stages Of Development Model
Development Models
Development Models are a structured way to bring about growth used by economists according to
their perceptions of the economic, social and political conditions of a country. A creation of the 20th
century, the rise in use of certain models over others is also proof the existing Western hegemony
present in the world today. Some of the prominent development models, in the field of development
economics over the last century are:
Linear Stages–of–Growth Model
One of the early theories of development economics, this model was formulated by W.W Rostow in
his ' The Stages of Growth: A Non Communist Model" released in 1960. A modification of Marx's
theories on stages of development, it focused on the accelerated accumulation of capital, as the
primary means of promoting economic growth and consequently development. The model
hypothesizes that there are five consecutive stages of development every country has to go through
on its toad to development:
Traditional society
Pre–conditions for take off
Take off
Drive to maturity
Age of high–mass consumption
Rostow's model hence argued that economic take off must be led by a few individual sectors. He
asserts that countries go through each of these stages fairly linearly, and set ... Show more content

It views developing countries as being economically and politically dependent on more powerful,
developed countries which have an interest in maintaining their dominant position. Dependency
theory is the notion that resources flow from a "periphery" of poor and underdeveloped states to a
"core" of wealthy states, enriching the latter at the expense of the former. It is a central contention of
dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states
are integrated into the "world system". The basic premises of this theory

The incremental build model is a method of software development where the model is designed,
implemented and tested incrementally (a little more is added each time) until the product is finished.
It involves both development and maintenance. The product is defined as finished when it satisfies
all of its requirements. This model combines the elements of the waterfall model with the iterative

following ways:
The developmental state gives priority to economic growth rather than political reform. It is of
strong ambition to develop economy;
Private enterprise and business are under the state's guidance. It does not mean that state replaces
private ownerships directly, however, it seeks to intervene and guide private sectors according to
national strategies;
The developmental state has a strong and active central government. Policy instruments are
formulated by a small group of qualified elites in economic policy bureaucracy;
The economic policy bureaucracy consists of a political network which offers sufficient space in

Process Of Software Development : The Waterfall Model
In this semester, we covered three SDLC's waterfall, incremental, and integration. The waterfall
model divided the process of software development into different steps and the next step could not
be initialized until the current step was completed. Incremental development was more of an agile
development, since the processes could interleave. Integration development relies heavily on
reusable code, which focused into integrating the components into the system. GCC and CLANG

CLANG allows the public to submit changes that could become requirements, but they need to be
validated by the CFE or DEV team depending on what kind of changes need to be made. They also
have standards that need to be followed in contemplation of changes becoming requirements.
Software documentation is a key part of the system in order to give guidance of how the architecture
of the software project is made. CLANG uses doxygen to generate its documentation, since the
system is constantly changing. GCC uses their own online documentation to provide manuals and
latest releases. Both GCC and CLANG have incredibly detailed and easy to follow documentation,
which gives the user the essential information to perform any task on the compilers.
As described above in brief detail both GCC and CLANG allow the public to submit changes and

Development Of The Recovery Model
Introduction
The recovery model is very import to the field of marriage and family therapy in many different
ways. Recovery allows for the client to change, and see unlimited possibility. This model is seen
through the lens of values, seeking to help the client to live a rich and meaningful life. Recovery is
strength based, and allows for the client to build from their personal skills set, and doesn't blame a
single person for the distress of the family. This allows for the client to gain a sense of self and self–
worth, see their own values, and be able to create support within the family as well as their
community.
My definition of the recovery model The recovery model is a tool that is used to help a client live
their lives through the best of their abilities. By working with a therapist using the recovery model,
goals are made by both the client and the therapist based upon what the client would like to achieve.
This allows for clients to take control of their own lives and allows for the client to know that they
have different options that they can choose. Clients are better able to come up with goals and the
outcome that they desire to see in their everyday life by giving the client a sense of hope, support,
and purpose.

Models Of Development Effort Estimation
Models of Development Effort Estimation
Introduction
Development effort estimation is often among the first steps when considering a software
engineering project. Estimation is crucial for determining the value of a project: whether it will be a
project that is able to be completed, a project that is worth pursuing, and a project that is
economically justified. A reasonable and informed cost estimate can only be reported to a customer
after effort estimation analysis has been performed.
Formal models, created to improve the accuracy of effort estimation, date back as early as the 1960s
when computer software was still in its youth. In recent decades, more flexible alternatives to the
hard–and–fast formal models have been offered. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
New techniques simply haven't improved the results much. Jorgensen says that comparisons
between estimation accuracy between now and the 1980s show about the same figures.3
There are two main categories of software development effort estimation: model–based estimation
and expert judgment, with model–based estimation often broken up into subcategories. The first part
of this paper will discuss the most traditional techniques for model–based estimation using statistical
regression analysis. Then, the value of expert analysis will be discussed. Next, newer methods of
modeling and estimating development effort will be examined, followed by a look at effort
estimation in the agile field.
Early Models: Regression and Function Point Analysis
Model–based effort estimation for software development began with research conducted in the mid–
sixties identifying characteristics of software projects. At first, partial models based on the
researched attributes were used. Software development was still young and the push for efficiency in
software creation had not caught up to the focus on hardware. As software complexity continued to
rise in the seventies, more advanced and complicated models were produced.4

Usually, the required tasks have been completed and the purpose has been achieved. Members can
now move on to new tasks or another team. It is common to hand over the incomplete tasks to
another team. However, the members will retain the memories of their successful journey.
Adjourning also means changing and inadvertently, this would induce uncertainly and anxiety to
some members. The exiting leader should exercise resolution and firmness when communicating the
impending changes. Application of the Tuckman model: Sometimes, the simplicity of a certain
model becomes its bane – and so it is for the Tuckman model. Anyone seeing the model intuitively

The incremental model is also much more accepting of changing requirements compared to the
waterfall model (1,17).
Analyze Weaknesses For the waterfall model, the rigorous planning prior to the project being started
leads to a rigid design for the software (Ali, 2017, pg.16). The rigid design makes it difficult to
accommodate for any changes that may need to be made along the way (Krishna, Sreekanth, 2016,
pg.162). Ultimately, this could make the waterfall model risky as it has less flexibility (Dawson,
2014, pg.44). The waterfall model is not very suitable for projects where some requirements may be
unknown (2,162). Unknown requirements may call for a change in another part of the project, which
the waterfall model cannot tolerate (1,16). For the incremental model, one of the biggest challenges
of using it stems from not having all of the requirements defined before starting the project (1, 17).
It requires more management to compensate for unknowns, as well as being used for larger projects
(2, 163). Since each cycle adds onto the previous one, design errors can become part of the system
and can be difficult to remove (2, 163). Staring a project with unknown requirements raises the risk
of the project being completed correctly (1,17).

process given that it can be extremely challenging if the relevant competency together with the

principles of design for trust software are comparatively simple but at the same time are not simple
to implement. It is the desirable traits of leadership that can help in getting the best from the
individuals and groups that take part in the development and implementation of robust software. The

was. I reflected on what it may have been like for Piaget to interact with average children when he
was an above–average child. I also thought it was interesting how Piaget decided to have children
manipulate concrete objects instead of the typical question–and–answer procedure. After reading

Agile Software Development The way that software is developed has been rapidly evolving over
time, going through many iterations, one genre of which is Agile software development. The Agile
Manifesto1 was published in 2001, however the ideas behind it have existed and used since the early
1970's when E. A. Edmonds published a paper that introduced the idea of an adaptive software
development process2. Then in the 1990's there was a rapid evolution of software development
processes. This lead to the creation of scrum in 1995, extreme programming in 1996 and feature–

Testing not being done properly is one of the stigma's critics have with Agile software development.
This means that either they did not do enough testing, or their testing methodology was not properly

Tuckman 's Stages Of Group Development Model
A Study on Tuckman's Stages of Group Development Model
1. Introduction
Over the past two decades, it seems that teamwork has become increasingly important and more
companies have formed different teams and groups for various purposes (Samson & Daft, 2012). It
is proved that good teams can be highly productive, however, not every team is successful (Samson
& Daft, 2012). Forming a team can be time consuming and there are many problems related to
teamwork, for example, social loafing might reduce the effectiveness of a team. Therefore, it is
crucial to know how to develop a good team with less time and less effort. Bruce Tuckman in 1965
developed the popular model for effective team building. This model identifies four stages of team
building which are forming, storming, norming and performing (Tuckman, 1965). Later on,
Tuckman added a fifth stage: adjourning to the model (Samson & Daft, 2012). The five–stage team
development model provides a guideline on how team works by using simple and easily
understandable words. However, there are some limitations of this theory as well. This paper in the
following will discuss both the utility and the limitations of Tuckman's team development stage
model. Then it will provide some suggestions based on the limitations of the model.

Abstract
It's been years in the psychology and assessment of moral development that theories of genetic
epistemology and social behaviorism (which are based on Piaget, Kohlberg, and Bandura's
approaches) have been in the center of attention for the psychologists and education experts and
have been used by the educational counseling centers and other psychology centers in Iran.
Therefore, there have not been a suitable theory and proper native assessing tools made in our

The mentioned attitude pays no attention to the eternal moral foundations, to the moral motives and
emotion, to faith and cultural morality, to the moral behavior and objective reactions, and the mental
structure of the people in the rest of the world. Investigating the moral development theories among
Western psychologists brings us to the conclusion that we can divide them into three groups. A
group of the Western psychologists (such as Lorenz, 1983; Goodall, 1990; da Waal, 1991 & 1996;
Raine, 1997; Hoffman 2000; Haidt, 2001) believe the roots of moralities and social behavior to be in
the human biological evolution history. Another group (including the psycho–analysts such as
Freud, 1925/1961, and social–learning theory–makers such as Bandura, 1977) believe moralities to
be compatibility with social norms. The third group, is the one whose viewpoints have been
considered more than any of the other two groups, who state that morality is fundamentally the
amount of cognitive development. Jean Piaget and (1932/1965) and Lawrence Kohlberg (1976),
more than any other psychologist, represent this group. The though foundations of some other
psychologists (such as Gilligan, 1982; & Rest, 1986) who have conducted more recent studies about

When there is a bond between two individuals, the first overall part is the coming together stage. It

Initiating. For example, the likeness of one another, their personality and what makes you like the

Although the bonding stage is most likely where people intend to keep their relationship going
forever, sometimes it does not happen. Until now, the rank of divorce couples is higher than the rate
of committed couples.
Therefore, just like the coming together stages of a relationship there are five stages to coming apart.
The first sign of a relationship coming to an end is Differentiating, meaning the couple's
commonalities and differences are affecting them. In the course of this stage, the impetus of
"working together" stance instantly move from "couple" to "individualistic". Temporary
estrangement become a solution. For that reason, the relationship shifts rapidly from differences to
setting boundaries on the couple's interaction. This is called the Circumscribing stage, which means
to know everything you need to know about your partner but you avoid it by going around the
problem. It is like saying your partner isn't sincere so you avoid the problem and not sort it out
which includes less communication.
The fourth stage is Stagnating, simply means that once you find out your partner is unfaithful you
remain to do nothing about it. For instance, you know your partner is playing around so you let it
carry on until action is taken. Which eventually comes down to the final stage which is Terminating.

The Tuckman's Model : Five Stages Of Team Development
– Introduction:
The Tuckman Model (1965) is a five–stage model which identifies five stages of team development;
forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. In order to obtain the team's optimal
productivity and outcomes, it is suggested that the team goes through the stages of development
which the facilitator must oversee. The stages help the facilitator to develop the groups and to better
manage the participants should any conflict arise. The following report describes a small group of
carers who are caring for someone who has post–traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how the
stages of development were used within the group work. Forming is the first stage where group
members begin to become oriented with each other and the facilitator (George Mason University,
2017). The storming stage follows where conflicts and competition arise between group members as
they have often not become comfortable or familiar with each other (George Mason University,
2017). Norming is the third stage of Tuckman's Model which involves group member's feeling
which enable them to contribute to the group's development resulting in group cohesion (Wilson,
2010). Performing is the fourth stage of group development where group members can work
interdependently, within subgroups or as a whole and are the most productive in developing as a
group and as an individual (George Mason University, 2017). Adjourning is the last stage of
Tuckman's model which involves dissolving the group and

Software Development Life Cycle Model
SDLC Models The quality of a software highly depend on the process that is followed in the
organization for the projects. There are a large number of projects failed in the software nowadays
due to lack of a SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) model or selecting a poor SDLC model
for their projects. "By selecting right software process model a better and high quality product can
be found within budget and time" (Neha & Satinder Pal, 2011). "SDLC models are tools that allow
the development team to correctly follow the SDLC Steps to create software that meets a business
need" (Purcell, n.d). According to Hoffer, Ramesh and Topi: The SDLC is a complete set of steps
that a team of information systems professionals, including database designers and programmers,
follow in an organization to specify, develop, maintain, and replace information systems. Textbooks
and organizations use many variations on the life cycle and may identify anywhere from 3 to 20
different phases. (P.65) There are different models defined for the systems development in today's

models have 4 phases involved. However, later few of the phases have been further split and made 7

1. Describe what is meant by the terms "Sequential" and "Iterative" development models. The
sequential model uses the traditional approach wherein the entire process takes place in an orderly
fashion following a step by step approach. In this model each phase must be completed before the
next phase begins. Starting with the requirement phase next comes the design phase then
implementation, verification and finally maintenance phase. So, all these phases have to be dealt
with only once in the entire cycle. We cannot go back to the previous phases. While adopting this
model one must be cautious that if any mistake takes place then it's impossible to go back and deal
with it. In iterative model the entire cycle takes place in multiple iterations. In the initial iteration the
basic requirements are taken and the entire process takes place. So eventually in subsequent
iterations the development takes place. This method is basically used to develop a system or a
project using repeated cycles. Any improvement or changes to be done takes place in successive
iterations. This model is highly recommended if working on a bigger project. 2. Identify 2 positive

Such transparent behavior is within all the projects and leads to clear expectations A plausible
explanation for many of the challenges faced by organizations using CMMI is likely the fact that
most processes implemented using CMMI fail to distinguish that CMMI is fundamentally a model.
Instead of viewing CMMI as a model they look at it as a standard. A standard is an auditable,
testable, compliable work with a limited amount of set demonstrable outcomes with little variation
between iterations. This misuse of CMMI as a standard is a complete misuse of the model as CMMI
does not contain any set processes or procedures . They are not activities that necessarily need to
occur within a specific process. They are process–oriented activities that when used collectively can
reach the process area and business goals to improve the real–life activities of an System CMMI's

Software Development Model Under The Refactoring Method...
Abstract–The quality of software is an important topic in the development of successful software
application. Many software development methods have been applied to enhance the software
quality. The improvement of software quality can be achieved through using refactoring which
improves the internal structure of a software without changing its external behavior. However,
refactoring effects the quality attributes of software such as reusability, complexity, maintainability,
flexibility, modularity, modifiability, and understandability. Thus there is a need to proof the imprint
of refactoring on the software quality. This paper will propose a software development model under
the refactoring method concept. In addition, an evaluation will be conducted to check the
effectiveness of the reusability and modifiability quality attributes on a software development
process with and without applying the refactoring method. As a result, this study can be used by
developers to aid them in determining whether or not to apply refactoring to improve quality
attributes.

New product developments are one of the main sources of competitive advantage for companies
today. Companies need new product to keep up with its' competitors. New product development can

The objective of NPD is to minimize the risk of failure. As NPD absorbs both financial and human
resources from a company, it is therefore necessary to develop and implement a methodology for
assisting in the introduction of new products.
NPD models can help to identify problems at an early stage and assist in directing the NPD effort in

Stages are cross functional and each activity is undertaken in parallel to enhance speed to market. To
manage risk, the parallel activities in a certain stage must be designed to gather vital information –
technical, market, financial, operations – in order to drive down the technical and business risk.
Each successive stage is also more costly than previous stage. The idea is to allow an increase in
spending on the development of projects as the uncertainty goes down. Preceding each stage is a
decision point or gate which serves as a go/kill and prioritization decision point.
The advantages of the stage–gate are following:
– Well organized innovation can be a source of competitive advantage.
– Accelerated product development. Necessary because of shortening product life cycles.
– Increased success chance of new products. Prevents poor projects early and helps to redirect them
– Integrated market orientation.

The multiple convergent model (Baker and Hart, 1994) follows parallel processing – like the stage–
gate model – which allows iterations among participants within stages. However, there are two
problems with parallel processing. First, it ignores the important inputs to NPD that are provided by

Overview Of Erikson's Psychosocial Model Of Development
Since the development of Erik Erikson's psychosocial model of development in the 1960s, it has
become one of the most widely used measurements for studying emotional and personality
development across the human lifespan (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). Erikson's model contains eight
developmental stages, beginning in infancy and progressing until old age, and as a person ages they
begin to pass through the stages, with a new psychological crisis arising at each stage (Svetina,
2014). Whitbourne, Sneed and Sayer (2009) describe how the outcome of each crisis is met with
identity attainment and new personal adaptations (positive outcome), or with an incoherent identity
(negative outcome). Additionally, each new stage allows for the reassessment of previous
achievements, and in some cases, failures (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). Erikson's model is commonly
recognised as a developmental ladder – each previous stage lays a foundation before an individual
can progress toward the next stage (Malone, Liu, Valliant, Rentz & Waldinger, 2016). It is important
to note that whilst they are referred to as "stages", they should be viewed as being on a continuum
rather than fixed categories (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). The current paper will focus on three key
stages of Erikson's model – industry vs. inferiority, intimacy vs. isolation, and generativity vs.
stagnation. Applying each to selected characters from the 2003 romantic–comedy Christmas film,
Love Actually. This film follows the lives of eight unique couples, each dealing with both their love
lives and personal development. Interestingly, each of the eight stories are loosely interrelated. The
film picks up five weeks before Christmas, playing out a weekly countdown to the annual holiday,
concluding with an epilogue that takes place a month after Christmas. Whilst the film follows eight
couples, the current paper will only focus on three individuals – Sam, Sarah, and Billy Mack. Each
of whom are in different stages of Erikson's model. Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is
suited to analyse this particular film as each character, including ones beyond this analysis, are all in
different stages and outcomes of the model. It is this that allows for direct examples of how

confidence, and security. With proper development comes the basic virtue of hope. In the Cross

Developmental Psychology : Major Models Of Psychosocial...
Developmental psychology recognizes three main models of psychosocial and cognitive
development. The first theory, presented by developmental psychologist and philosopher Jean
Piaget, addresses cognitive development. The second theory, presented by psychologist Lawrence
Kohlberg, focuses on the development of morality. The third theory, proposed by developmental
psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, outlines psychosocial development. All three theories
are applicable from birth to death.
Piaget believe that children are active thinkers. He recognized that the mind develops through a
series of irreversible stages. He also acknowledged that a child's maturing brain builds schemas that
are constantly assimilating and accommodating to the world around them. Piaget's theory of
cognitive development is split into four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational,
and formal operational. The sensorimotor stage occurs from birth to nearly two years of age. At this
stage, infants learn about the world around them by sensing it and interacting within it. It is also in
this stage that the idea of object permanence develops, that is, the awareness that things continue to

Army Leaders Development Model

  • 1. Army Leaders Development Model Throughout history, leadership has always been one of the cornerstones contributing to the success of the United States military. Whether in a Garrison or a combat environment, the applicability and level of effectiveness of leadership can be rooted to the resources made available to leaders. To form a clear comparison of garrison and combat leadership; mission and responsibilities must be taken in consideration. A common leadership responsibility, in both garrison and combat environments, is improving the efficiency and development of Soldiers. Utilizing the Army's Leaders Development Model, the three domains of institutional, operational, and self–development can be used to gauge the comparison. The institutional domain is comprised of centers and schools that provide the initial and subsequent functional training for Soldiers. These institutions develop Soldiers for progression into higher levels of responsibility and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The operational domains encompass the hands–on experiences, technical competencies, and lessons learned. The domain has positive application for both the leader and Soldier development. Combat contributes to the development of a leader's operational experience. Leaders develop coping systems and familiarization for the high tempo of the environment. While in combat, leaders have to become more resourceful and adaptable to the complexed nature and constant changes of their environment. In contrast, garrison leaders utilize the operational domain to train and prepare their organization for future missions. The training used simulates the stressful conditions presented in the combat environment. Previous combat experiences are incorporated into the training to assist in development. The comparison between the two can vary dependent on the of the effectiveness of the training and the adaptability utilized during the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Although the two are different they still intersect with each other. The two models have stages. However, each stage is based on something different in both models. Each stage is followed by another stage. In addition, each stage builds upon each other. The Erikson stages mainly focuses on development. The stages on based on age groups in the Erikson stages. The Erikson stage starts from birth to sixty–five years old. The first stage is Trust vs. Mistrust and the last stage is Ego Integrity vs. Despair. In the Erikson stage, the goal is for an individual to feel a sense of fulfillment in life. "If they feel that they haven't done much during their life, it's likely that they will experience a sense of despair" (Erik Erikson's Theory). They want to feel that their life was productive and that they accomplish many things in life. Being able to share accomplishment with their grandchildren and great grandchild is valuable to them. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The stage is numbered from one to five.

Growing up identify who we are can be challenging. As discussed in class, some individual accepts their cultural while others do not. Which could cause conflict between the family and the individual. Identify with a different cultural, and not the majority cultural, can be intimidating to some individual's. Meaning they can feel welcomed to the majority group because they identify as one of them. However, that could change if the individual does not identify with the majority group. Which may confuse the individual not knowing with what group to identify with.

  • 5. Software Development Lifecycle Models And The Waterfall Model In a paper titled "Software Development Lifecycle Models", Nayan B. Ruparelia describes many of the different options when developing software including the Waterfall model. The Waterfall model was one of the first true models documented for software development and "has underpinned all other models" (Ruparelia 2010) since inception. Originally developed by Herbert Benington in 1956 and later adjusted by Winston Royce in 1970 (Ruparelia 2010), the Waterfall method became an important and widely used process to get software into the workplace. The model follows a pattern of evaluation, requirements, analysis, design, development, validation, and deployment. Royce's model also allowed for "iterative feedback" (Ruparelia 2010) that allowed a group to move to a preceding step if feedback was needed. One of the key tenants of the Waterfall method is heavy planning and documenting with a key goal of minimizing risk during coding. Also, collaboration is low across phases as each group in a phase would play a different part in terms of requirements and validation. Traditionally, the Waterfall model is used to develop large and complex software rollouts that require different experience levels and backgrounds to accomplish the overarching goal. Once the software is coded and deployed, the documentation allows for better understanding of what took place if a process needed to be revisited. Other variations of the Waterfall model have been documented but the original version is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 12. What Is Dewey And Vygotsky's Model Of Cognitive Development Dewey (1959) sees experience and education as being dialectically connected. Hence, to Dewey, the experiences that the teacher designs and creates in the classroom, e.g. tools, activities or the environment, have an impact on students' learning. The experiences must be relevant, authentic and meaningful to the students for effective learning to take place. Besides individuals' experiences, Dewey gives space for social experiences as well. He believes that students' interactions with others and the environment are crucial factors contributing to their learning. Dewey's belief is further extended by Vygotsky's (1978) model of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky believed that collaboration with others helps one to complete tasks that one could not have done without assistance from and collaboration with others. The ZDP is the level at which learning takes place. It comprises cognitive structures that are still in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Learning occurs when information is transmitted through and processed in a student's mind (information processor) to memory. Knowledge can be transmitted and students learn by passively absorbing knowledge. Expert knowledge is de–emphasized.

  • 14. Four Stages Of Jean Piaget's Model Of Child Development Swiss biologist and psychologist Jean Piaget 1896–1980 is renowned for constructing a highly influential model of child development and learning (Professional Development through Distance Education). Piaget's theory is based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures– in other words, mental "maps," schemes, or networked concepts for understanding and responding to physical experiences within his or her environment. Piaget further attested that a child's cognitive structure increases in sophistication with development, moving from a few innate reflexes such as crying and sucking to highly complex mental activities. Piaget's theory identifies four developmental stages and the processes by which children progress through them. Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development which reflect the increasing sophistication of children's thought are Sensorimotor stage birth to age two, a Pre–operational stage from age two to age seven, Concrete operational stage from age seven to age eleven, and Formal operational stage age eleven and up or adolescence and adulthood. Key Points The four stages are sensorimotor stage birth two years old. The child, through physical interaction with his or her environment, builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works. This is the stage where a child does not know that physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight object permanence.

An independent quality assurance team defines "test cases" to evaluate whether the product fully or partially satisfies the requirements outlined in the first step. Three types of testing typically take place: unit testing of individual code modules; system testing of the integrated product; and acceptance testing, formally conducted by or on behalf of the customer. Defects, if found, are logged and feedback provided to the implementation team to enable correction. This is also the stage at which product documentation, such as a user manual, is prepared, reviewed and published. 5. Maintenance This step occurs after installation, and involves making modifications to the system or an individual component to alter attributes or improve performance. These modifications arise either due to change requests initiated by the customer, or defects uncovered during live use of the system.

A creation of the 20th century, the rise in use of certain models over others is also proof the existing Western hegemony present in the world today. Some of the prominent development models, in the field of development economics over the last century are: Linear Stages–of–Growth Model One of the early theories of development economics, this model was formulated by W.W Rostow in his ' The Stages of Growth: A Non Communist Model" released in 1960. A modification of Marx's theories on stages of development, it focused on the accelerated accumulation of capital, as the primary means of promoting economic growth and consequently development. The model hypothesizes that there are five consecutive stages of development every country has to go through on its toad to development: Traditional society Pre–conditions for take off Take off Drive to maturity Age of high–mass consumption Rostow's model hence argued that economic take off must be led by a few individual sectors.

It is a central contention of dependency theory that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by the way poor states are integrated into the "world system".

The advantages and disadvantages of the developmental state model for achieving development goals Introduction The term developmental state has been widely utilised to describe any state experiencing a period of economic development and improvement in living standards (Pham, 2012). One of the most significant arguments in this scope is the performance of developmental state model. A number of scholars have attempted to investigate this issue and arguments can be divided into three categories. Proponents of state intervention indicate that the state plays an indispensable role in directing economic development and utilising the resources of the country to achieve development goals. On the contrary, those who oppose state–led model argue ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Characteristics of a developmental state In order to understand the term 'developmental state', it is necessary to focus on a number of characteristics of a developmental state. Summaries can be referred to the main empirical findings of previous literatures such as Öniş (1991), Wade (1992), Polidano (2001), Huff et al. (2001), Kenny and Williams (2001), and Beeson (2014). Generally, its main factors could be summarised in the following ways: The developmental state gives priority to economic growth rather than political reform. It is of strong ambition to develop economy; Private enterprise and business are under the state's guidance. It does not mean that state replaces private ownerships directly, however, it seeks to intervene and guide private sectors according to national strategies; The developmental state has a strong and active central government. Policy instruments are formulated by a small group of qualified elites in economic policy bureaucracy; The economic policy bureaucracy consists of a political network which offers sufficient space in initiative–taking and effective operation; Economic nationalism is one of the characteristics, which has been observed in successful developmental states.

The waterfall model divided the process of software development into different steps and the next step could not be initialized until the current step was completed. Incremental development was more of an agile development, since the processes could interleave. Integration development relies heavily on reusable code, which focused into integrating the components into the system. GCC and CLANG strive to give users the latest and most recent updates of their compilers. Therefore, with both being updated so frequently, the waterfall model is not the best SDLC for either of these systems. However, GCC or CLANG could be either incremental or integration. Both ...

CLANG allows the public to submit changes that could become requirements, but they need to be validated by the CFE or DEV team depending on what kind of changes need to be made. They also have standards that need to be followed in contemplation of changes becoming requirements. Software documentation is a key part of the system in order to give guidance of how the architecture of the software project is made. CLANG uses doxygen to generate its documentation, since the system is constantly changing. GCC uses their own online documentation to provide manuals and latest releases. Both GCC and CLANG have incredibly detailed and easy to follow documentation, which gives the user the essential information to perform any task on the compilers. As described above in brief detail both GCC and CLANG allow the public to submit changes and both have standards that need to be followed in order to get the changes looked at. GCC will only commit changes if is considered a major change. They have a description on what a major change is as well as what the process is to make a major change. CLANG provides a more thorough explanation on what is done to validate a patch and release it to the public, which makes it better in a way. CLANG describes the seven steps that merits a proposed extension, as well as the coding standard that needs to be followed. Both systems have a complex way of validating changes, since they need to guarantee that the change is not only valid but also doesn't ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 29. Development Of The Recovery Model Introduction The recovery model is very import to the field of marriage and family therapy in many different ways. Recovery allows for the client to change, and see unlimited possibility. This model is seen through the lens of values, seeking to help the client to live a rich and meaningful life. Recovery is strength based, and allows for the client to build from their personal skills set, and doesn't blame a single person for the distress of the family. This allows for the client to gain a sense of self and self– worth, see their own values, and be able to create support within the family as well as their community. My definition of the recovery model The recovery model is a tool that is used to help a client live their lives through the best of their abilities.

This allows for clients to take control of their own lives and allows for the client to know that they have different options that they can choose.

Models Of Development Effort Estimation Models of Development Effort Estimation Introduction Development effort estimation is often among the first steps when considering a software engineering project. Estimation is crucial for determining the value of a project: whether it will be a project that is able to be completed, a project that is worth pursuing, and a project that is economically justified. A reasonable and informed cost estimate can only be reported to a customer after effort estimation analysis has been performed. Formal models, created to improve the accuracy of effort estimation, date back as early as the 1960s when computer software was still in its youth. In recent decades, more flexible alternatives to the hard–and–fast formal models have been offered. The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... New techniques simply haven't improved the results much. Jorgensen says that comparisons between estimation accuracy between now and the 1980s show about the same figures.3 There are two main categories of software development effort estimation: model–based estimation and expert judgment, with model–based estimation often broken up into subcategories. The first part of this paper will discuss the most traditional techniques for model–based estimation using statistical regression analysis. Then, the value of expert analysis will be discussed. Next, newer methods of modeling and estimating development effort will be examined, followed by a look at effort estimation in the agile field. Early Models: Regression and Function Point Analysis Model–based effort estimation for software development began with research conducted in the mid– sixties identifying characteristics of software projects. At first, partial models based on the researched attributes were used. Software development was still young and the push for efficiency in software creation had not caught up to the focus on hardware. As software complexity continued to rise in the seventies, more advanced and complicated models were produced.4 Parametric regression models are among the earliest types of models used for software effort estimation.5 They have also been one of the most studied ...

Tuckmans Team Development Model TUCKMANS TEAM DEVELOPMENT MODEL The four stages of team forming is an evergreen model used by countless facilitators who conduct teambuilding or leadership related workshops. Frequently, though – it is just touched upon in a very superficial way. The model though holds great substance and relevance while conducting experiential team building activities. Lets take a dive into the model: Overview In 1938, Dr. Bruce Tuckman, a renowned psychologist introduced the 4–stage team developmental model that is now known very well. Less common to most, Dr. Tuckman has added a fifth stage to the model in 1965 which is the "adjourning" stage. Let's walk through the 5 stages.

Members can now move on to new tasks or another team. It is common to hand over the incomplete tasks to another team. However, the members will retain the memories of their successful journey. Adjourning also means changing and inadvertently, this would induce uncertainly and anxiety to some members. The exiting leader should exercise resolution and firmness when communicating the impending changes. Application of the Tuckman model: Sometimes, the simplicity of a certain model becomes its bane – and so it is for the Tuckman model. Anyone seeing the model intuitively understands it – having been a part of many teams. The question for all of us as team leaders though is – how do we consciously apply this to our teams? Give a thought to it today. In what stage of the Tuckmans model do you think your team is in?

  • 35. Different Types Of Software Development Models I selected this topic because it is vital to anyone who wants to develop software to understand the various types of software development models. Software development models guide developers from start to finish for any given project. They encompass areas of development such as research, planning, design, coding, testing, setup, and maintenance (Liviu, 2014, pg.39–40). Various software models exist so it is also important for developers to know how to select the proper one that will be the most effective for their particular project. Although many models exist, for this review I will focus on two of the most commonly used software development models, which are the waterfall model, and the incremental model. HOW EACH MODEL WORKS. In this ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The incremental model is also much more accepting of changing requirements compared to the waterfall model (1,17). Analyze Weaknesses For the waterfall model, the rigorous planning prior to the project being started leads to a rigid design for the software (Ali, 2017, pg.16). The rigid design makes it difficult to accommodate for any changes that may need to be made along the way (Krishna, Sreekanth, 2016, pg.162). Ultimately, this could make the waterfall model risky as it has less flexibility (Dawson, 2014, pg.44). The waterfall model is not very suitable for projects where some requirements may be unknown (2,162). Unknown requirements may call for a change in another part of the project, which the waterfall model cannot tolerate (1,16). For the incremental model, one of the biggest challenges of using it stems from not having all of the requirements defined before starting the project (1, 17). It requires more management to compensate for unknowns, as well as being used for larger projects (2, 163). Since each cycle adds onto the previous one, design errors can become part of the system and can be difficult to remove (2, 163). Staring a project with unknown requirements raises the risk of the project being completed correctly (1,17).

This includes insight into Piaget's childhood, education, research interests, and theory development. According to Brainerd (1996), Piaget had a difficult childhood given that his mother had some type of mental health problem and as well as religious fixation. Piaget's father was a medieval–literature scholar who Piaget admired (Brainerd, 1996). These difficulties as well as the influence of his father led Piaget to delve into academia. At the age of 10, Piaget had published an article on Mollusks.

I think that by understanding his childhood and academic background, I have more insight into how and why Piaget focused on the areas of psychology that he did. Piaget's parents significantly influenced the path that Piaget took in his life. On another level, I found it to be interesting that Piaget developed his stage model for cognitive development given how atypical his development was. I reflected on what it may have been like for Piaget to interact with average children when he was an above–average child. I also thought it was interesting how Piaget decided to have children manipulate concrete objects instead of the typical question–and–answer procedure. After reading through the article and also taking into account Piaget's stage development theory, I think that I will adjust my methods of working with children.

The Agile Manifesto1 was published in 2001, however the ideas behind it have existed and used since the early 1970's when E. A. Edmonds published a paper that introduced the idea of an adaptive software development process2. Then in the 1990's there was a rapid evolution of software development processes. This lead to the creation of scrum in 1995, extreme programming in 1996 and feature– driven development in 1997. Though they were devised before the Agile Manifesto was created, they now all fall under Agile software development. Agile software development methods are generally considered much better than previous methods, such as the Waterfall method, though it is still considered to be in its early stages with many issues3.

Introduction Over the past two decades, it seems that teamwork has become increasingly important and more companies have formed different teams and groups for various purposes (Samson & Daft, 2012). It is proved that good teams can be highly productive, however, not every team is successful (Samson & Daft, 2012). Forming a team can be time consuming and there are many problems related to teamwork, for example, social loafing might reduce the effectiveness of a team. Therefore, it is crucial to know how to develop a good team with less time and less effort. Bruce Tuckman in 1965 developed the popular model for effective team building. This model identifies four stages of team building which are forming, storming, norming and performing (Tuckman, 1965). Later on, Tuckman added a fifth stage: adjourning to the model (Samson & Daft, 2012). The five–stage team development model provides a guideline on how team works by using simple and easily understandable words. However, there are some limitations of this theory as well. This paper in the following will discuss both the utility and the limitations of Tuckman's team development stage model. Then it will provide some suggestions based on the limitations of the model. 2.

Investigating the moral development theories among Western psychologists brings us to the conclusion that we can divide them into three groups. A group of the Western psychologists (such as Lorenz, 1983; Goodall, 1990; da Waal, 1991 & 1996; Raine, 1997; Hoffman 2000; Haidt, 2001) believe the roots of moralities and social behavior to be in the human biological evolution history. Another group (including the psycho–analysts such as Freud, 1925/1961, and social–learning theory–makers such as Bandura, 1977) believe moralities to be compatibility with social norms. The third group, is the one whose viewpoints have been considered more than any of the other two groups, who state that morality is fundamentally the amount of cognitive development. Jean Piaget and (1932/1965) and Lawrence Kohlberg (1976), more than any other psychologist, represent this group.

Although the bonding stage is most likely where people intend to keep their relationship going forever, sometimes it does not happen. Until now, the rank of divorce couples is higher than the rate of committed couples. Therefore, just like the coming together stages of a relationship there are five stages to coming apart. The first sign of a relationship coming to an end is Differentiating, meaning the couple's commonalities and differences are affecting them. In the course of this stage, the impetus of "working together" stance instantly move from "couple" to "individualistic". Temporary estrangement become a solution. For that reason, the relationship shifts rapidly from differences to setting boundaries on the couple's interaction. This is called the Circumscribing stage, which means to know everything you need to know about your partner but you avoid it by going around the problem. It is like saying your partner isn't sincere so you avoid the problem and not sort it out which includes less communication. The fourth stage is Stagnating, simply means that once you find out your partner is unfaithful you remain to do nothing about it. For instance, you know your partner is playing around so you let it carry on until action is taken. Which eventually comes down to the final stage which is Terminating.

The Tuckman's Model : Five Stages Of Team Development – Introduction: The Tuckman Model (1965) is a five–stage model which identifies five stages of team development; forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. In order to obtain the team's optimal productivity and outcomes, it is suggested that the team goes through the stages of development which the facilitator must oversee. The stages help the facilitator to develop the groups and to better manage the participants should any conflict arise. The following report describes a small group of carers who are caring for someone who has post–traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how the stages of development were used within the group work. Forming is the first stage where group members begin to become oriented with each other and the facilitator (George Mason University, 2017). The storming stage follows where conflicts and competition arise between group members as they have often not become comfortable or familiar with each other (George Mason University, 2017). Norming is the third stage of Tuckman's Model which involves group member's feeling which enable them to contribute to the group's development resulting in group cohesion (Wilson, 2010). Performing is the fourth stage of group development where group members can work interdependently, within subgroups or as a whole and are the most productive in developing as a group and as an individual (George Mason University, 2017).

The sequential model uses the traditional approach wherein the entire process takes place in an orderly fashion following a step by step approach. In this model each phase must be completed before the next phase begins. Starting with the requirement phase next comes the design phase then implementation, verification and finally maintenance phase. So, all these phases have to be dealt with only once in the entire cycle. We cannot go back to the previous phases. While adopting this model one must be cautious that if any mistake takes place then it's impossible to go back and deal with it. In iterative model the entire cycle takes place in multiple iterations. In the initial iteration the basic requirements are taken and the entire process takes place. So eventually in subsequent iterations the development takes place. This method is basically used to develop a system or a project using repeated cycles. Any improvement or changes to be done takes place in successive iterations. This model is highly recommended if working on a bigger project. 2.

Such transparent behavior is within all the projects and leads to clear expectations A plausible explanation for many of the challenges faced by organizations using CMMI is likely the fact that most processes implemented using CMMI fail to distinguish that CMMI is fundamentally a model. Instead of viewing CMMI as a model they look at it as a standard. A standard is an auditable, testable, compliable work with a limited amount of set demonstrable outcomes with little variation between iterations. This misuse of CMMI as a standard is a complete misuse of the model as CMMI does not contain any set processes or procedures .

They are process–oriented activities that when used collectively can reach the process area and business goals to improve the real–life activities of an System CMMI's ultimate goal (i.e., continuous process improvement) is to cause an organization to become less wasteful, leaner, and more in touch with actual development progress.

Many software development methods have been applied to enhance the software quality. The improvement of software quality can be achieved through using refactoring which improves the internal structure of a software without changing its external behavior. However, refactoring effects the quality attributes of software such as reusability, complexity, maintainability, flexibility, modularity, modifiability, and understandability. Thus there is a need to proof the imprint of refactoring on the software quality. This paper will propose a software development model under the refactoring method concept. In addition, an evaluation will be conducted to check the effectiveness of the reusability and modifiability quality attributes on a software development process with and without applying the refactoring method. As a result, this study can be used by developers to aid them in determining whether or not to apply refactoring to improve quality attributes.

Stages are cross functional and each activity is undertaken in parallel to enhance speed to market. To manage risk, the parallel activities in a certain stage must be designed to gather vital information – technical, market, financial, operations – in order to drive down the technical and business risk. Each successive stage is also more costly than previous stage. The idea is to allow an increase in spending on the development of projects as the uncertainty goes down. Preceding each stage is a decision point or gate which serves as a go/kill and prioritization decision point. The advantages of the stage–gate are following: – Well organized innovation can be a source of competitive advantage. – Accelerated product development. Necessary because of shortening product life cycles. – Increased success chance of new products. Prevents poor projects early and helps to redirect them – Integrated market orientation. Multiple convergent model The multiple convergent model (Baker and Hart, 1994) follows parallel processing – like the stage– gate model – which allows iterations among participants within stages. However, there are two problems with parallel processing. First, it ignores the important inputs to NPD that are provided by customers and suppliers. Second, if functions are to work in parallel then when do the processes take decisions and move on to the next stage? The multiple convergent model overcomes the issue by ...

  • 69. Overview Of Erikson's Psychosocial Model Of Development Since the development of Erik Erikson's psychosocial model of development in the 1960s, it has become one of the most widely used measurements for studying emotional and personality development across the human lifespan (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). Erikson's model contains eight developmental stages, beginning in infancy and progressing until old age, and as a person ages they begin to pass through the stages, with a new psychological crisis arising at each stage (Svetina, 2014). Whitbourne, Sneed and Sayer (2009) describe how the outcome of each crisis is met with identity attainment and new personal adaptations (positive outcome), or with an incoherent identity (negative outcome). Additionally, each new stage allows for the reassessment of previous achievements, and in some cases, failures (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). Erikson's model is commonly recognised as a developmental ladder – each previous stage lays a foundation before an individual can progress toward the next stage (Malone, Liu, Valliant, Rentz & Waldinger, 2016). It is important to note that whilst they are referred to as "stages", they should be viewed as being on a continuum rather than fixed categories (Dunkel & Harbke, 2017). The current paper will focus on three key stages of Erikson's model – industry vs. inferiority, intimacy vs. isolation, and generativity vs. stagnation. Applying each to selected characters from the 2003 romantic–comedy Christmas film, Love Actually. This film follows the lives of eight unique couples, each dealing with both their love lives and personal development. Interestingly, each of the eight stories are loosely interrelated. The film picks up five weeks before Christmas, playing out a weekly countdown to the annual holiday, concluding with an epilogue that takes place a month after Christmas. Whilst the film follows eight couples, the current paper will only focus on three individuals – Sam, Sarah, and Billy Mack. Each of whom are in different stages of Erikson's model. Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is suited to analyse this particular film as each character, including ones beyond this analysis, are all in different stages and outcomes of the model. It is this that allows for direct examples of how ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Analysis and Design Phases Description Software Engineering is the whole process of developing a software product from beginning to end using an accepted methodology. One of the common and oldest methods is the Waterfall model which sets a linear sequence of progression from Requirements gathering and analysis, design, implementation, testing to maintenance (Philip L, Matthew, &Nick, 2002). Fig (1) the waterfall model of software development The five common stages include 1. Analysis At this stage the system requirements are collected and defined. Every existing systems can also be evaluated and each inadequacy can be highlighted. 2. Design A design specification is taken from requirements analysis, which plans are prepared related to physical construction, hardware, operating systems, programming, communications and safety issues. 3. Build Using the design specification, the system is developed and elements built. Additionally, the system will also be tested and user training will happen. 4. Implement

Development Of Collaborative Learning Model Development of Collaborative Learning Model Via Cloud Technology Enhancing ICT Competency Chanin Thitipetchakul University of Northern Colorado Introduction In the past decade, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has been imported to raising the value of the national economic, societal, and educational development. Instructional has changed with the progress of technology, online learning has been boosted as more efficacious, more convenient and providing increased opportunities for the lifelong learning (Olson and Wisher, 2002; Richardson and Swan, 2003). In Thailand, the government started educational reform the 2nd in 2002, National Education Act. The purpose of this reform was focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of learning. Students were encouraged to emphasizing on the skills of the 21st century, creative thinking, problem–solving, critical thinking and collaborative learning with information technologies, and improve learning and the ability of each person based on the student–centered learning approach. Currently, the government announced the ICT Policy Framework 2020 of Thailand recognizes the integration of technology in education to enhance the education system of the country. Online education as a one strategy in development by improving and empowering ICT as an educational instrument for supporting the general class–based instruction.

  • 76. Compare And Contrast Erikson's Stages Of Development Vs... Erikson's Stages of Development VS. The Cross Model Erikson's Theory of Development, is composed of psychosocial stages that identify what a healthy developing individual should pass through to be successful. The Cross Model, a racial identity theory, adopted the idea of Nigrescence, the process of becoming black. The model looks at the progression of identification of individuals as they move towards a healthy black identity. In both theories, all of the stages move thru an individual's entire life span until they have reached their basic virtues, or commitment. Infancy/ Early Childhood In the two theories, the first stages start with infancy. Erikson explains that during this stage of Trust vs. Mistrust, the major emphasis is on the mother and father's nurturing ability and care for a child. If properly cared and handled, the child will develop optimism, trust, confidence, and security. With proper development comes the basic virtue of hope. In the Cross Model, parents, guardians and those who are present in a child's life have routines and norms that emulate the black culture and an individual is consistently being socialized into the Black culture. In both stages parents play an important role in the process of healthy development, and the process of healthy racial identity. Preadolescence The fourth stage in ...

There are many different models that can be used, however, correct selection of a methodology is paramount to its success. If applied correctly it will aid Project Managers in controlling a project throughout its lifespan and enable them to react to the unpredictable. With many different project development models available selecting the correct one could in itself become a mini project. This assignment will look to research and report on three different project development models (Waterfall, RAD and Scrum) examining their advantages and disadvantages to aid in model selection. The Waterfall Method 2. The Waterfall method was originally developed in 1970 by Dr. W Royce to assist with the development of software. It has survived to this day through adaption and revisions enabling it to be one of the most widely used models (Charvat 2003). Its namesake originates from the analogy of a waterfall flowing downwards with the model following suit, cascading towards completion (Balaji and Murugaiyan 2012) this is known as a serial lifecycle. Each phase (starting in the top left corner) within the serial lifecycle is completed before moving on to the next phase until the end goal is reached (see Figure 1). This kind of method suits projects that have clearly defined stage goals, outcomes or solutions that are highlighted in the initial strategy of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 80. Developmental Psychology : Major Models Of Psychosocial... Developmental psychology recognizes three main models of psychosocial and cognitive development. The first theory, presented by developmental psychologist and philosopher Jean Piaget, addresses cognitive development. The second theory, presented by psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, focuses on the development of morality. The third theory, proposed by developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, outlines psychosocial development. All three theories are applicable from birth to death. Piaget believe that children are active thinkers. He recognized that the mind develops through a series of irreversible stages. He also acknowledged that a child's maturing brain builds schemas that are constantly assimilating and accommodating to the world around them. Piaget's theory of cognitive development is split into four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. The sensorimotor stage occurs from birth to nearly two years of age. At this stage, infants learn about the world around them by sensing it and interacting within it. It is also in this stage that the idea of object permanence develops, that is, the awareness that things continue to exist even when they are not being observed. In my personal life, I am certain that in this stage of development I would have enjoyed peek–a–boo, because if I didn't see it, to my developing mind, it wasn't there at all. The second stage, preoperational, lasts from two years of age to seven years of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
