Introduction

Note: Child development occurs in a specific sequence. Therefore, the assessments in this course are presented in sequence and must be completed in order.

Adolescence is a time of transition and change. Recognition of this period as a distinct and significant life phase was first reported by Hall (1904), who referred to this period as “storm and stress,” illustrating his view of adolescence as a turbulent time. Although researchers no longer agree with Hall’s view, his major contribution was to draw interest to the field.

Responding to Important Adolescent Development Issues [DOCX] further summarizes key issues during this period of development, including the onset of puberty, health and nutrition, abstract thinking, parents and peer relationships and current and future goal setting.

Overview

Note: Child development occurs in a specific sequence. Therefore, the assessments in this course are presented in sequence and must be completed in order.

From the perspective of a professional who has knowledge and expertise in child development, you have been invited to address an audience that includes parents as well as other professionals on a specific issue.

Preparation

View this media piece and select a scenario to complete the assessment:

Adolescent Topics Scenarios. 

Select one topic under early childhood, middle childhood, or adolescence as the focus of your paper and written presentation. You may use the suggested textbook or other secondary literature to view various issues linked to biology and the environment, health, education, and cultural influences. Start exploring the material that is relevant to your selected issue and then expand your research to include current secondary literature.

Instructions

Your assessment is divided into two parts:

Part 1

Develop a 5–7 page paper on the selected topic supporting ideas with current research from the scholarly literature that fully explores the topic. The paper will provide the basis for you to explain the impact of the issue facing the child you selected from the Adolescent Topics Scenarios media piece. The paper should have APA structure, formatting, and referencing.

• Part 2

Prepare a 2-page presentation for the intended audience based on the research you conducted on the topic. Write out the presentation on two double-spaced pages. This does not need APA in-text referencing, but you can refer to important scholarly sources that support your ideas. Remember to consider the level of understanding the audience may have on the topic so that you avoid jargon or provide clarification. This presentation needs to have objective support, but, as a presentation, it can be in more informal first-person language.
