• Grades K-3 for three hours.
• Grades 4- 5 for three hours.
• Grades 6-8/High School for three hours.

Upon the conclusion of these observations, compare these students in terms of their cognitive development, psychosocial development and moral development. I suggest the following format for these observations:

Complete a summary statement that describes their findings.

• Piaget’s stages of cognitive development.
• Vygotsky’s stages of cognitive development.
• Erikson’s stages psychosocial development.
• Kohlberg’s stages moral development.

This can be accomplished by observing and interacting with this focus student for a predetermined amount of time. During these interactions, have the focus child complete simple activities (e.g., conservation activity described in the chapter, self-regulation activities where the focus child completes an assignment, observe focus child interacting with other children to determine the Erikson stage they are currently at, and the use of moral dilemmas to identify the moral stage they have achieved).

Summarize your findings and provide reasons for your conclusions. Then present your findings during class using a pre-determined schedule.
