  • Cultural Analysis: Preschool In Three Cultures Revisited

    1677 Words  | 7 Pages

    The current time period is one of unprecedented change; and of almost constant interaction, with each other, and with those of distant lands. Based on enhancements in technology and communication, one would assume that over the generation between the time when the first edition of Preschool in Three Cultures was published and when Preschool in Three Cultures Revisted was published, would show that education officials are closer to understanding what the best practices are for the universal preschool-aged child. Educators, administrators, and policy makers have been exposed to more practices from around the globe than ever before. Being that all three preschools are working with the same age group, with similar developmental needs, one would think that these three nations’ early childhood education systems have grown more alike because best practices for a three year old should look the same in the United States, China, and Japan. Along with that thought, each system has elements of value: shouldn’t “best” parts of each system be combined to create the “perfect

    Throughout the movie I thought that the babies who were more universal were Ponijao who lived in Namiba and Bayarjargal who lived in Mongolia. Even though they weren’t old enough to really handle a job with mathematical concepts though education. Ponijao learns things from his older siblings and mother. In the beginning of the movie the baby was grinding something like his older brother, even though this isn’t a mathematical concept he learned a task that would help later in his life. In Mongolia Bayarjargal is raised around livestock, which I think will teach him great lessons and responsibilities in his life that will benefit towards him and his family.

  • Personal Statement For Addressing International Issues In Child Life

    419 Words  | 2 Pages

    Susan, thank you for addressing international issues in child life! I personally feel that we need to begin to advocate for internationalizing the field of child life on the individual and council level. If you look at other jobs, for example, a physician, there are universally understood careers and roles. Whereas child life is not internationally understood because there are so many different job titles and variations of our role across countries/continents. I have always been fascinated by the ‘child life’ service provision in other countries, which is why I loved this VT and the reserve readings.

The impact of the social environment in the home on early childhood development Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory encompasses the view that values, beliefs, skills and traditions are transmitted from one generation to the next. He, unlike behaviorist theorists, emphasized that family, social interaction, and play are primary influences in a child’s life (Gordon & Browne, 2013). The social environment at home has a profound impact on how children develop.
