Educational Psychology and Human Development of Children and Adolescents-D167 A1. The elementary school video I watched was called Practicing Presentation and Audience Skills Through Science Presentations and was case number 9. It was a kindergarten class with students ages five to seven years old. There were twenty students in the class. Ten students were boys and the other ten were girls. Three students were Hispanic origin with speaking English as their second language. One student gets Title 1 reading services five days a week for thirty-minute intervals. Another student has autism and receives primary services for thirty minutes a day daily, as well as occupational therapy for thirty minutes once a week. Her three English learning students receive services daily for thirty minutes a day, while two other students receive speech services three times a week for thirty minutes. One child has a heart abnormality and qualifies for a 504 plan which allows him to get drinks often, miss class for doctor appointments, and he gets to choose whether or not to participate in physical activities. He needs no special instruction towards learning. A2. The children in this video were in the preoperational stage of cognitive development. This stage happens between the ages of two and seven and children start to learn symbolically, or through different designs and patterns. They enjoy pretend play in this stage and learn a lot about the world through doing so. They still have a hard time understanding reasoning and logic at this stage. One example from the video showing something that the children understood symbolically was the way the teacher used the thumbs up signs as a way of meaning “good job” when the students raised the signs up to let the teacher and speaking student know if they did well with their presentation
