To start, youll want to describe the child in terms of:
Name, age, background information, and other general details,
Identity development (both past and current issues related to Eriksons theory of identity development and Marcias theory),
Cognitive development (both past and current issues related to Piagets theory of cognitive development),
Attachment type (based on Ainsworths theory of attachment),
And moral development (based on Kohlbergs theory)
After describing the above details, you need to test the child (or pretend to test the child if youre using a fictional child) on a Piaget-related age appropriate struggle that theyre currently going through (e.g. object permanence). You need to describe their performance on this test, using terms from Piagets work to describe your findings and experimentation. You must also propose a few ways that you might be able to help the child master this challengeor another cognitive challenge that they might be focused onby building off of the theories and terminology of Lev Vygotsky.
In the end, you will earn points for providing the following information:
Your description of the child that youre testing, with each section being between 1 to 3 paragraphs long
Your description of your experiment on the child, the childs performance, what this indicates about his/her cognitive development, and how you might be able to help this child better understand the cognitive concept more effectively
Proper grammar, creativity, and depth of coverage in the paper
