I've done the first part of the assignment (400 words). Just need the rest to be done.
Assessment task one- Individual assessment Case study of fostering positive interactions in children and adolescents Due date and Estimated return date: See Unit Guide Assessment task link to unit learning outcomes: This assessment task links to aspects of the following three (out of five) outcomes for this unit: • Understand both childhood and adolescence as periods of diverse individual development, behaviours and relationships in society (Learning Outcome (LO) 1); • Examine the likely impact of factors such as culture, family, genetic inheritance, environment and life experiences on children and adolescents (LO 3); and • Analyse a range of learning theories, contemporary theoretical perspectives and practical approaches to fostering positive interactions (LO 4). Australian Professional Standards for Teachers: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 For further APST information, please refer to: https://sites.google.com/monash.edu/student-resource-bank/apst Details of task: Growing Up in Australia, the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) (http://www.growingupinaustralia.gov.au/), is the largest and most ambitious study ever carried out on children (10,000 of them!) in this country. Previous Australian studies have shown snapshots of a child's life or looked longitudinally at particular aspects such as health. But to really find out what it takes for children to be well adjusted and resilient it is important to follow their lives over time. Therefore, it is also essential to take into account all aspects of the child's development, behaviours and interactions, as well as the environment in which this occurs. The LSAC study looks at the whole world of the child: mental and physical health and development, cognitive ability and learning, social and emotional wellbeing as well as the characteristics of their home and family, childcare and school, and neighbourhood environment. Accompanying this study is a number of documentaries, known as the Life Series which focus on eleven children participating in the LSAC and aim to unlock the secrets of child development by following this group of children from their first year of life. It examines how children grow and develop in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances, including the impact of family relationships, finances, work, health and education. It considers the interplay of nature and nurture, conducts experiments, and speaks to experts about how the latest science on child development may be playing out in these families. To date, eight documentaries (two for each of Life at 1, Life at 3, Life at 5 and Life at 7 - http://www.abc.net.au/tv/life/about_the_series/life_at_7. htm) interweave stories of the eleven families with the latest scientific findings on child development, examining: personality, stress, childhood obesity, behaviour, resilience, school readiness, temperament, and peers. • The 'Life at 7' series video can be accessed through the Library via the link provided in the INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ACCESS ‘Life at 7’. This is a separate document in resource folder. https://sites.google.com/monash.edu/student-resource-bank/apst http://www.growingupinaustralia.gov.au/ http://www.abc.net.au/tv/life/about_the_series/life_at_7.htm http://www.abc.net.au/tv/life/about_the_series/life_at_7.htm Your task is to watch the two Life at 7 documentaries (instructions about access will be provided on Moodle) and choose ONE child to focus on as a case study. Through the lens of fostering positive child and adolescent behaviours and development, you will critically analyse your chosen case study with a particular focus on the implications of what you notice for learning and teaching. To do this you will need to draw on the weekly lecture and workshop material. Your response should be made up of the following three sections. Part A: Case Study (400 words) In this section, you should: • Watch the Life at 7 documentaries and choose ONE child to focus on • Develop a case study that tells the story of your chosen child drawing on different aspects of their behaviours, development and relationships using what has been covered in this unit as a guide. Part B: Analytical Discussion (800 words) In this section, you should: • Identify TWO factors (e.g, culture, family, genetic inheritance and life experiences) that seem to be impacting on your chosen child; and • Critically discuss the impact of these TWO factors on the child’s development currently as well as the possible influence on their behaviours, development and relationships into the future; • You will need to draw upon THREE relevant peer-reviewed articles to assist in making sense of and analysing the possible impacts of these factors. • IMPORTANT -Use a theoretical framework for your analysis: you will need to refer to a particular theory or theories covered in the lectures and workshops as a way of interpreting what is happening in your case study. Part C: Implications for teachers and teaching (800 words) In this section, you should: • Identify FOUR implications emerging from your case study (Part A) and analytical discussion (Part B) for learning and teaching; and • Recommend one strategy for each implication (FOUR in total) that could be adopted by a teacher, parent, carer or other professional and implemented in, or out of the classroom, to enhance and enrich the learning of the child your chosen for your case study. These recommended strategies should be linked to supporting literature to further show why these approaches might be effective ways to support learning. Word count/equivalent: 2000 words (+/- 10%) Weighting/Value: 50% Presentation requirements: • Your case study should be presented as a structured essay with sub-headings, • Include a title page with a title that reflects which Child’s Story you have chosen for the Case Study; the task, your name, Tutor’s name and word count. • You need to write in a scholarly manner, • Ensure that you have utilised APA (6th edition) style for in text citations and the reference list included at the end of your case study. Also ensure headings and subheads follow APA formatting.

[email protected] Case Study Analysis A case study analysis is not merely a descriptive but, as the term itself suggests, a critical exercise, typically an examination of a situation or institution with view towards making recommendations. Case study analyses are included in many courses to give students a sense of the constraints involved in decision making. Cases are usually based on real situations, although for the sake of confidentiality the names of persons and institutions may be disguised. Analysis Method Many methods can be used to analyze case studies. The outline below, although it provides a step-by-step procedure that can be applied in many situations, is not the only feasible approach. Always consult your instructor for the particular requirements of a given assignment. 1. Read the case study attentively at least two or three times. Become familiar with the key points of the situation without adopting a position on the case. Read as carefully and objectively as you can. 2. After becoming thoroughly familiar with the case, make notes regarding the main issues as you see them. Typically, the instructor will provide prompts or questions to help you focus on these. 3. Consider the question(s) assigned by your instructor. Record all information perti- nent to these in the form of case notes. 4. Decide which principles, theories, or models (usually part of the assignment) best apply to the observed facts of the case to prepare your answers. Remember that your analysis is likely to be founded on a specific theory, and avoid solutions based mainly upon personal intuition. 5. Develop your solution in consideration of the principles, theories, or models that you have selected. The assigned questions may require you to consider alternative solutions. Remember the importance of showing not merely your judgement but the basis for it. Occasionally, case studies are assigned for analysis without specific questions. The student must then devise a framework that will enable the analytical and/or synthetic treatment of strategic issues. One general approach is as follows: 1. Follow steps one and two (above). 2. Identify the key problems and their root causes. 3. Develop solutions to the identified problems. Wherever possible, specify objective or quantitative criteria to assess the solutions (qualitative indicators of success may be too subjective).

Follow steps four and five above to identify and apply theoretical concepts. A list of alternative solutions should emerge from this stage. 5. The final selection of a solution from alternatives is based upon how well it meets the criteria you have established. In most cases you will select an optimal ap- proach and provide a realistic assessment of your solution’s strengths and weak- nesses. 6. Present the chosen solution(s) in detail. 7. Use an appropriate format for your case study analysis. Use suitable headings and subheadings. Do not forget the value of graphics; a chart or table can present in- formation more effectively than unsupported text. Tricks and Traps Most comprehensive case studies contain some information that is of marginal importance to the main issues—or at least, to the issues you are directed to examine. Remember to consider the implications of your theoretical framework(s): unacknowledged assumptions can limit your thinking and your critique of alternative solutions. When you begin to prepare your “recommendations” section, stop and review the assignment yet again; many case study analyses fail to address the issues identified by the instructor. Sample Format 1.
