Abstract
This paper discusses developmental theory and applies it to a specific case of a student in elementary school with ADHD, hyperactivity disorder. Within the paper the practice of developmental theory is discussed, and then the theory is applied to the pertinent case. In this instance the child will need to be observed for what he is doing, and assessments made to provide him with a treatment plan.
From the Paper
"The concept of developmental theory relies on the examination of an individual's life experiences, as well as the person's emotional and physical growth within their society. While there may be standard expectations of growth within certain age groups, there are also elements of growth that can only be determined within each individual (Maier, 1994, p. 58). This is evident when it is considered that each person has varying experiences within life, and that these experiences have a direct affect on the development of every individual. Within the realm of developmental theory a child can be evaluated in several areas. These may include life transitions, personal values, attachments to others, personal interactions, and "trials and errors" (Maier, 1994 p. 59)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the early 1970s, Lawrence Kohlberg started to work on his theory of moral development, which was an extension of Jean Piaget's cognitive-developmental theory. The author points out that Kohlberg believes that people progress in their moral reasoning through stages and that moral development occurs through social interaction. The paper relates that, in the field of counseling, these theories help counselors to understand the way a client presents his or her problems and later to situate the client within the developmental and moral stages where they belong in order to create the best interventions to help the client. The paper then analyzes the importance for a counselor to know Kohlberg's theory in order to understand the way in which clients will present their problems.
From the Paper
"Kohlberg's theory is becoming more popular because people are searching for a way to deal with today's society. Society is in moral crisis. The violence in schools is escalating, more children are bulling classmates, and many of these classmates are growing up traumatized and abused, teen pregnancy is on the raise, younger girls are getting pregnant, teen suicide is moving into rural areas not just busy urban areas, gangs are taking over neighborhoods, sexual, drug and alcohol abuse are increasing and more social problems are covering the first pages of each newspaper in the world."

Abstract
This paper describes Piaget's Theory of Childhood Development, Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development, Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory. The author points out that critics assert that many of the classic developmental theories do not adequately address social context; thereupon, Uric Bronfenbrenner developed an ecological theory, which includes social context, such as family, school, society and culture. The paper relates that, based on these theories, researchers developed a new programming environment called Electronic Blocks, specifically designed for children three to eight years old, to introduce meaningful technology education in an early childhood setting
Table of Contents
Introduction
Piaget's Theory of Childhood Development
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development
Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory
Implications for Classroom Instruction
From the Paper
"Piaget's theory was developed by Jean Piaget to explain childhood development. According to this theory, moral sense arises from interactions between developing cognitive structures and expanding social experiences. Piaget outlined four stages of cognitive development (Jean Piaget's stage theory). The first stage, the Sensorimotor stage, occurs from birth to two years of age and involves the child's use of their senses and reflexes to form knowledge. There are six sub-stages in the Sensorimotor stage. The first stage from birth to six weeks emphasizes the development of basic reflexes while the second stage from six weeks to four months deals with the development of circular reactions as the infant modifies their reflexes in response to the environment."

Abstract
This paper explains that Erik Erikson's theory explains how the sense of self that develops in the course of life both relates and sets apart an individual from his or her social environment. The paper then looks at each of the eight stages of development as theorized by Erikson. Erikson?s eight stages are: Infancy (Age 0-1); Toddler (Age 1-2); Early Childhood (Age 2-6); Elementary and Middle School Years (Age 6-12); Adolescence (Age 12-18); Young Adulthood (Age 19-40); Middle Adulthood (Age 40-65); and Late Adulthood (Age 65 to Death).
From the Paper
"The next stage or crisis that an individual must navigate occurs during the toddler years. In this phase, psychosocial development depends on the successful resolution of autonomy versus doubt or shame, which results due to dramatic changes in physical and language abilities. The natural development of early motor and cognitive skills leads to toddlers experimenting with decreasing their dependence on parents and other adult caregivers. The toddler?s desire for more autonomy leads to ?an extensive negotiation process between the young child and the caregiver, the one demanding to ?do it self mommy? and the other feeling the need to protect the child from harm.? When parents are able to allow the toddler to develop growing competence, self-confidence emerges."

Developmental Psychology, 2008.

Abstract
The paper explains how Kathleen Stassen Berger, in her book "The Developing Person Through the Life Span", considers how each stage leads to the next and how biological and sociological causes affect the psychological development of any individual. The writer considers events from her own life in light of Berger's theories in order to determine the ways in which her own personal development has been a result of a string of causes and effects throughout the stages of her life. The writer looks at her infancy and preschool years, school years and adolescence and finally, adulthood.
From the Paper
"In her book "The Developing Person Through the Life Span," Kathleen Stassen Berger outlines the stages of growth from infancy to adulthood and discusses the psychological impacts of each stage. She shows how each stage leads to the next and considers how both biological and sociological effect the psychological development of any individual. Using a concept called the "butterfly effect", she shows how small and seemingly unimportant developments in any single stage can compound through successive stages to result in specific types of personality development. (The "butterfly effect" is borrowed from the concept in environmental science in which it is said that when a butterfly beats its wings in one part of the world, a storm can occur in another part of world. The interconnectedness of events is the key concept here.)"

The Author's Theory and Teaching Practices
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The theory of Bandura most closely fits this author's approach as the classroom is cleared of distractions. This will help the student pay attention. Any unnecessary noise is eliminated and the windows are covered with artwork to allow light in but not distract students to watch outside. The students are taught the lessons using various imagery and other elements to help students retain what they have learned.
They are motivated to learn and retain the information by the reward and incentive system set up. Those who do well on the lessons and the tests are provided choices of extra computer time, ice cream passes for the lunch room or homework passes to be able to skip a day of homework. Motivation occurs not only by winning such incentives but the students see their peers attain them and are motivated to try doing so too."

Abstract
This paper examines theories of delinquency, including social and developmental theories. The paper includes social learning, social control, strain, latent traits and integrated developmental theories. The paper discusses key social agents.
From the Paper
"Social learning is based on the presumption that people learn how to behave from the groups they grow up with. Social learning, therefore, means that a child or youth who spends most of their time with others who engage in criminal behavior such as other kids who shoplift or perhaps older youths or adults who break into houses and steal things, would be more likely to shoplift and break into houses than the average child. Deviant behavior, just like conforming behavior, is a product of socialization."

Abstract
This paper examines how psychoanalytic theory has had one of the most influential impacts on personality theory and development. It looks at how Freud, Erikson and Horney have uniquely contributed to the stimulation of new ideas regarding the human psyche and its development from infancy to adulthood to death.
Outline:
Introduction
Freud: Psychoanalytic Theory
Erikson and Development
Horney and Development
From the Paper
"It is of historical interest that although Freud spent nearly his entire life formulating, reformulating and developing his theories into one cohesive framework, the fundamental concepts behind psychoanalytic theory remained unrefined. It would be up to his followers to branch out from his theories, taking with them an important classical psychoanalytic construct that would later become a "neo-Freudian" theory independent of its classical roots. Although they shared the common notion that his view on sexuality was overemphasized, they retained the structural model of the psyche (particularly the ego) and, with regard to development, the different stages with corresponding tasks or conflicts that must be resolved for normal development.

Abstract
This paper begins with an overview of some of the major ideas of human development. The overview includes a discussion of Eric Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, and Jean Piaget's four major stages of cognitive development. The paper suggests that teachers who understand these theories have a better chance of applying them in the classroom and boosting their students? self-esteem. Finally, a soft and relaxing classroom environment, emotionally responsive teachers, effective discipline strategies and multi-cultural classrooms are discussed as ways of putting the development theories into practice.
From the Paper
"They also want to do many things that adults do and in the process, and if they overstep their bounds a little, they might feel a little guilty. One example of this is when a 3 year old wanted to make breakfast for her parents one Sunday morning. She got out all of the condiments, milk, and eggs from the refrigerator, and set them on the floor. She was about to start ?cooking? when her mom got up. The child was in trouble, because she tried to do ?adult? things, but was developmentally unable to complete her ?mission?. Her parents were worried about her safety, but she didn?t see it that way and felt bad about what happened."

Abstract
This paper focuses on an explanation of DSCR, its place in Orem?s theory of ?Self-Care Deficit?, and its application in nursing practice. It begins by discussing the stages of development of the theory and then looks at the factors involved in determining whether a patient requires nursing care. The writer then discusses how DSCR can be applied and its goals in the nursing field.
From the Paper
"Developmental Self Care Requisite (DSCR) is an important part of Dorothea Orem?s ?Self- Care Deficit Theory of Nursing??the most notable of her nursing theories?having been adopted by a number of nursing schools across the United States as the organizing framework for their nursing curriculum. According to Orem, Developmental Self Care Requisite (DSCR) is one of three types of requisites that are used for assessing a patient?s ability to take care of him or herself, the others being the Universal Self-Care Requisites (USCR) and the Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites (HDSCR). The ?Developmental Self Care Requisites? are defined as the needs of people required for taking care of themselves (?Self Care,? in nursing parlance) at different stages of their lives. These requisites or needs could arise from either ?maturational? changes in the life cycle, such as pregnancy, childhood, and aging; or from situational events that occur throughout human development, such as grief and loss (death of a close relative), relocation, disability or other traumatic changes such as the onset of terminal illness. (Orem, 1995)"
