The purpose of this assignment is to further your understanding of growth mindset in middle childhood development or the impact of social media and technology.

Instructions

Use the Academic Project Rubric to guide your project. You have the choice to produce a slide deck (PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) or to create a multi-page infographic or educational brochure on an application like Canva. Make sure that the file you upload to the assignment submission folder is either a PowerPoint or a PDF file. Other file types will not be graded due to being inaccessible with the assignment submission tool.

Your slide deck, brochure, or infographic may use bullet points and illustrations to organize and convey information. Slide decks should be approximately ten slides total, plus a slide for references.

Here is the format your document should follow:

Introduction

On your first slide (or first section of your brochure or infographic), describe the difference between a growth and a fixed mindset.

Middle Childhood

On your next slide or section, identify some of the foundational aspects of middle childhood using the course text and supplemental course readings. What are some key developmental tasks of middle childhood?

Then, choose Option A or Option B to complete the rest of your slides.

Option A: Personal Reflection on Growth and Fixed Mindset

Through decades of research, Dr. Carol Dweck, a Stanford University Psychologist, found that peoples’ beliefs about their intelligence differ.

Some believe their intelligence and abilities are unchanged. In other words, you have a certain amount of intelligence and you can’t do much to change it. This is called a “fixed mindset.” Think about the phrase, “I’m not a math person.” This statement indicates a fixed mindset about math because it attributes math ability to an unchangeable quality. There’s scientific evidence to suggest that neural connections grow and become stronger the more you struggle with learning and correcting your mistakes. Watch the following videos:

The Growth Mindset – Khan Academy

TED Talk: C. Dweck – The Power of Believing that You Can Improve

On your next slides, reflect upon these questions:

Self-efficacy is extremely important during this developmental stage of beginning and middle childhood.  How does developing a fixed vs. growth mindset affect self-efficacy in beginning and middle childhood? How does developing a fixed mindset in childhood impact development in beginning and middle childhood?
Apply what you know about fixed and growth mindset to a reflection and analysis of your personal experiences. Reflect upon some of these questions:
During your life, when have you had a fixed mindset about your intelligence or abilities? Use personal examples to explain or illustrate. During your life, when have you had a growth mindset about your intelligence or abilities? Use personal examples to explain or illustrate. How might the way a parent praises their child for “doing a good job” affect our overall ability to be successful? How did your family influence your mindset during this time of development?
Option B: Growing Up with Gadgets

For this option, watch the documentary, Growing Up with Gadgets, in its entirety. Then choose some of these questions to answer in your remaining slides:

How might technology, including social media, impact the social development of children?
What might this impact look like in some of the various theories we have studied so far?
What are the potential positive and negative developmental consequences of this type of technology for the various theories we have studied so far?
Discuss the implications of online bullying, including how this specific form of bullying impacts middle childhood development in ways not known to previous generations. What can we do as a society to prevent online bullying?
Conclusion (for both Options)

Based on your readings and your personal experience, share the following on your final slide: What did you like/dislike about the information in the video(s) that you watched? Do you feel like it offered some insight on concepts in middle childhood? Remember to provide personal and/or scholarly examples as evidence for your answers.

Suggested Topics

1. In order to explain the numerous facts about language development, linguists have tried to formulate a theory that applies to all natural languages. These principles, which are known as linguistic universals, offer insights into how children acquire language and also answer questions such as why language is universal, why it is mastered so rapidly, and why there are only loose or incomplete connections between linguistic knowledge and experience. These features of language development follow from a single premise—that they are part of a biological blueprint for language development. Discuss this concept, as well as related theories of language acquisition, and describe the place of human interaction in language acquisition.

2. Semantic analysis looks at the conventional meaning of words and word combinations as well as how the structure of a sentence contributes to meaning. This is a technical approach to meaning. However, what is meant comes not only from the use of particular words or word combinations but also from the speaker’s culture, the context in which the statement is made, and the speaker’s intent. How can we grasp the meaning of a statement, and what do we have to take into consideration? What does a statement tell us about the speaker, and what allows us to know a speaker’s intent? Discuss the place of semantics and pragmatics in the study of language.

3. Roughly five to six thousand languages are spoken in the world today. However, a hundred years from now, those numbers will almost certainly fall to a thousand or even fewer. Describe, in detail, some of the forces that are reducing linguistic diversity. Discuss what is lost when a language disappears, and describe some efforts at language revitalization.

4. Describe the process of language acquisition in hearing children and deaf children. Do Hockett’s universal features of language include the languages of the deaf? If not, propose changes to the design features. Does Chomsky’s idea of a Universal Grammar exclude the deaf?

In her essay, “Many Varieties of Beautiful Inheritance,” Historian Ruth Schwartz Cowan describes the various forms of eugenics that became popular throughout the world in the first few decades of the twentieth century.

Please answer the following question in essay form: How did eugenics borrow on the evolving sciences of heredity to become a popular movement among the educated classes in the United States and other countries, and why did eugenics take the form that it did in different countries?

Eugenics took many forms in the first half of the twentieth century. In your response, you should therefore compare how eugenics was embraced in at least two countries (or parts of the world).

Write a critical reflection in essay form. Choose one of the topics below. Regard these topics as prompts to help you begin a critical assessment of the popular culture around you, rather than as strict limitations. Draw on your enthusiasm for works you have an interest in, and use this energy to drive your critical perspective.

1. Write an analysis of a work of popular culture (inside or outside of this course) that holds particular interest for you. Use one of the critical paradigms outlined in Units 1 to 3 as a tool or method for understanding the popular product. You may apply the theoretical model to the popular work, or you may measure the suitability of the model against the complexities of your chosen popular work. Ideally, the theory and the text will work together so that you discover something new about both, rather than simply using one to understand the other; however, the latter approach is acceptable.
As a creative option, you might wish to consider how a theorist you have read about would regard a particular work of popular culture. For example, how would Karl Marx watch “The Simpsons”? In what ways would Steven Lukes understand “Mad Men”? How might Theodor Adorno listen to a Justin Bieber album?

2. Choose a work of popular culture, such as a compact disc, a pulp novel, a movie, or a television production, and analyze it from three of Raymond Williams’s perspectives on the meaning of the word “culture”: the ideal, the documentary, and the social, based on your understanding of these categories from Unit 2.
Answer such questions as: Which audience does the work play to? Who, if anyone, in the audience does the work validate? Who, if anyone, is the work likely to offend or provoke? Who benefits from attitudes or habits normalized by the work? As a product, how does it reflect the social conditions of its production? How do people consume it? You do not need to answer all of these questions—regard them as prompts to begin your critical argument.
