Part Two: Professional Development presentation Prepare an annotated transcript for a Professional Development presentation that critically examines the biological, psychological and socioecological factors that may influence the development and learning of either infants, toddlers or young children and consider the holistic nature of child development. LOs: 1, 2, 3 (Words 1000) Choose a specific age group and clearly state this in your introduction i.e. infants or toddlers or young children. • Choose one biological factor, one psychological factor and one socioecological factor that influences the development and learning of your selected age group (section three of your course guide identifies the factors). • Explain each factor and critically examine how it impacts a range of developmental domains (physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language and spiritual) for the age group. All six domains of development need to be covered across the three factors however you do not need to cover all six for each factor. • Underpin the learning and development for your selected developmental domains for each factor from theoretical perspectives discussed throughout section two of your course guide as well as in Te Whāriki (Ministry of Education, 2017). • Ensure that your discussion demonstrates how influential factors and domains are interrelated to reflect an understanding of holistic child development. Review Section Three of the Course Guide for examples of influential factors. Presentation tip: An annotated presentation means that your ideas are supported by references to required readings, key ECE texts and additional literature. The intended audience for your presentation are your fellow kaiako so your language and tone should be professional and knowledgeable. You should introduce the topic of your presentation and summarise key points when concluding.
