Case Study Instructions

Your task is to draw upon well-established human development/learning theories and concepts from the course in order to design effective instructional methods and strategies for Alejandro. Support your choice of instructional methods and strategies by citing specific teaching methods and discussing ways to improve upon these instructional strategies. The strength of your case study analysis rests in the ability to clearly discuss relevant human development/learning theories and to design effective instructional strategies to support Alejandro’s learning and development that draw upon multiple development/learning theories and concepts. References to the text book are critical to a successful case study analysis. Case study should be double spaced, standard 12 point Times New Roman font, 1” margins, 8 full pages in length minimum.

Objective: The objectives of the case study assignment are two-fold: (1) to apply human development/ learning theories and concepts to an individual student, and (2) to design effective teaching strategies to support the student’s development and learning.

Overview: This case study has three components: (1) description of areas of development and learning theories, (2) analysis of instructional methods and strategies, and (3) quality of writing.

Description of areas of development and learning theories (45%): Clearly identify and discuss key aspects of well-established human development theories and concepts (e.g., mental, social, moral, intellectual, and cultural aspects of development) and learning theories and concepts (e.g., cognitive, behavioral, social cognitive, emotional, and motivational models of learning) and how they apply to the student. Discuss the student’s individual learning needs, developmental levels, and other applicable differences in his/her learning and development, based on well-established human development and learning theories and concepts from EDU 316.

Synthesis across areas of development: Does the author examine 2-3 aspects of development and look across the different aspects to see how they influence one another and to understand the whole child?

Synthesis across learning theories: Does the author examine 2-3 learning theories and look across different learning theories to see how the student learns best?

Analysis of instructional methods and strategies (45%): Drawing upon your discussion of selected human development and learning theories and concepts, provide an analysis of at least three sound instructional methods and strategies that a teacher could use in order to effectively support the learning and development of the student. Provide a rationale for your instructional methods and strategies by citing specific teaching techniques and discuss ways in which teachers can continue to improve upon these methods and strategies in the classroom in terms of professional development. Use literature in Educational Psychology: Does the author use the literature on Educational Psychology from EDU 316 to interpret his or her findings and to draw well-grounded conclusions? Does the author discuss the conclusions in relation to the age of the student? How are these conclusions age-appropriate? Use of peer-reviewed research: Does the author employ 3 peer-reviewed sources beyond the textbook? Does the author use these sources to further develop their thoughts in addition to what is found in the textbook? Quality of Writing (10%): Presentation of information: Does the author present information in a careful, thorough, and nonjudgmental fashion, and supply evidence for all assertions or conclusions?

Writing style: Is the paper well-organized and well-written? Proper use of conventions and citations: Is the paper written in accordance with APA style guidelines?
