Problem: Imagine you provide podcasts to professionals who work with adolescents. You are going to develop a podcast that will provide information on how to apply theory to working with this age group. This podcast must be conversational, not a scripted essay read aloud. Need Assignment Help?
Required Structure:
Segment 1: Theory Overview (Brief - 2 - 3 minutes)Introduce at least three major theories, such as:
Piaget (Cognitive Development)
Erikson (Psychosocial Development)
Vygotsky (Sociocultural Theory)
Bronfenbrenner (Ecological Systems Theory)
Bowlby/Ainsworth (Attachment Theory)
Kohlberg (Moral Development)
Bandura (Social Learning Theory)
Information Processing Theory
Briefly explain:
Core assumptions
Key concepts
Developmental focus
Segment 2: Applied Case Analysis (Core Section - 4 - 5 minutes)Then you will apply the theories to a hypothetical client. You can identify the demographic and issue or choose from one of the following:
A 5-year-old struggling with peer relationships
A 13-year-old experiencing identity confusion
A 7-year-old exposed to chronic stress
A 16-year-old engaging in risky behavior
A culturally diverse classroom environment
A child raised primarily in digital environments
For each theory:
How would this theorist explain the behavior?
What would they identify as the cause?
What developmental stage is relevant?
What intervention would they recommend?
Segment 3: Critical Comparison (2 minutes)
Analyze:
Which theory best explains this case and why?
Which theory seems limited or outdated?
