Erik Erikson / Implications For Infant And Toddler Care-Givers
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper discusses Erikson's theories regarding psycho-social development and play. Like many personality theorists, Erikson believed that the child must progress through these stages in order to develop a healthy personality. Failure to resolve the inherent conflicts in any stage leads to emotional and personality problems at a later time. Play, being the infant and toddler's primary activity is also critical to the development of the individual's personality. Different kinds of play are explained. Finally, the implications of these theories for care-givers (or parents) are discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Extracurricular Activity's Link to Academic Performance
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page
research proposal for conducting a study into the relative value of extracurricular programs
in public schools. In these days of ever-tightening budgets and ongoing criticism of the
academic records of public schools, the tendency to cut funding for extracurricular activities
is stronger than ever. Traditionally, this has been the area of public school funding that has
been first in the line of targets for reducing. The argument is that US students perform far
below those of other developed nations, and that US schools need to put more emphasis on
academics than on associated activities. Other studies find positive correlation between
participation in extracurricular activities and increased academic performance, and this one
seeks to determine whether such a link truly does exist. Includes one chart. Bibliography
lists 14 sources.
