Study Notes
Theories of Child Development
- Child development encompasses the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioral capabilities during childhood.
- Understanding child development is crucial for librarians to curate effective library collections, selecting age-appropriate materials that foster healthy growth.
- Librarians must understand developmental milestones to curate collections that support cognitive, emotional, and social growth.
Psychoanalytical vs. Psychosocial Theory
- Psychoanalytical Theory (Freud): Humans have unconscious and irrational drives influencing their behavior.
- Stages:
- Oral (birth-1 year)
- Anal (1-3 years)
- Phallic (3-6 years)
- Latency (6-11 years)
- Genital (adolescence)
- Psychosocial Theory (Erikson): Several stages influence development (crises).
- Stages:
- Trust vs. Mistrust (infancy)
- Autonomy vs. Shame (2-4 years)
- Initiative vs. Guilt (4-6 years)
- Industry vs. Inferiority (6-11 years)
- Identity vs. Confusion (adolescence)
- Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood)
- Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood)
- Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood)
Psychosocial Development
- Psychosocial is a combination of psychology and sociology.
- First Year:
- Social Smile: When a child smiles at a familiar face
- Stranger Wariness: when an infant becomes wary when meeting a stranger
- Separation Anxiety: When a child becomes distressed when a caregiver leaves.
- Second Year: Self-awareness: When a child realizes their individuality separate from others.
Psychoanalytical Theory (Oral and Anal Stages)
- Oral stage occurs during the first year, driven by the mouth for pleasure.
- Anal stage occurs during the second year, focusing on potty training.
Psychosocial Theory (Trust and Autonomy)
- Trust vs. Mistrust: Infants learn to trust people and the world based on their early experiences.
- Autonomy vs. Shame/Doubt: Toddlers want control; a lack of control leads to shame and/or doubt.
Cognitive Theory (Working Model)
- Infants conceptualize and categorize their experiences.
- Social learning theory states that knowledge comes from observing others (Imitation).
Psychosocial Development (Initiative vs. Guilt)
- Self-Esteem: The child assesses their worth, intelligence, and confidence.
- Self-Concept: The child understands their personality and appearance.
- Intrinsic Motivation: Goals and desires deriving from within the individual.
Emotion Regulation
- Externalization: Expressing emotions openly and/or acting aggressively (ex: anger).
- Internalization: Lack of expressing emotions, feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness.
- Empathy: Understanding others' feelings/emotions.
- Antipathy: Inability to feel empathy (against others)
- Antisocial Behavior: Inability to socialize.
- Prosocial Behavior: Positive social interactions.
- Emotional Intelligence: Evaluating and expressing emotions.
Sigmund Freud's Psychosexual Theory
- Freud's theories detail three major components of personality: ID, Ego, and Superego.
- Children pass through stages focusing on pleasure derived from various body parts.
- Impact on library materials means encouraging age-appropriate books and materials that promote emotional regulation.
- Includes oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital stages.
Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development Theory
- Erikson's theory examines the progression of personality throughout the lifespan (from birth to old age), with a focus on psychosocial development.
- Children pass through stages of trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative vs. guilt, industry vs. inferiority, identity vs. role confusion, intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation and integrity vs. despair.
Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory
- Piaget's theory focuses on children's cognitive or mental development.
- Children think differently at different ages, progressing through stages.
- Four Stages of development: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational.
- Impact on library materials involves books for toddlers/preschoolers, elementary children(encouraging logic), and teen books(challenging abstract thinking).
Lev Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory
- Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social interactions and cultural context.
- The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is crucial, representing the difference between what a child can do independently versus with guidance.
- Impact on library materials means choosing books that support interaction and collaboration, and scaffolding learning with hints or further information.
B.F. Skinner's Behaviorism
- Skinner's theory focuses on how behavior is shaped by reinforcement and/or punishment.
- Positive reinforcement through rewards or modeling good behavior is crucial for learning.
- Impact on library materials is positive reinforcement through story rewards/characters, stories promoting positive behaviors such as cooperation, kindness, and honesty, and displaying consequences for both good and bad behavior.
Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory
- Learning occurs through observation and imitation of others.
- Impact on library materials is using characters to reinforce positive behaviors.
- Children learn through observation or social interactions.
John Bowlby's Attachment Theory
- Early attachment relationships significantly influence social and emotional development.
- Impact on library materials includes age-appropriate books providing comfort, security, and promoting attachment for infants and toddlers, and those promoting trust and bonding for older children.
Incorporating Developmental Theories into Library Collections
- Understanding theories helps librarians curate collections aligned with developmental stages.
- Age-appropriate selection is crucial, considering materials matching cognitive and emotional readiness.
- Examples include picture books for younger children, middle-grade books, and teen novels focusing on different developmental themes.
Arnold Gesell's Developmental Theory
- Gesell's theory centers on observed physical development of children and normal sequences of growth.
- Providing age-appropriate development norms for physical development.
Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory
- Kohlberg's theory centers on moral development, exploring stages from preconventional to postconventional levels.
- Children move through stages, progressing in how they determine right from wrong.
- Emphasizes moral reasoning stages for children.
Abraham Maslow's Humanistic Theory
- Maslow's theory explores the hierarchy of needs, with basic survival needs (physiological) at the foundation and progressing to more complex human needs (esteem, self-actualization).
- The theory emphasizes basic needs and how fulfillment relates to motivation.
