Week 3 Team - Toy
Evaluation Field Research Presentation
Step 1: In
your Learning Team, read and discuss the Week Three Electronic Reserve
Readings.
As you discuss these articles, pay special attention to the
following topics and issues:
·
Toys that may encourage
violence and aggression
·
Toys that may promote
pro-social behavior
·
Gender differences in
toy selection and preference and/or social encouragement of gender-specific
toys
·
Cultural influences on
toys
Write a
one-paragraph summary of the main findings from these articles, as they relate
to the bulleted topics and issues.
Step 2: Within your Learning
Team, investigate popular toys on the market today. You can use the internet or
visit a toy store to do this research. See if you can find toys that fall into
the four categories above: those that may promote aggression; those that may
promote pro-social behavior; those that seem to encourage or discourage gender
stereotyping; and those that seem to encourage or discourage cultural
differences and/or stereotyping. Identify and investigate a minimum of four
toys; one from each category. Discuss your observations about these four
categories. Use the questions below as guidance for your team’s analysis
of the toys.
·
How do toys influence
behavior, self-concept, and identity?
·
What did you observe
concerning positive and negative gender stereotyping?
·
How has your research
on toys and gender influenced your views on the relative influences of
environment and heredity on gender and identity development in children?
·
From your review of
the literature and your examination of actual toys on the market, do you
believe that some toys may increase the likelihood of aggressive behavior in
children? Under what circumstances might this occur? Explain.
·
How has your research
on toys and aggression influenced your views on the relative influences of
environment and heredity on aggressive behavior in children?
·
Do any of the toys
that you have examined promote stereotypes? Do any discourage
stereotypes? Explain.
·
Do any of the toys reflect
or indicate cultural and ethnic stereotypes? What effect can you see this
having on the development of self-concept and identity?
·
How do toys that
promote pro-social behavior benefit development during childhood?
Create a 12- to
15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation of
your findings including detailed speakers notes. Your presentation should
summarize the four or more toys you investigated and present your findings on
how toys influence development. Conclude your presentation with a
discussion of the following:
·
After evaluating toys,
what would you advise parents concerning how toys can influence the development
of their children? What would you want them to be aware of and why?
·
Have your views about
the relative influences of heredity and environment on human development
changed in any way? For example, are there things you once attributed to
heredity that you now believe to be more strongly influenced by the
environment, or vice versa?
Format your
presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
