Heading: Part 1Candidate: Disan Buteera/E300561X/TMA01Question: Exploring your motivations for study and demonstrating understanding of module content (750 words). 80% of TMA 01 mark.Describe your own particular interest(s) in Children and Childhoods that motivated you to study this module. Your interest(s) might be Professional, personal or general.ProfessionalOnce Piaget (1896 – 1980) summarised his work basing on Childhood cognition. His discoveries were; Children understand better, learn and explore using their own instincts / knowledge but requires to be developed. When I was younger I used to like reading, holding a pen as if I was writing. (Website Project Family – Buteera, 2016). I would like to gain the content of this module in addition to the tested knowledge of Piaget. It is a compulsory module in Youth Justice discipline.In Youth Justice discipline, we are eager to know the backgrounds of our clients following the asset tool. The complexity of human genes and the environment tends to expose anti-social behaviours in a young Child. That is associated with the history of parental offending. This module in reflection on page 68 lines 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Roth and Finley (1998) and Caspi and Colleagues (2002) gives us the understanding of those chapters in exploration. I am seeking to understand those better.Understanding Children and Childhood makes us create suitable citizens for the future having known the bases of Child development and Institutions such as United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), Save the Child, Schools, Youth Court Justice, Clinical Child and Psychology centres. It is important to make sure all Young people’s skills such as motor and cognitive develop effectively.PersonalFrom a recent online tutorial with Tutor Lona (2018), we embedded on the followingIt is important to understand Children and Childhood with a view of supporting them emotionally when that comes into effect.Children and Childhood helps us to encourage Young people reach their full potential such as using their rights, Social interaction and knowing culture while focusing on anthropology, developmental Psychology and Sociology.There is a need to recognise if there is any delay in Child development. That is likely to be physical (immature birth), Cognitive development, emotional and Social development. Are Child Practitioners work in making and uplifting those into developments.GeneralThere is a need to know when to help and when to allow to try activities alone to promote independence. The age of criminal responsibility in England is 10 years. At that, young people are able to stand trial in a court even without any support. This module, it has offered understanding that at some point: It is but is 10 years really enough? I have explored the tribal Child, Social child and the developing Child (Kellet 2010). The Child as a Social actor whose point is being the centre of focus while with full potential of practicing on his or her own in terms of reasoning, interacting and self - defence. This module offers understanding.

Making sense on the different perspectives on Childhood, In E102 Introduction on Childhood studies and Child Psychology (online) available at (450 words)For the interests you described in (a) above, which perspectives on Childhood and Children presented in Block 1 connect with these interest, and how do they connect?In reference to the tested knowledge of Piaget (1896 -1980) in Childhood Psychology cognition, Psychology perspective is defending this interest and Universal. There is Child display while walking, writing, crawling and participation via developmental psychologist. My Childhood, love of learning and writing links to Psychological, Children’s autonomy and cultural. Because there is participation in writing and reading. In Youth Justice practice, knowing clients /offenders via the asset tool, is Children’s autonomy perspective. Because finding out what has been happening is important.Offering emotional support to Children. Linking the Psychological perspective, sociological, Childhood, Universal and cultural variations offers a say. Children being social actors via sociology sometimes they become vulnerable hence they become emotionally weak.Furthermore, Children reaching full potential maps with Psychological, Children’s autonomy, universal and cultural conveys participation. In promoting Children’s independence and understanding the age of responsibility in England being 10 is Children’s autonomy. Hence, creating responsible citizens. (150 words)Academic reference; Piaget, J (1896 – 1980) Cognitive Development is primarily Internally driven (ed) in Farrington Flint, L and Montgomery, H. an Introduction to Childhood studies and Child Psychology How might another perspective on Childhood and Children that is presented in Block 1 contribute further to your understanding of Children and Childhoods?This perspective is the clinical Child view. Many aspects of concern have been identified in the interest of viewing, identifying and helping toddlers, infants, Children and adolescents.Such aspects includes assessments, interaction, development of prevention programs such as bullying, addictions, teen pregnancies and obesity. Also, consultations with Professionals working with Children, design and utilising research. In so, problems which requires to be addressed are biological vulnerabilities of toddlers, infants and Children, emotional, significant mental illnesses / disorders, cognitive deficits, trauma and loss as well as health related problems.Still important, the issue of stress and coping with related developmental change. In a closing, that contributes to my understanding of Childhood more closely associates with the works of Piaget Child’s growth and upbringing. As the life of the Child goes up, numerous problems as they have been identified, requires a thought. Hence, Childhood and Children are wide topics with such concerns.

By reflecting back on your completed journals 1 and 2, summarise your skills, learning and development by responding to the following questions.In relation to your learning on E102 so far, what have you learned about yourself regarding your academic study skills and habits? What are your strengths? What areas are in need of improvement?Academic study, habits and strengthFirstly, learning E102 is moving on well because I am fit for it and I have all or most of the abilities, expectations and strength the module requires such as having brilliant work results, excellent academic work and keeping time whilst completing its assignments. I am very strong in understanding what the assignment is about, very outstanding while demonstrating and exercising academic work. The point is about being a successful individual while leaning on such efforts.Then, with habits, I enjoy learning lots of new Information upon the situation. For instance, I am enjoying learning lots of Information from E102 module. I have so far enjoyed the online tutorials, forums and the textbook information. (Farrington Flint, L and Montgomery, H (ed), (2016) I like to take time in exploring every angel when I am studying upon situation. For example, during the time of joining to study in 2015 with K115, I could not think deeply exploring other disciplines. My attention was on Youth Justice exploration.I enjoy discussions with other students. This is greatly sounding like me. For instance, I have been going through a lot with fellow students and my module Tutor Claire via (forums, and tutorials, 2018). I worry that I will struggle to understand what I have read. But it is not sounding like me. Because I have always been performing well; so I am confident with reading and contents. I am enjoying the module.Areas for improvementI do not say much in discussions but I enjoy listening and thinking. But this is depending on the situation. I have been an active listener to my module Tutor and fellow students whilst on (online forums and tutorials, 2018). I am worried about falling behind in my studies upon situation. In defence with that, I have been doing it well and follows the steps as required. I meet all the prequisites a module requires such as Tuition fees where an application was finished and accepted. I am also okay with others like Internet access and received the textbook. However, Student Finance England has not paid yet. Hence, another option can be thought of.(360 words)Academic reference;E102 (2016) ‘An introduction to Childhood Studies and Child Psychology' in Farrington Flint, L F & Montgomery H, (ed) and The Open University (2018) ‘E102-18J Forums’ (online) available at Open University (2018) ‘E102-18J Forums’ (online) available at academic resources or sources of support could you draw upon to address these aspects of your learning that you think you need to improve?To begin with, the issue of Tuition is to be solved whilst contacting the Student welfare services and Student finance England as a matter of urgency whereas with reading / discussions, I am going to keep on using the scanning, skimming and the slow reading strategies to foster learning. (Academic text (2018) Peck, J and Coyle, M (2012) gives out the concepts to draw on while dealing with issues such as engaging in discussions. Points out the issue of applying for a course and job application on pages 19 – 35. Well demonstrations have been sighted out including interviews, writing for University and keeping Professional conduct.In a closing, I am to be using the Skills for OU study, module content, the secrets of effective writing in Peck, J and Coyle, M (2012) and discovering other study approaches to learning /work.(Word count, 140)Academic reference;Week 4, 2.2 approaches to research with Children (2018) Activity 3 reading on Academic text (online) Open University (2018) Skills for OU Study (online) available at Accessed on 21/11/2018Peck, J and Coyle, M (2012) Write it right – The secrets of Effective Writing (2nd ed) Palgrave MacmillanCriterionPass 1 (85-100)Pass 2 (70-80) Pass 3 (55-65)Pass 4 (40-50)Bare Fail (30-35)Fail (0-25)Focus on the taskExcellent focus on the task Very good focus on the task Good focus on the task Sufficientfocus on the task Limited focus on the taskLittle/no focus on the task or no response Understanding of concepts (description, explanation, evaluation as required for task) Excellent understanding demonstrated of E102 concepts Very good understanding demonstrated of E102 concepts Good understanding demonstrated of E102 concepts Sufficient understanding demonstrated of E102 concepts Limited understanding demonstrated of E102 module concepts No use or evident understanding demonstrated of E102 concepts Structure of answers and quality of writing styleExcellent, logical, well-structured points.
