What will be done with my students

During the Advanced Placement Psychology developmental unit, students will engage in a hands-on project utilizing babydolls to explore key concepts in child development and attachment theory. This project will consist of several components:

Role-Playing Scenarios: Students will work in small groups to create role-playing scenarios that simulate various caregiving situations, such as feeding, comforting, and playing with the babydolls. This hands-on experience will allow them to observe and practice the different parenting styles and their impact on child development.

Developmental Milestones: Each group will research specific developmental milestones and theories, such as those proposed by Piaget, Erikson, and Bowlby. Students will then design activities that reflect these milestones, demonstrating how they can be observed in real-life caregiving.

Observation and Reflection: After engaging with the babydolls, students will reflect on their experiences through guided discussions and written reflections. They will analyze how their interactions with the dolls relate to psychological theories and the importance of attachment in early development.

Presentations: Each group will present their findings and experiences to the class, highlighting the developmental concepts they explored and how their role-playing scenarios illustrated those concepts. This will encourage peer learning and foster a deeper understanding of the material.

Empathy Development: Throughout the project, students will engage in discussions about empathy and the emotional aspects of caregiving, emphasizing the psychological and social implications of their experiences.

By integrating babydolls into the developmental unit, students will gain practical insights into child psychology, enhance their observational skills, and develop a greater appreciation for the complexities of human development. This experiential learning approach will make psychological theories more relatable and impactful.
