EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
1) Early childhood development is crucial for the development of cognitive skills, emotional
abilities (Pellegrini & Galda, 2017). As an early childhood in structure, I want the children to
develop attention skills, communication skills, problem-solving skills, social skills, and fine
motor skills.
After leaving the classroom, I want the children to communicate properly, shows the curiosity to
the surroundings, able to solve the complex problem. Moreover, I want them to be creative and
imaginative, recognize numbers and particle things.
2) The purpose of the early childhood assessment is to evaluate the cognitive and social skills of
infants for monitoring their development. There is four domain of childhood development, which
includes physical development, cognitive developmental domain, and language development
domain (Navit et al., 2015). Motor skills should be assessed for understanding physical
development. Cognitive development can be assessed by remembering capacity, understanding,
and capability of the plan (Bennet et al., 2018). For language development, use of correct words,
grammatically correct languages. For understanding the social and emotional domain, the ability
of communication, the response to surrounds can be assessed (Navit et al., 2015).
3) The assessment can be done by observing each child in various situation, evaluating the
strength and weakness of the children. Diagnostic assessment can be done for understanding the
capabilities and skill set of the child (Roberts-Holmes, 2015). An upper limit can be set for every
child in order to evaluate the absence of normal skills. Formative assessment can be done for
understanding in-class activities. After observing the skills, summative assessment such as the
report card can be made incorporating the entire attribute that strengthen the children and the
entire attribute that hinders their development (Bennet et al., 2018).
