Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget are two popular cognitive learning theorists. Read about their ideas online.
If you were working with a child, which learning theory would you use to work with the child, and what prompted you to choose Vygotsky\’s style or Piaget\’s style? Would it matter \”WHAT\” the child was attempting to learn, in terms of the theorist you would select?
Explain how you would use the information to help the child learn.
Project: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment
Assessing a clients biological, psychological, and social history is a holistic approach that is an essential aspect of social work practice. Since one area often affects the other two, it is important to get as accurate an assessment as possible when working with a client. Social workers use the bio-psycho-social tool to communicate specific information, and possible conclusions, about a client to other professionals. It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems; a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the current situation; and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. In addition to describing the clients challenges and problems, the assessment identifies strengths and assets that are available to provide support. For this Assignment you create a bio-psycho-social assessment.
Submit by Day 7 a 6- to 9-page paper that focuses on an adolescent from one of the case studies presented in this course. For this assignment, complete a bio-psycho-social assessment and provide an analysis of the assessment. This assignment is divided into two parts:
Part A: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment: The assessment should be written in professional language and include sections on each of the following:
Presenting issue (including referral source)
Demographic information
Current living situation
Birth and developmental history
School and social relationships
Family members and relationships
Health and medical issues (including psychological and psychiatric functioning, substance abuse)

Part B: Analysis of Assessment. Address each of the following:
Explain the challenges faced by the client(s)for example, drug addiction, lack of basic needs, victim of abuse, new school environment, etc.
Analyze how the social environment affects the client.
Identify which human behavior or social theories may guide your practice with this individual and explain how these theories inform your assessment.
Explain how you would use this assessment to develop mutually agreed-upon goals to be met in order to address the presenting issue and challenges face by the client.
Explain how you would use the identified strengths of the client(s) in a treatment plan.
Explain how you would use evidence-based practice when working with this client and recommend specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.) to address the presenting issue.

Expository Essay: Religion in the Workplace
This assignment is due in Week 2 of the course. Scholars conclude that what we ordinarily call religion manifests to some degree the following eight elements: 1) a belief system; 2) community; 3) central myths; 4) rituals; 5) an ethical system; 6) emotional experiences; 7) material expressions of religion; and 8) sacredness.
1. Examine to what extent your religious beliefs fall into this pattern. Do some elements have more weight than others? If you do not have a belief system, interview someone who does and examine their belief system. Provide enough details to support your answer.
Then examine religion in your workplace. What religions and/or expressions of faith do you encounter in the workplace? Examine one expression and describe how it effects healthcare or employee interaction. Please address what accommodations are made in your workplace, or accommodations that could be made. Are you comfortable making these accommodations? Why or why not?
2. This essay should be 6-8 pages in length.
3. The course paper templates found in doc sharing and APA Style must be used. See the documents in doc sharing.
4. Font: Times New Roman 12 point
5. Spacing: Double
6. Contents: Title page; running head; table of contents; reference page
7. Checklist: Please complete and submit a checklist with your paper!
I am a registered nurse working on a surgical unit with nurses of many different religions such as Catholic, Jewish and Muslim.
