2: DO THE FOLLOWING TO ENSURE MASTERY OF THE BIG IDEAS PRESENTED

IN THIS MODULE.
1. Read the published book The Nurture Assumption, by Judith Harris (1998).
2. State in not more than 2 paragraphs the thesis of Judith Harris book.
STATEMENT: The nurture assumption is that, aside from their genes, what influences the way
children develop is the way their parents bring them up. In other words, we assume parents are
the whole environment, when in reality the environment includes much more.
3. A. Watch “Lonely Only” in your YouTube. Only Children: Debunking the Myths About Single
Children.
STATEMENT: As I watch the Lonely You. The children debunking the myths about single
children. I believe that having lesser child can make the parent focus on nurturing and raising
their child for the better.
B. In 1986 Granville Stanley Hall described only children as “deficient on the social side”,
“petted”, “humored”, “indulged”. And “spoiled”. Today, many consider this a MYTH - WHAT
DO YOU THINK?
STATEMENT: Today, many people consider the myth humored having or showing a pleasant,
amiable mood, a good-humored man, a good-humored remark.
For related articles, refer to TIME Magazine, July 19, 2010 issues. State in not more than 10
sentences the position expressed in the YouTube and in the Time Magazine.
4. Read on Fetal Origin
STATEMENT: The fetal origins hypothesis (differentiated from the developmental origins of
health and disease hypothesis, which emphasizes environmental conditions both before and
immediately after birth) proposes that the period of gestation has significant impacts on the
developmental health and wellbeing outcomes.

REFLECTION NO.2
Relate what you learned here to your personal development. Reflect on you own personal
development. What has helped you become the person that you are now? Is what you have
become a product of the mere interaction of heredity and environment? Or is what you have
become a product of both heredity and environment interacting and what you have decided
or determined yourself to become? (Self - determination or freedom is a third factor). Write
your reflections
 For me, I learned a lot about the personal development because it gives me more ideas
and knowledge on what, how and why was the reason behind in human development. I
believe that I came from the product of my heredity and environment. When we say
heredity, it is our physical or mental characteristics genetically from our parents. And
when we say environment, it is what or how we interact with others. We cannot live
without the participants of others. I decided to become or have a self-determination
and have freedom in life that don’t matter the negativity of others. And live my life to
fullest with respect for everyone’s opinion and beliefs.

REFLECTION NO.3
It is said that because teachers are overloaded with work, they usually frown on the conduct
of research. Reflect on the consequences of this attitude. What can be done to prevent this?
Write your reflections!
 Having overloaded with work is part of being a teacher. So, therefore every aspiring
teacher should know that the job of a teacher is not just to teach the children but then,
they should also need to know what kind of student they are going to handle and teach.
Being frown on the conduct of research may result to poor deliberation of knowledge to
the students. Because, there are students especially in the elementary that already
know something about the topic or lesson being taught. Like for example, in kinder they
are being taught about the shapes, color, and etc. but, almost of kids nowadays already
know what are those because we are living in a modern world now, which almost of the
kids know how to operate and watch on mobile phones. In that, we need to upgrade the
teaching methods to the level of the student’s knowledge. Conducting research and
knowing the student’s knowledge and behavior is the best way to have good
communication and good teaching approach.
I believe that we need researchers and teachers, but I also believe that we need more
colleagues who do both well. Our research efforts tend to keep us current in our fields,
which has the potential to make us more informed and more interesting teachers.
