Learning Log

In class last time we learned about Emotional Intelligence and how our lives are made up of rational emotions.
Factors of Emotional Intelligence include:
Knowing one's emotions
Managing
Motivating
Recognizing
Handling

Next we learned about Erikson's Psychosocial Crises
Trust VS. Mistrust (Infancy)
Atonomy VS. Doubt and Shame (Toddlers)
Initative VS. Guilt (Preschool)
Industry VS. Inferiority (Elementary)
Identity VS. Role Confusion (Adolecence)
Intimacy VS. Isolation (Young Adult)
Generativity VS. Stagnation (Middle Age)
Integrity VS. Despair (Retirement)

One thing that you have to remember with these stages is that the ages are way off, even someone that is in their middle age could have problems with identity and role confusion. It depends on each person.

So What?
It is good for me to know these different stages and understand the positive effects and negative effect of each because as a P.E. teacher I will be teaching students K-12. Knowing the different meanings of the stages will help me become a better teacher to my students and help them one a one on one bases.


Now What?
Now I need to print out a page with all of Erikson's Psychosocial Crises with the effects of each stage and combined it into a folder with the rest of the materials I will be saving for my teaching experiences. This way I can easily access it when ever I need it.
