Q Overview Throughout the course, you’ve been exposed to many theorists in life-span development. Now you will work to align their theories to relevant perspectives and explore the foundations of their research. This milestone will prepare you to complete Project Two in Module Seven. You will complete a Theories at a Glance table and answer two short-response questions. Prompt The following resource supports your work on the milestone: • Module Five Milestone Template Using the Module Five Milestone Template, you must address Part One and Part Two of the rubric criteria listed below: Part One: Theories at a Glance Table • Identify the appropriate perspective(s) that best relate to each theorist by inserting an ‘X’ under the appropriate perspective column. It is possible that some theorists may apply more than one perspective. • Identify the primary theoretical concept(s) of each theorist and provide a brief explanation of the perspective-theorist alignment you identified. Part Two: Short-Response Questions • Identify a theorist from the Theories at a Glance Table, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to one of the three perspectives: biological, psychological, or social. Support your answer with a credible source. • Select another theorist from the Theories at a Glance Table and explain how their theory applies to your own learning development and lived experience. Guidelines for Submission Submit your completed Module Five Milestone Template. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
