Use Erikson's theory to draw a contrast between children of high school age and children of elementary school age. How do their day-to-day concerns differ? For each of these age groups, describe a scenario in which a teacher's awareness of how Erikson's
stages affect individuals might be beneficial to a student.
What will be an ideal response?
Both elementary and high school students are expanding their involvement with peers. But while the younger children are focused on measuring up in their abilities, adolescents are focused on finding an identity in the face of unsettling personal change. Teachers who are aware of the developmental changes in these periods can be more understanding; for instance, less likely to take students' egocentric behavior personally.
