Discuss a Case Study on Robert.
Robert, a nine¬ year-old boy, recently moved with his family to a new academically rigorous school where his mother and father both teach. He also has a younger sister who attends the school who is age six. During the first few weeks of the school year, Robert’s classroom teacher said he was quiet and was not making an effort to seek friendships. He rarely contributed to classroom conversations and only spoke when asked to respond to questions. An early term classroom report from his teacher noted that he was struggling with his writing and reading. His teacher was asking for more support from the learning resources unit to help him along with his writing. Robert was also having difficulty with mathematics—he was able to classify objects into coherent categories using physical objects, but when it came to abstract reasoning, his confidence and skills were diminished. During PE, it was noted that he had very good hand-¬eye co¬ordination and significant running pace on the field. He has additionally participated to a high standard, particularly in non¬-competitive sports. He has started co-¬curricular activities this term, including squash and drama. Next term, he has been encouraged to start a musical instrument and join in a team sport. Your report should include: •an introduction where you briefly introduce the case study—you should also state what you intend to cover (including the development issues and learning theories that your report will focus on) and support these intentions with evidence in your body paragraphs •a body where you: oidentify and outline key development issues in the case study that are impacting on Robert’s learning (intellectual, physical, linguistic, emotional, moral, social and psychological) choose 4. oconnect these development issues with relevant learning theories oexplain how the learning theories you have identified could then be applied to classroom pedagogy and practice to address any barriers to Robert’s learning ocite academic literature to support your discussion
