So I am in my second year of this doctorate program and I am sure I have at least two more to go. I have studied philosophy, critically examined my own motives and goals, and even survived an 8000 level statistics class. So why am I trying to acquire a PhD you might ask. I have asked that question a number of times; however I have this internal drive that is screaming at me to do this.
My focus at this point is to understand the arena of cognitive development. I have begun to look at the theories of Skinner, Piaget, and Gardner. The theory set forth by each is sort of like an evolution of the science. Skinner is about operant conditioning. Piaget is about stages of life, and Gardner brings a perspective of cognition based on a more focused approach to understanding the uniqueness of the individual. I am very interested in pursuing further research on Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence, so stay tuned for that. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to offer them up.
With that said, I am working on a 120 page paper that will flesh all this out. My goal is to be completed with this paper and have the basis for the next one by May 29. The next paper will evaluate servant leadership and how it can be applied in educational and healthcare settings. If you have some suggestions on this topic as well, I am all ears.
