Ching, Leong Yin, Ed.; And Others
Attended by participants from 19 nations, this conference focused on six topics related to child and adolescent development. Major topics discussed included child development and related issues, curriculum and the adolescent, the adolescent and technological changes, and the preparation of youth for adulthood. Symposia focusing on child development considered the cognitive development of children, mental abilities of children and adolescents, and child-rearing practices. Those related to issues on child development concerned the mental health of children, the interpersonal relationships of children and adolescents, and the exceptional child. Symposia related to the curriculum and the adolescent dealt with achievement and its correlates, the Tree Drawing Test of cognitive development, and emotional and personality development. Other symposia explored the psychology of adolescents, mental health and adjustment, problems of adolescents and youths, counseling and career planning, sex roles, values, preparation of youth for adulthood, non-formal education for adolescents and youth, and community involvement in preschool education. Two workshop discussions on child development and adolescent development are summarily reported. The former dealt with cognitive development of children; mass media and the child; parenting; emotional and personality development of children; and the education of exceptional children. The latter concerned problems of adolescents; values, culture, and change in relation to adolescent development; schooling and adolescence; preparation for adulthood, and leisure and recreation. Participants' names, institutional affiliations, and addresses are listed. (RH)
