Course Description
This is a basic course on child and adolescent development focusing on current
research and theory on the biological linguistic, cognitive, social and emotional dimensions
of development and the factor that affect the progress of development.
The coverage of the course is structured to cover the key dimensions of the
development of children and adolescent physical, linguistic, cognitive and socio-emotional
development. For each dimension, the core contemporary research and theories are
covered. Particular emphasis is given to factors that have been identified as having positive
or negative effects on the natural course of these development processes. In addition, some
focus is given to the exceptional cases when children or adolescent vary from the natural
course.
The coverage of these ideas is intended to provide future teachers with the broad yet
fairly detailed understanding of the development processes students undergo and do that
such understanding may be used to guide all dealings (i.e. formal instruction, informal social,
etc.) with the students.
