Description

This course establishes a foundation in theory, concepts, processes and factual knowledge of infant, child, and adolescent development within the context of family, school, and community. Students will acquire an understanding of the developmental processes that take place within and across physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains, and their associations with developmental outcomes.

How do infants develop into children and how do children develop into adolescents? How does the combination of genetic/biological and environmental influences shape our developmental outcomes? Are early risk factors always detrimental for child outcomes? How does our social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development overlap?

These are just a few of the interesting questions that will be addressed in TEDU110: Child and Adolescent Development. Through lectures and a video-based tutorial program using BBC’s Child of our Time programme, we will connect research and theory to reality as we explore the processes of how children and adolescents develop.

Learning Outcomes

1. Students will be able to describe the principal ideas of a developmental approach to understanding infants, children and adolescents.
2. Students will be able to describe the pathways of cognitive, social, emotional and physical development.
3. Students will be able to outline the process of language development from infancy.
4. Students will be able to describe the principal ideas of a range of developmental theories.
5. Students will be able to discuss the impact of health and health- related issues on infant, child and adolescent development.
