| Overall Educational Objective |
To learn to understand biological, cognitive, emotional, and social development from conception through middle childhood by referring theories and research findings in developmental psychology. |
| Course Description |
This is an introductory developmental psychology course from conception through middle childhood. It introduces both theories of development and recent research issues in biological, cognitive, emotional, and social development. We will also discuss historical perspectives on child development, modern-day institutions, and the impact of socio-political climates on developmental processes.
Students will describe biological, cognitive, emotional, and social development from conception through middle childhood by referring theories and research findings in developmental psychology. Students will demonstrate knowledge of research methodologies in developmental psychology and their relation to theories of psychology. Students will understand how theoretical perspectives of developmental psychology position themselves on the issues of nature and nurture, continuity and discontinuity, and human agency. Students will demonstrate a multi-level understanding of diversity issues and their influences on children’s cognitive, emotional, social and moral development (e.g., class systems, schools, family patterns and practices, racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and ethnocentrism). Students will increase critical reading and writing skills.

Office hours: Before and after class or by appointment
EQUALITY, EQUITY, AND RESPECT: I will do my best to provide a safe learning environment for everyone in class. I highly recommend that you use inclusive language to create a classroom atmosphere in which each student’s experience and viewpoint are treated with equal respect and value in relation to his or her gender, sexual orientation, ethnic and religious background, socioeconomic status, and ability/disability. Any type of unprofessional, unethical, or disruptive student attitudes and behaviors that interfere with the development and maintenance of emotional and physical safety are not acceptable.
SPECIALIZED SUPPORT AND DISABILITY SERVICES: Students with documented disabilities affecting vision, mobility, hearing, learning, and mental or physical health who may require accommodations should make an appointment with me as soon as possible, no later than the 3rd week of the semester, to discuss their needs.
