EDUC 7300 - Advanced Child Development


3 cr.
This core course explores human growth and development from birth to age 18. Particular attention is given to exploring the relationship between developmental theory and knowledge and educational decisions and practice. Various theoretical perspectives are covered as well as specific developmental areas, such as physical-motor, cognitive, language, social, and emotional development. How children develop as thinkers and learners, specifically how problems are solved at different points in development, is emphasized. In addition, students develop a clear understanding of the process of objective observation of children, as well as observation and recording skills appropriate for investigating various aspects of child development and behavior. Credit cannot be given for both EDUC 7300 and EDUC 7003 . This course is part of the professional licensure track, early childhood and elementary.
