HUMAN LEARNING: A DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH (HDV-284404)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Human Development >

Course Description:


This advanced level study of human learning across the lifespan from a developmental perspective follows learning throughout life, portraying the role of developmental stages; critical support for learning at each stage; and effects of social, personal and cognitive variations at junctures in development. The study integrates the work of major theorists (Piaget,Vygotsky, Erikson, Kegan, Selman, Maslow and others) with current empirical research. Students will be encouraged to gain principled and practical knowledge about learning trajectories and to apply that knowledge to professional and personal experiences requiring an understanding of learning.

Prerequisites: Human Development and significant exposure to developmental theory. Students should be prepared to do advanced-level work.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Social Sciences.
