EDU 641 - Teaching & Learning Across the Life Span (C&IC; ACE; HED)

3 Hour(s)

This course examines a wide variety of theories and research that contribute to the understanding of human development and learning, focusing particular attention to the application of developmental theory. Development is explored as a life-span process, influenced by the interaction between the individual and his/her environment. We will study the most important ideas from several theoretical perspectives, and examine patterns of growth, change, and continuity that occur throughout the lifespan. Finally, we will apply theoretical principles to real-life human behaviors.
