The central aim of this module will be to develop your awareness of the cognitive, social, physical and emotional changes that occur from childhood through to adulthood and how these impact upon individuals. It will examine the phases of development and transitions for children from conception through to childhood, adolescence and adulthood in a changing world.
Psychological perspectives on cognitive, social, physical and emotional development will predominate and will be evaluated, including from a cross-cultural perspective. Where appropriate, specific contextual parameters such as different educational settings will be examined.
