This module introduces the nature of developmental psychology and encourages a critical understanding of psychological theories in relation to children’s development.
You will explore implications for practice within Early Years curriculums and policy, and investigate the relationships between different domains, such as biological, social, emotional and cognitive.
You will be introduced to the idea that development is not fixed at ages and stages, but instead is influenced by social and historical contexts, and explore links between theories of child development and how they underpin and inform practice within the Early Years sector. Â
