EDFD446 Development and Learning
10 cp
This unit incorporates insights from Developmental Psychology, Educational Psychology and Sociology to explore issues of child development and learning in particular from a Catholic perspective. The aim is to assist students to understand student characteristics and frames of reference in the middle and adolescence years, and help students understand and apply processes of learning and teaching in the classroom. Particular emphasis is placed on relevant aspects of the learner, the teacher and their interrelationships. The primary goals are for students to:
- reflect and revise their own theories of learning;
- examine and compare how others learn from individual and social perspectives;
- develop a rich understanding of the teacher’s role in creating effective class and school learning environments.
