PS350: Child Development

This course explores child development from conception through middle childhood (age 12), including theories and methods, heredity, prenatal development, and children’s physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development. This knowledge will be further deepened by considering the diversity, culture, and environment of each stage. Students will familiarize themselves with research methods, literature, and ethical research practices related to children. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of developmental progressions and disorders through in-class presentations and case studies.
