PSY 1800 - Developmental Educational Psychology

Credits: 3

Description: The course focuses on concepts, principles, and methods by which all humans develop psychologically and how these factors can be used to better understand how infants, children, and adolescents learn. Emphasis is placed on milestones of child development (physical, social-emotional, cognitive) from birth to adolescence, and the influence of the family, peers, and school on development during the preschool and elementary school years. Observations of children and of the learning/teaching process in classrooms are a required part of the class and provide experience in the application of course concepts.

Note: Students may not substitute PSY 2110 for PSY 1800. Students may not receive credit for both PSY 1800 and PSY 2110.
