Catalogue Description:
Study of basic knowledge and theories of human development and behavior from
a multidisciplinary approach. Special emphasis placed on the sociocultural
nature of human development including the physical, intellectual, and
socioemotional growth patterns of individuals throughout the life span.
My interpretation:
You will know and be able to apply major theories, and read and discuss
research in developmental psychology.
Readings:
 | Michael Green, John A. Piel, Theories of Human Development: A
Comparative Approach, Allyn & Bacon, 2002; ISBN: 0-205-29647-5. |
