| Description: | This course delves into the complexities of human development, tracing the intricate journey from conception through late adulthood and ultimately, the end of life. Through a comprehensive exploration of major theories, research methods, and empirical findings, students will gain insight into the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that unfold across the lifespan. Topics will include prenatal development, infancy, childhood, adolescence, emerging and middle adulthood, aging, family and peer relationships, identity formation, language and cognitive development, and the profound impact of social and cultural influences on development. Our focus will be on the dynamic relationship between biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that shape developmental trajectories, as well as the significant individual differences that emerge across diverse populations and contexts. By critically evaluating contemporary research and considering the multifaceted nature of human development, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the lifelong process. |
