Synopsis
This course offers an introduction to the key concepts and issues related to adolescence and adult development and how this is linked to learning. The course provides an overview of the constancies and changes pertaining to the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial dimensions of adolescence and adult development, and introduces key learning theories and concepts, including behaviourism, cognitivism, and achievement motivation. The reciprocal influence of context, such as family and educational settings, peer group and community environments, will be explored. The course will also present information about atypical patterns of development, such as anxiety, depression and language disorders, which will serve as foundational knowledge for subsequent courses. Pre-service teachers will be encouraged to reflect critically on theories of development and learning this applies to their educational practice.
