Human Development in Context
EDPE5002
A core unit of study that critically examines models and theories from developmental psychology in the light of contemporary theory and research, drawing especially on the Dynamic Systems Approach. The aim is to understand the complexity of cognitive, emotional, social, moral and physical development. Seminars address these issues by focusing on the development of children in the context of family, school and community. The unit also considers the impact of history, culture, and social context on the development of children in Australia, as each individual child engages with the multiplicities of its experience of being in the world.
