AI 261 - Adult Psychologicl Growth

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will look at several models of adult development that have been put forward in recent years and relate them to our own lives. We will ask questions such as: where am I in my life's journey How can I develop my cognitive, moral, and psychological capacities How can an understanding of stage development help me in my relations with others Do gender and culture affect development or is there a common path that all human beings follow In-class work will include lecture, small group work, role play, various written exercises, and discussion. In addition, students will keep journals in which they reflect on their learning and their personal experience and then prepare a personal growth history which relates their own experience to one or more of the models studied. Students will also work collaboratively on a project in which they attempt to design a model of how cognitive, moral, and/or psychological growth occurs and how it might be encouraged. Students will also observe their own collaborative process and relate it to theory. Pre-'99 Competencies: AL-D, AL-N, HC-H. BA'99 Competencies: L-7, A-3-A, H-3-C. Faculty: Lynn Holaday
