We shall examine what is known scientifi cally about physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development in humans. We shall examine how changes in each one of these major areas impacts change in each of the other two. The relative importance of nature and nurture will be examined for each of the various life stages. The issues of native temperament and physical appearance will be given special emphasis as these areas impact psychosocial and cognitive development. A considerable amount of time will be devoted to what is known about methods of effective/ineffective, successful/unsuccessful parenting. Finally, we shall look at the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial aspects of our fi nal years of life.

3 semester credits This course is designed to allow students to explore educational psychology domains in-depth. The current domains of exploration included (a) the nature, value and application of educational psychology research to instruction, (b) an in-depth exploration of learning theory, and (c) the application of learning theory to instruction. Each of these domains is addressed within a broad view of learning and instruction including bridging the gap between research and practice. Thus, this course has a dual emphasis: research and instruction. If this class is taken at the 500 level, it is a graduate course and expectations for student performance are at an advanced level.
