    Human Development and Learning

    EDU 302
    Course Description

    This course has been developed to introduce graduates to the domains of teaching and learning
    as they relate to and are influenced by the continuous processes of human development from
    childhood through adolescence and adulthood. Learners will study some major developmental
    theories and their impact upon human development and learning. In this course prospective
    teachers will explore a range of ways children develop and learn. Importantly, this course will
    explore individual differences of children so that prospective teachers can deal with all types of
    students. This in turn develops student teachers’ understanding of the diverse learning styles
    according to the needs of children from birth to adulthood. Foremost emphasis of this course is
    on understanding about learning within the contexts of rapidly changing environments.
