The theoretical and practical context of child development from birth to twelve years will be explored. The implications of development for learning and teaching will be featured in relation to contemporary issues impacting on child development. All aspects of learning and teaching in the early and middle childhood years will be examined through participation in problem-based learning scenarios and observed case studies where students will analyse and apply knowledge of child development to understand both theoretical and contemporary real-life issues related to development of children. -- Course Website
