EDGR 5125 - Developmental and Psychological Foundations of Education (3)


Students will analyze learning processes in school situations and examine human motivation, the affective, cognitive, social, physical and personal development of children and adolescents, individual differences, classroom management and the implications of relevant theory and research for instructional practices. (This course also examines selected issues in contemporary American education at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels such as authentic assessment and fairness in testing.) Students will also evaluate the impact of poverty, racism, gender and social class on child growth and development and roles of the teacher and the schools embedded in societal context - using students’ professional experiences as a bridge between the theoretical and actual classroom practices.
