An introduction to developmental psychology, the course explores the different stages of human
life- Prenatal, Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, and Young Adulthood- and the biological,
psychological and social changes occurring in individuals during them. Concepts related to the
Montessori’s theories of development will be integrated throughout the course.
Application of theory to the pre-school and school setting are discussed. Topics also include the
impact of culture and diversity on learning.
