Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is a 5ECTS Proseminar which is designed to equip teacher candidates by providing a theoretical background about the social and individual development and its application in teaching.
- Gain basic understanding and appreciation for the importance of scientific research and its role in education.
- Learn basic principles, terminology, theories and research findings regarding the theories of human development and learning.
- Increase student understanding of the relationships among social, emotional, mental, and developmental characteristics of children in schools today.
- Understand how theories of learning and developmental characteristics of children can be combined to make teaching more effective, and how they influence pacing of content/skills and the choice of appropriate teaching strategies for children so that children can master content standards.
- Relate the theories of growth, development, and learning to current teaching practice by completing all fieldwork observations and activities.
- Implement characteristics of a reflective teacher utilizing higher levels of critical thinking (i.e., application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis) in the written and oral assignments.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Midterm Exam: This course will have a midterm exam. Exam will be closed-book covering concepts, principles, issues, and theoretical and practical approaches discussed in the class. Each will be comprehensive; i.e., cover all materials (class discussions, activities, required readings) assigned through the last class day prior to the exam day. No make up exams will be granted unless you have a valid excuse accompanied by appropriate written documentation for missing the exam. The only acceptable form of documentation for an illness will be a written doctor's note. Failure to justify a missed exam will result in a grade of zero.

Seminar Paper: You are expected to write a paper between 10-15 pages examining a related research topic. Your paper will be evaluated on cohesiveness, clarity, rational lines of argument, evenhandedness (both sides of issue) and appropriate use of the English language.

Examination topics

Cognitive, Social, Psychological and Moral Development.
