5. To consider possible applications of the knowledge and understanding obtained into developmental practice.Important topics in the development of temperament and personality over childhood, adolescence/ emerging adulthood from the point of view of theory, research, and practice (implications), including theoretical frameworks within the trait approach, precursors of adult personality, sources and factors of pre-adult individual differences in temperament/personality traits, mechanisms of personality development, and the role of personality in predicting important developmental/behavioral outcomes.Introductory discussions in the class on extant knowledge and understanding of the SE participants. Students’ oral presentations (posters, seminar papers), short written reports, discussions, group work (creations of posters, categorizations of individually collected materials, discussions in small groups), individual study out of the classroom and non-time consuming field work. Whenever required, additional knowledge and explanations will be offered by the lecturer.
