पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program takes an interdisciplinary and contextual approach to the study of human development. This program is unique in three ways: It focuses on processes of growth and change, as opposed to static conceptions of the individual; Human development is studied from early childhood through adulthood and from philosophical, historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives, with emphasis on integration across the disciplines; The program focuses on the linkage between development processes and the contexts in which they occur. While the primary emphasis is on educational contexts, sociohistorical, cultural, and familial contexts will also be considered. Relations between contexts and development are viewed as interactive, mutually influential, and transformational. There is a strong emphasis on research methodologies appropriate for the study of development and change in real-world contexts. More specifically, this concentration seeks to develop a disciplined analytical perspective that explicates: Different developmental processes and their relations to context; The constitutive role of schools and other social systems as institutional shapers of development-e.g., of children's motivation and social and cognitive skills; The analysis of institutions, explicitly regarding their role in encouraging the development of specific cognitive content and understanding.
