The module covers cognitive, social, and emotional development, and discusses the key theories and debates in child psychology. Successful students will demonstrate an understanding of theories of human development and of the range and relative merits of research conducted in developmental psychology. The course will be delivered via two hours of content lectures each week, paired with one hour research-focus lectures addressing a key topic or controversy in the area. Over the semester, students will participate in 3 x 2 hours smaller group seminars during which students research a specific topic in developmental psychology. Learning will be assessed via a summary paper on a chosen body of research submitted mid semester and a multiple choice and short answer exam during the exam period. Material will be available to students online (e.g., lecture slides, stream captured sessions, online activities, group discussion forum, formative and summative feedback).
