About this course
This course surveys the history of the field of child psychology. Its primary aim is to develop students' awareness of the dynamic interaction among those biological, sociocultural, and psychological factors that influence the child's developing personality. Prevailing theories of development, including the cognitive, psychoanalytic, psychosocial, and social learning perspective, are covered. Research methodology and case study material are emphasized. EDU 1101 and PSY 3059 are equivalent. If PSY 3059 is taken, credit cannot be given for EDU 1101.
