EDU 662 - Learning, Development, and Diversity

3 credits

Studying student development and student diversity simultaneously provides the professional educator with a research-based analysis of the general similarities and developmental differences that depend on a variety of social, cognitive, non-cognitive, cultural, and gender-related factors. The course considers physical, cognitive, social and moral development of students within the context of social cognitive theory and related practice. Theories that link development and diversity are examined and practical applications to learners are explored.
