ECED 3302 - Research in Child Growth and Development

(3 CR, 3T + 0L)

This advanced course in child growth, development, and learning builds upon the foundational material covered in the basic course ECED 1110 Child Growth, Development, and Learning course. An integration of major theories of child development is provided by focusing on contemporary research in all aspects of development, including bio-ecological, social-affective, cognitive-learning and language-cultural, methodological aspects of research in early childhood development and education. This course focuses on preparing early childhood professionals to use empirically-based research to inform their teaching of young children and prepares teachers to be researchers in their own classrooms.
