Topic outline

  • Welcome!

    Collapse all Expand all

    This course offers a life span survey of developmental changes (social, physical, and cognitive) from conception to death.  Major questions addressed in the course include:

    -- Is development due more to genetics (nature) or environment (nurture)?

    -- Does development occur slowly and smoothly or do changes happen in stages?

    -- Do early childhood experiences impact development most, or are later events equally important?

    These topics will be approached from multiple viewpoints, particularly through the lens of the unique culture of Louisiana.
     
    Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to meet the following course objectives:
    The class week runs from Monday - Sunday. New materials will be released on Monday of each week. Discussion board responses should be made by 11:59 PM on Wednesday during the relevant week, with students continuing to respond to each other until Saturday.  All other assignments and due dates/times will be posted; click on the assignment to see due date.  Each assignment will be due by 11:59 PM on the due date. There may be corrections, changes, or further explanations of assignments. You must log on to Moodle at least every other day to ensure you have the most current information and participate as expected. I anticipate completing the readings and assignments will take approximately eight hours each week.

    In this module, we will discuss concepts related to conception and heredity. We explore how fetal development is additive and varied, guided by the genetic material supplied by both biological parents. We will also look at how development typically proceeds and some causes of genetic abnormalities. Before going into these topics, however, it is important to emphasize the interplay between heredity and the environment. This chapter helps us understand why parental health is important during conception and pregnancy, how social support and reduced stress benefit a developing fetus, and why we are the way we are. As you consider some of your features (height, weight, personality, being diabetic, etc.), ask yourself whether these features result from heredity or environmental factors. Chances are, you can see how both heredity and environmental factors (such as lifestyle, diet, and so on) have contributed to these features. 

    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:
      1. Examine our basic genetic endowment and explain how human development can go awry (CLO #2)
      2. Explain how the environment and genetics work together to determine human characteristics (CLO #2)
      3. Determine which human characteristics are significantly affected by heredity (CLO #2)
      4. Determine which human characteristics are significantly affected by the environment (CLO #2)
      5. Recognize and express the prenatal stages of development (CLO #2)
      6. Name the threats to the fetal environment and articulate what can be done about them (CLO #2) 


    To achieve these objectives:

    What you'll learn to do: Describe physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development in infants and toddlers.

    John Locke argued that the human mind is a blank slate (tabula rasa) at birth and is filled with thoughts and knowledge as we experience life through the five senses. However, developmental theories have moved away from this notion.  Newborns are equipped with basic reflexes such as crying, grasping, and suckling and are not empty-headed organisms Santrock (2019). As infants develop, innate abilities also develop and the worlds around infants play a major role in their development. 

    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:
    1. Identify and explain major development milestones during infancy and toddlerhood. (CLO #1)
    2. Discuss developmental theories and concepts associated with infancy and toddlerhood. (CLO# 2)
    3. Explain the relationships that nature and nurture have on development during infancy and toddlerhood. (CLO #1)

    To achieve these objectives: 

    1. Read the Module 3 Introduction (LO 1)
    2. Read Chapter 4, Infancy in Developmental Psychology (LO 1-3)

    Early childhood may be an exciting time for children. Along with rapid physical growth, comes rapid socioemotional growth and development. Children are school-aged and spend a considerable amount of time away from home and their parents. Children are naturally curious during this time and seek to know and understand the ever-changing world around them. 


    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

      1. Identify and explain differences in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth and development patterns in early childhood. (CLO #2)

      2. Summarize language development in early childhood. (CLO #3)

      3. Describe three views associated with cognitive changes during early childhood. (CLO #3)

  • Module 5: Middle and Late Childhood

    Middle and late childhood are periods of life that begin when children enter school and last until they reach adolescence. Think for a moment about children of this age that you may know. What are their lives like? What kinds of concerns do they express and with what kinds of activities are their days filled? If it were possible, would you want to return to this period of life? Why or why not? Early childhood and adolescence seem to get much more attention than middle childhood. Perhaps this is because growth patterns are slow currently, the id becomes hidden during the latent stage, according to Freud, and children spend much more time in schools, with friends, and in structured activities. It may be easy for parents to lose track of their children’s development unless they stay directly involved in these worlds. I think it is important to stop and give full attention to middle childhood to stay in touch with these children and to take notice of the varied influences on their lives in a larger world.



    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:
    1. Explain differences in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth and development in middle-late childhood. (CLO #2)
    2. Describe development changes in parent-child relations during middle-late childhood. (CLO #3)
    3. Explain moral development in middle-late childhood. (CLO #3)

    To achieve these objectives:

      1. Read the Module 4 Introduction 
      2. Read Chapter 6 in Developmental Psychology. (LO 1-3)

    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:
    1. Be familiar with adolescent physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development characteristics (CLO #3).
    2. Be familiar with the theoretical development stages during adolescence (CLO #1).

Puberty, in fact, begins in the brain and lasts as long as five years. And during this extended process, the brain undergoes its own transformation, thanks to estrogen and testosterone. Shannon Odell details what we know— and still don’t know— about puberty.

    Age Range: 18-29

    You can find emerging and early adulthood somewhere between adolescence and adulthood. Emerging adulthood, what is that, you ask? According to research, as our societies advance, young adults take a little longer to accomplish specific tasks that help them become more independent during early adulthood. As a result, to highlight this phenomenon, emerging adulthood is a phase one would consider a “bridge” that helps one to transition into early adulthood successfully. In this chapter, you will discover how individuals navigate the worlds within them and around them during this stage.


    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

    1. Be familiar with the characteristics of early adulthood physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development (CLO #3).
    2. Understand the concept of emerging adulthood and how it differs from adolescence (CLO #2).
    3. Be familiar with the theoretical development stages during early adulthood (CLO #1).

      Explore how scientists define adulthood, and find out if there’s a specific age at which we reach maturity. -- Most countries recognize 18 as the start of adulthood by granting various freedoms and privileges. Yet there’s no exact age or moment in development that we can point to as having reached full maturity. If there’s no consensus on exactly when we reach maturity, when do we actually become adults? Shannon Odell shares how scientists define adulthood using stages of brain development.

    Can we say “adulting” at its prime? During Middle Adulthood, individuals cruising through this phase are solidified adults as they should have established a sense of interdependency. Meaning they have created a sense of self-reliance and sustainable connections with others, whether personally or professionally. However, there can be some significant shifts that can take place during this phase. For example, physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes are the most obvious; thus, relationship roles also alter. In this chapter, you will discover how individuals in this phase navigate themselves and the world around them.  


    Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

    1. Be familiar with the characteristics of middle adulthood physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development (C.O. #3).
    2. Be familiar with the theoretical development stages that take place during middle adulthood (CLO #1).
