Child Development in Context - ECED833

Central to this unit is an understanding of child development through reading, critiquing and conducting empirical research. The approach to this unit is twofold. First, the unit includes selected contemporary child development topics that are of direct relevance to quality in early childhood settings. Second, the unit supports in-depth investigation of an area of interest in child development through projects such as a literature review, case study or involvement in a current child development research project through the Institute of Early Childhood/Children and Families Research Centre. It is assumed that students undertaking this unit have completed previous studies in child development.
