Learning and Development: An Introduction for Educators - EDST101
This is the foundation level unit in learning and development for all students in early childhood, primary, and secondary teaching programs. There are three areas of focus. First, the unit introduces learning, development, and systems theories to describe the cognitive, socio-emotional and physical growth of infants, children and adolescents. Second, the unit introduces techniques for identifying and critically analysing learning and development myths and contestable concepts in educational and developmental discourse. Third, the unit focuses on developing research skills. Students will develop an understanding of the theoretical concepts and research approaches used in learning and development research and will use these to describe developing learners and the contexts they interact with.
