PSYCH 370 : Psychology of Education

This course examines how the development of children’s cognitive competence and academic achievement from early childhood to emerging adulthood interface with relevant social educational environments, such as the home, school, and culture/society. This course draws material from social psychology, human development, and educational research. Throughout the course, students will also discuss and debate enduring and current, sometimes controversial, issues in education in order to demonstrate how psychological science can be applied.
