ECE 205 Child Development and Cognition II (6 – 9 Years)

3 Credits

Child Development and Cognition II is the second of a series of two courses that is designed to investigate the theory and experience of children in the perceptual, motor, cognitive, social, psychological, and moral domains of development. This course specifically addresses these constructs from six to nine years of age. Additionally, this course examines the application of the principles and theories of child development and learning in order to promote responsive instruction, curriculum, collaboration, and assessment in the classroom. A practicum is a required component of this course which enables students to learn observation, assessment, and recordkeeping skills.
