Theories of Learning

Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how information is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning. Learning style theories propose that individuals learn in different ways, that there are distinct learning styles and that knowledge of a learner’s preferred learning style will lead to faster and more satisfactory learning. Thus, this course brings about awareness of these radically different theories and also makes them relevant to the classroom by addressing their application in different aspects of classroom learning.

Child Development

Child development refers to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. This course enhances your understanding of the social, cognitive, emotional, and educational development of children. It introduces the latest researches in this field that have resulted in new theories and strategies, with specific regard to practice that promotes child development within the school system.
