IDEA 300 - Introduction to Ecology of Human Development

In this course, students will explore the forces and experiences that shape human development in a rapidly changing world. Children’s biological, social, emotional, and cognitive development is considered within the ecology of school, family, and peer settings from a national and international perspective. Ecologies vary within and among different regions and countries of the world and these differences and similarities provide windows into the worlds of childhood. By examining developmental ecologies across country borders, students will be challenged to apply research and theory to everyday situations that are different from their own experiences.
