This course is split into two sections. In the first few weeks we will focus on the theoretical foundations of cognitive development. This will include Piagetian, Vygotskian, and biological approaches. During this time, you will contribute to a group project in which you will be expected to administer a test of cognitive development to a child and interpret the results for the class. The second part of the class will incorporate a more detailed examination of specific areas of cognitive development including literacy, numeracy, memory and symbolic representation. We will consider research results as well as methods and theoretical issues as we proceed. Your primary project will be either a Community Service Learning placement or contribution to the Cognitive Development content on Wikipedia.
