In this Course unit we aim at explaining the changes that occur during the process of human growth and development. We encourage you to think deeply about the psychological development mechanisms of a human being. As teachers, this course will enable you to better understand the behaviour of learners at different stages of their growth and development.
Throughout this unit, you will learn about principles, theories and determinants of human growth and development. The focal areas of this unit are physical and motor, emotional, moral, social, and intellectual development. A good knowledge of this module will enable you to be a well-balanced teacher who can understand various behavioural patterns of students at different stages of development. You will be able to adapt your teaching to the level of learners.
