This course material for eds 248: human development and learning, taught by Stephen E. Brock, Ph.D., NCSP, covers the basics of human development, including an introduction to the concept, developmental skills, risks, and theories. Students engage in small group discussions to identify skills that demonstrate different types of development. The document emphasizes the importance of assessing the environment when identifying learning challenges and explores the role of family, social, financial, personal history, and individual traits in resilience. It also discusses key issues in human development, such as active and passive nature, critical periods, and the influence of nature and nurture. The document concludes with an overview of research methods, including qualitative and quantitative types, and specific methods like historical, ethnographic, descriptive, correlational, group comparison, ex post facto, experiments, and quasi experiments.
