Introduction
This Unit will give you a detailed insight into human development and learning within an education paradigm wherein we will specifically explore the following core ideas: Human psychology exists within chronological age (e.g. critical points and/or stages/transitions), and Human development is a process of recognising/articulating and quantifying change/growth (social, emotional, physical and cognitive) across lifespan, and Human development is an interplay between idiosyncrasies, bio-behavioural aspects, environmental forces and socio-cultural influences, and Human development can be best understood (from infancy to adulthood) within an educational context through a topical approach, and Appreciating and understanding learning theories across lifespan.

Reflect on how various contexts and processes (e.g., home, school) influence individual learning, incorporating multiple perspectives and tailoring for own context in professional practice.
- analyse, interpret, transmit knowledge and support a range of developmental stages and needs in learning environments and apply in the context of own professional practice.
- communicate, manage and share (oral and/or written) specialised knowledge and complex ideas and issues in educational settings through contextually appropriate presentation clearly and effectively, using APA style (6th edition)
