Module Synopsis
單元概要
This course aims to provide participants a fundamental understanding about human development focusing on the biological perspective. Emphasis will be put on the neurobiological mechanisms in explaining physical, social emotional, and cognitive development in different developmental stages. Theories in neural plasticity will be used to explain how the brain structure and function are shaped by experience and its implications on learning and education. Research findings on the role of neurobiological factors in healthy physical and psychological development, as well as in neurodevelopmental disorders, will be reviewed.
