Lynch School of Education & Human Development
This course introduces the breadth of opportunities and challenges of human development across the adolescent years. It discusses biological, social, psychological, and cognitive changes that occur during adolescence; the role of autonomy, belonging, and motivation in adolescent development; how peers, adults, and technology influence adolescent development; and how adolescents race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and academic identities influence their development. Consideration will be given to variability in adolescent development across cultures and contexts, and to the impact of rapid cultural change on youth.
