In this course, we dive into the topic of child development.
You will learn that child development is complex and influenced by a surprisingly rich number of factors at many different levels of organization.
You will see that development can be studied in various domains and at various levels of understanding, from different angles and disciplines.
Importantly, you will come to understand that processes within and across various domains and organizational levels continuously interact to shape development.
This implies that understanding development requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach.
To help organize your thinking about this complexity, you'll learn more about the development systems approach and related theories.
We will see, among other things, brain and motor development, cognitive, language and socio-emotional development and all the factors that influence development.
To illustrate how an interdisciplinary approach helps to understand child development, see how researchers from various disciplines and backgrounds study child development at Utrecht University.
These scientists will take a look at their field of knowledge and their collaboration with colleagues, to illustrate how the theory you'll learn translates into practice.
In short, we invite you to follow us on a journey to understand child development from synapse to society!
