The goal of the course is to give students a broad understanding of the principles,
theories, and “facts” of child development
In plain English, I want to teach you the fundamental theories and concepts necessary
for understanding child and youth development, as well as some of the details of that
development, and how to analyze research relating to both

The basic structure of the seminars revolves around debates
Debates are a good way to critical examine issues related to the course
Debate topics will be posted that correspond to topics covered in lectures as a way of
building on lectures
During seminars, students will individually (or sometimes in pairs) debate for or
against a given topic
These debates must be based on scientific evidence, some of which will be provided
for you, some of which you’ll need to find on your own
Seminars
These debates will also lead to a paper on the topic you debate that includes responses
to questions from the class and arguments from your opponent
I expect to see improvements in the 10 page paper vs. the debate
DO NOT PLAGIARIZE, QUOTE TOO MUCH, OR COPY AND PASTE!
Debates will be evaluated by the TAs/myself and by your peers
Half and half
Peer grade will be the class average
Good evaluations are also part of your grade- they are you seminar participation component

Contrary to a lot of published and popular belief, children have generally been viewed in a
very similar light over the course of history (with some exceptions)
Some are never changing because of the history
Others are always evolving due to the changing and evolution of childhood
Recent construction
Some aspects of childhood are new and evolving, many others have deep roots
Historical Perspectives
Barbie
Stores divide the boys and girls toys that are very easy to recognize
Egyptian Toys
