The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles
EDUC 1
3 units of lecture
None
A research-based course on the biological, linguistic, cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions of development among children and
adolescents with focus on the factors affecting learning and their pedagogical implications for teaching
Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
1. Examine in three different perspectives namely developmental contextualism, sociocultural perspective, and evolutionary theory how children and
adolescents develop across their life spans
2. Contextualize the biological, linguistic, cognitive, social, and emotional dimensions of development among children and adolescents to make
learning responsive to their (children and adolescents) needs, preferences, and interests
3. Explain how the PPST-based domains on learning environment and learner diversity contribute to the amalgamation of a teacher’s content
knowledge and pedagogy
4. Write and present a mixed-research (quan-qual) paper on the developmental dimensions among children and adolescents with focus on the factors
affecting learning and their pedagogical implications for teaching

1. Class starts after the 15-minute grace period. You are all expected to be in your seats as your attendance shall be checked strictly.
2. Tardiness of three sessions is equivalent to a 3-hour absence in the course. As much as possible, exhibit interest and enthusiasm
in attending your sessions so you can make the most out of your time. Incurring more than three absences shall mean automatic
withdrawal from the course.
3. The first 1 and 1/2 hours (inclusive of the grace period) of the session is dedicated to lecture-discussions and group circles in
unpacking a needs-based approach to course facilitation. The remaining 1 and 1/2 hours is designed for the assessment tasks.
Activities are negotiable (the minimum requirement given the course outcomes has still to be met) depending on what is more
appropriate as deemed important by everyone.

4. Flexible learning activities shall also be provided where you can accomplish coursework online/offline. You shall be directed to
useful links to optimize learning in the different modalities.
5. Plagiarism shall in way be tolerated in the course. When essentially needed, you all have to give credit to where it is due in
scholarly writing.
6. More than the compliance of requirements, you are all enjoined to share your feedbacks so we can improve the facilitation of
the course. Hence, everything we do as teachers is a work in progress.
