How does a child’s mind and behaviour change as they develop over time? In this unit four theories of child development are explored. Each theory views child development from a different perspective and all have underpinned psychological research for many years, and continue to do so today. By the end of this unit you will have a good understanding of each of the theories and will probably have begun to challenge your own assumptions about how your own children, or children you know, have developed over time.
After you have studied this unit you should be able to:
- describe the key features of behaviourist, social learning, constructivist and social constructivist theories of development;
- evaluate critically these four theories;
- illustrate their application to practical issues in child development.

In the past I have been able to print off a record of these courses but even although I am enrolled on 'Explore Childrens' Learning' there is no record in my profile.

Hi Rosemary, the technical team have checked your past and present unit list and Explore children's learning is listed. It appears that the problem is that your units are not being shown, if you e-mail openlearn@open.ac.uk they will send you an instruction sheet on how to change your settings. Unfortunately this is something that cannot be done by the team.
Many thanks Rosemary and I hope this solution works for you.

I have not been on the OpenLearn site in a long time. The new format is quite a shock and I almost gave up trying to locate this course. I and some friends of mine are going to work through it together. We have all found that when we enrol for courses by ourselves we never finish, kind of like all those books I buy and never read. Good intentions but nothing more.
Anyway, I guess we will used to this format as it is what it is now - very modern. I just hope I can find this class again. So much for Behaviourisn...

Great, I've come across behaviourism, social learning and social constructionism in other modules before.Am rest assured I can easily take ED209 along with another 15/30 credit module now.
