PSY 197 Play=Learning: Child Development in Community
This course will introduce students to the ways children across cultures and communities learn and develop through play. With emphasis on learning in contexts outside of the classroom (e.g. at home or in the community), students will learn about how children learn through play, including types of play and factors that facilitate or prevent playful learning (e.g. the role of parents and adults). In addition, students in this course will learn art techniques and about how to design products and spaces for play and learning. This course includes a community-based service project where students will apply art and psychology course concepts to identify, research, build, and evaluate a product (exhibit, research toy, etc.) that children and families will interact with in the local community. Carries an Art lab fee. GE 6 unlinked.
