What will I learn?
This course covers the major theories of cognitive development, including Piaget's stage model, Vygotsky's sociocultural framework, and information-processing research, and shows you how to apply each one in real classroom settings. You will explore how memory, attention, language, and executive function develop across childhood and adolescence. You will also examine individual differences such as learning disabilities, giftedness, and cultural influences on cognition. Topics include scaffolding techniques, formative assessment strategies, neuroscience basics, and motivation research. By the end, you will have a comprehensive, evidence-based toolkit for understanding and supporting every learner in your classroom.
