Developmental Psychology

After taking a general look at psychology and some of its major theories, we will trace psychological thought about the human life by focusing on human development. We will look at models of human development put forward by Saint Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic philosophers, Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg, as well as a few others. Students will not only learn about psychology, they will also learn a lot about themselves.

Cognitive & Moral Development

Cognitive Development: Details of Stage Progression:
I went through the steps of development within each of the stages of cognitive development and had students summarize the progression in one or two sentences, looking for an “organizing principle” that described what was developing in each stage. This is an oral activity. If you missed it, please see me to make it up.
