Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

examine key concepts and theories across the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains of development

discuss significant changes that occur across an individual's lifespan in the domains of cognitive, psychosocial, and physical development
