Title Cognitive Development
Description The Master's course in Cognitive Development has been completely redesigned compared to previous years. Students are required to independently familiarize themselves with 6 selected areas of cognitive development during the first half of the semester. For this purpose, specific podcasts are provided and selected chapters in Bjorklund and Causey's book "Children's Thinking" must be worked on (chapters 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12).
In the second half of the semester, the previous knowledge is applied and deepened within the framework of face-to-face appointments on the basis of practical examples (twin premature birth, executive functions, delayed language development, a case of a child as an eyewitness, a girl with reading and spelling difficulties, intelligence development of a child with a migration background). In the sense of a "problem-based-learning approach", concrete case studies are given and key questions on anamnesis, diagnostics and intervention are dealt with. Extensive additional materials will be made available during the face-to-face sessions (slides, further information, anonymized findings) and discussed. In order to be able to actively participate in the attendance dates, the content preparation is expected in the first half of the semester.
The following attendance dates have been set: 29.2. Introduction and organisational matters; 11.4., 18.04., 25.4., 2.5., 16.5. und 23.5.23.
The exam for 5 ECTS will take place during the Master's examination week on site, but with your own laptop. The exam will include classic yes/no questions and open-ended questions. Overall, the open questions will form the focus of the grading in terms of points.
