| Title |
Adolescence: Vulnerabilities and opportunities of the teenage brain |
| Description |
Content: In this seminar, we will address the vulnerability and great potential of adolescents. Adolescence lasts longer than ever and the teenage brain is amazingly malleable. These new insights underscore the importance of this developmental period (about age 13 to 24) for a person's success and satisfaction in life. Moreover, these new insights call for a rethinking of how we interact with adolescents, how we educate and teach them - that is, how and as what we understand them to be.
This course provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the most current research in the field of adolescence. Among other things, we will look at research on brain plasticity, specific behavioral aspects of adolescents (such as increased preference for novelty seeking, high risk taking, intense emotions and impulsivity, and increased reward sensitivity, creativity, and curiosity), and also consider research on the specific role of peer relationships. In addition, we will critically discuss implications for parents, educators, and society in general.
Requirements: This seminar requires a high level of continuous and active participation. In each session (6 x 4 lessons), an interactive exchange about the English literature is expected. In addition, students will take over part of each seminar session as experts in small groups. For the grading of the 5 ECTS, the small group work, a presentation of an empirical study as well as a test at the end of the semester will be considered. No more than 1 missed appointment (4 lessons)!
