Summer Session, 1978.

practice in programs for young children. Three separate areas of research
and theory in child development will be examined, and their implications for
teaching will be explored. The emphasis will be upon the practical application

teaching in kindergarten and the primary grades. Class activities will include
brief lectures, film and videotape presentations, and small group projects.
Requirements for this course will include: approximately 150 pages of
reading per week, a minor and a major paper, and a final examination.
