dc.descriptionThis interdisciplinary course is designed to help students gain a deep understanding of adolescence as a life stage. Adolescence is defined in part as a transitional stage, bridging childhood and adulthood; but adolescence also functions as a distinctive time of life during which young people face a series of developmental tasks and challenges that do not automatically disappear when, for example, a person turns 25. Depending on individual circumstances, young people may confront some of the challenges commonly associated with adolescence much earlier or later than some developmental theorists predict. For example, some adolescents face adult tasks like parenting at a very young age, while others postpone closure on their ethnic or gender identity until later in life. For the purposes of this course, the period of adolescence (roughly ages 10-25) will incorporate the time during which many young people separate from their families and become autonomous, participate in independent relationships, develop their own set of values and beliefs, come to sexual maturity, and develop a sense of self related to their gender, ethnicity, race and class. The course will look closely at the steps young people take as they form their identities and become increasingly independent and autonomous individuals. Using literature, TV and film, as well as articles and books from the field of human development, the course will explore how children grow into teenagers, how they survive the challenges of adolescence, and how they become productive adults. We will explore research and theory from the fields of developmental psychology, sociology, social psychology, neurophysiology, genetic studies and other related fields. In addition to learning the content related to this course, students will be introduced to topics in research methods including how to develop research questions, how to search for literature, how to conduct a research study, and how to critically analyze published results. NOTE: This course fulfills the Human Behavior (GB) requirement for students under GenEd and the Individual & Society (IN) requirement for students under Core. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have successfully completed Education 0919.
