Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module aims to examine ideas, concepts and theories, pioneering and contemporary, of child development and learning in order to give students a sound theoretical understanding of the key issues in child development between birth and 11 years. This understanding of child development and how it changes over time will allow practitioners to recognise and meet the developmental needs of children effectively.
The aims of this module are to develop knowledge and understanding of children鈥檚 development and learning through:
- Evaluation of key theories of child development between birth and 11 years
- Discussion of the role of observation on childhood research and practice
- Identification of significant concepts, processes and issues in the development of children's learning
- Reflection upon the integrated nature of children's development and learning
- Identification of the process of children鈥檚 development of communication and language and the effect of language on the development of thought
- Consideration of the location of one鈥檚 own role through reflection
- Evaluation of the impact of technology on children鈥檚 lives
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Develop skills for selecting and using appropriate methods for observing a child鈥檚 behaviour, understanding context and noting actions
- Analyse observations, drawing on developmental theory and a range of academic sources, in order to outline a Target Child鈥檚 stage of development and discuss their future developmental needs
- Reflect on your professional responsibility when analysing observations in order to make judgements of children鈥檚 developmental journey within the context of government policy, legislation, statutory and non-statutory guidance and current initiatives

Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
Work-based discussions with the mentor, plus tutorials and placement experience all contribute to formative assessment.
