In the role of a participant-observer, each student studies the social and personality development of the children in one classroom at the Gorse Children's Center. Students learn how to articulate developmental changes and individual differences by analyzing detailed observations. Topics include peer relationships, concepts of friendship, emotional development, identity formation, social cognition, and the social and cultural context of development. There is also an emphasis on linking observations of teacher's support for development in the early childhood classroom to educational policy and advocacy.
