This subject explores children's growth and development from birth to adulthood in terms of a set of four fundamental models. Briefly examining the historial and philosophical antecedents of these models, it takes as its initial reference model the most commonly used approach based on established empiricist principles. The subject goes on to examine a further three alternative but complementary models derived from the clinical tradition, from rationalist principles and from psychodynamic theories and from social constructionist perspectives. The implications of these models will be explored with reference to a selection of critical educational issues. The subject is designed to focus on the preparation of a child or adolescent case study. Students enrolled in this subject will be required to have a "Suitability Card for Child-Related Employment" (Blue Card) issued by the Comission for Children and Young People.
