ASSESSMENT METHODS After this course, useful knowledge must be acquired to describe: what skills characterize us in the various life stages (eg such as perceptual abilities of a newborn), how do we change (for example, how do we develop language and communication skills?), which scientists have been involved in investigating the different aspects of development (for example, who introduced the idea of zone of proximal development?) and what theories have been formulated with respect to why we change (for example, the different theories concerning the cognitive development). The student should have acquired the ability to use this knowledge to understand a real situation that may be proposed or to envisage how to act in it (for example, you're in a Nursery School, with weaned children, which stimuli do you think it is useful to propose and why). The written test consists of a series of multiple-choice questions ( to be done at the computer ) and two open questions. The oral text comprehends at least three questions.
