In this study area, students explore psychological principles related to child development encompassing physical, emotional, mental, moral, and social dimensions. The curriculum equips students with foundational knowledge of children's learning predispositions, including those with special needs. By understanding these psychological aspects, educators can better support and facilitate effective learning experiences.
