SOWK 388 - Human Behavior and Social Environment I
3 Credit(s)
This course covers the study of human development from conception through preadolescence. Special emphasis is placed upon the importance of biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding human behavior. The person-in-environment perspective, along with systems theory, are also important reference points in understanding human development. The course considers how race, ethnicity, culture, gender, and socioeconomic status influence human development and human behavior. Since social workers are frequently called upon to help families with children, students review the common disorders and adjustment problems of childhood, such as separation anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, parental divorce, etc. This course must be completed prior to enrolling in SOWK 480 .
