人性本質的開端是善或惡？成長與改變的原因是源自遺傳或環境？人類發展的過程是如小樹苗漸成大樹般的量變、還是如毛毛蟲變成蝴蝶般的質變？這些哲學爭辯顯示了同一個發展現象背後可能有不同的立場，因而需以縱貫追蹤或橫跨不同世代的跨齡研究設計探討人類發展的本質。此外，發展心理學欲瞭解的對象往往包括無法聽從研究者指示、或無法以語言、文字充分表達自己的嬰幼兒與兒童，因此需以特殊的研究派典才能回答發展趨勢、發展歷程是否為連續、以及個別差異是否隨發展保持穩定等議題。因此，本課程的主旨有二，一為說明各種看待發展的哲學觀、另一則為介紹發展心理學的研究設計與方法。

發展心理學所涵蓋的研究領域及關心的年齡層包括哪些？本模組將介紹「發展」的意義以及發展心理學家所關心的發展議題，並將以「人生到處知何似，應似飛鴻踏雪泥，泥上偶然留指爪，鴻飛那復計東西」說明發展心理學家研究「發生」、「發展」、及「改變」的規則的重要性。

人類發展到底源自先天、還是後天？本模組的第一部份將從「個體發生的初始狀態」及「個體發展的動力由何而來」兩個議題介紹先天與後天的哲學爭論。除將介紹西方哲學與宗教的思潮對個體發展的不同看法之外，也介紹中國古代的訓蒙典籍中對先天與後天的看法。最後則舉例說明單一的發展心理學理論如何可在「初始狀態」、「發展動力」兩個議題上分別嵌入先天、後天的不同假說。 人類發展的一般趨勢中，到底是被動地、機械性地累積經驗；還是隨著人類基因藍圖所鋪序的成熟過程而主動整合並創造經驗？本模組的第二部份將介紹「視發展為逐步累積的量變」的連續觀、與「視發展為個體主動整合經驗而產生質變」的不連續觀。此外，個體發展難免有個別差異，有些差異會隨著發展而穩定存在、有些差異則隨發展而有所更動。本模組將介紹先天與後天因素如何可分別及共同影響個別差異的發展穩定性。並解釋關鍵期/敏感期與個別差異穩定性的關聯。

對發生的初始狀態、發展的動力、發展的一般趨勢、或個別差異的穩定性等哲學假設，都需要靠實徵資料才得以檢驗。然而，未成年的嬰幼兒或兒童往往無法聽從研究者的指示而做反應，也無法以語言、文字充分表達自己看得見或聽得見什麼，喜歡或偏好什麼，更別說表達自己的行為與態度有何特性。因此發展心理學家設計了不同的研究派典，以便能精準捕捉嬰幼兒與兒童的知覺、認知、語言、及社會情緒的歷程。

想要探討「發展的趨勢連續與否」、「發展的個別差異穩定與否」的議題，甚或只是想描繪「不同年齡的發展里程碑」，勢必都需要取得跨越不同年齡的資料。但要如何設計研究與招募不同年齡的參與者才不致使跨年齡的資料受到世代差異與測試時間差異的污染，就需要透過特殊的發展研究設計才能解決了。本模組將介紹「縱貫追蹤設計」、「橫斷設計」、「序列設計」三種方法，及其優點與缺點。 此外，本模組也將介紹為了捕捉特定行為或概念如何逐步改變的「短時序設計」。最後，本課程也將簡介對未成年族群進行研究的特殊倫理考量。

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
