Course Learning Outcome
CLO 1 -Given a case study, the learner should be able to identify the various neurological developments of learners and the chronology of the steps.
CLO 2 - Given a case study, the learner should also define neurological development, physical development and differentiate the two concepts.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Program Learning Outcome
PLO 1 - The learner should look at self and know the role played by the brain in physical development of a learner.
Major Learning Outcome
MLO 1- Identify the various changes which occur to the learner’s brain during the learning process.
MLO 2- Know how the learner’s brain reacts when they learn a new concept.
MLO 3- Know the various things that affect the brain during learning.
MLO 4- Relate neurological development to psychology
MLO 5- Identify neurological development in learners at various stages of learning and growth.
Behavior Expected of the Learner
Students will analyze their peers during learning and evaluate the neurological developments. In addition to that, students will also be asked to define the various terminologies and ideas in neurological development as well as brain changes. The students will be handed various class assignments and sit-in examinations to test their knowledge on the various things they learn during the course.

Design Document
The lesson will use cases to help students understand the various concepts of psychology and learning. The students will also conduct self-assessment on neurological developments and record them in documents to help them understand the concept.
Students will also be subjected through ‘loud readings’ and be exposed to a variety of distractions to practically identify how the brain is affected by such distractions. Imaginative stories of dilemmas and curiosities will be told to the students to evaluate how they affect their neurological development and brains.
The learning outcome act as a checklist for the student such that he/ she can review what is expected of them and evaluate what they have achieved.
Assessment Criteria
At the end of the course, students will be given examinations to evaluate their mastery of concepts.
