EDU1031 Introduction to Education


Introduction to Education uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine key issues in American education. In it we will explore questions in American education from the perspectives of psychology, philosophy, history, and sociology and discuss various policies and programs. We will examine each topic through readings, through students’ writing, and through small and large group discussion and activities. Students will develop an awareness of contemporary curriculum theory and practice through work with instructional materials and first hand experience in schools. The course also provides students with an opportunity to explore their personal interest in teaching. Credits: 3.000
