View all EDU classes

Summer 2024

The course provides students with an overview of past developments, emerging trends, relevant research findings, teaching and learning methods, and prominent ideas in global education. The nature and quality of research in global, comparative, and international education represent a particular focus of the course. Students will be expected to participate interactively and to show evidence of reflection on the purposes and design of education as it is organized in societies around the world. A key question organizing the seminar is, how do different approaches to educational theory, practice, and research inform our perspectives on teaching and learning, educational policies and requirements, and expectations of teachers and students in an increasingly interconnected, global society? May be repeated for credit up to 6 credits.
