EDU 221 - Contemporary Educational Theory and Practice Instructor
Kelly
This is an introductory course on contemporary educational theory and practice. Using theoretical autobiography as a tool, students will build an understanding of major social theories that have shaped their thinking about educational problems. In addition, students will construct and reconstruct their own theoretical perspective to educational trends and debates in the United States. We will read the primary works of major social and educational theorists, such as Paulo Freire, Pierre Bourdieu, bell hooks, and Peter McLaren. The course requires the completion of a three-part theoretical autobiography, 15 “structured” contact hours in a classroom (public or private school), and a midterm and final review.
