EDC&I 505D Seminar in Curriculum & Instruction: Pedagogy of Teacher Education
SLN

Curriculum and Instruction are at the heart of education. All the politically-charged debates about education in a diverse society, the attempts to win access to education for historically-excluded groups, the preservice and inservice education of teachers, the lesson and unit planning, the testing and standards, the discussion about how and where to use technology, the debates over vouchers and charter schools - all this is dependent on fundamental questions of Curriculum and Instruction: 1) What knowledge and skills are most worthwhile and why? 2) How best can they be taught and learned, in what settings and by what means? 3) What opportunities do students have to learn them? In this course, we take up each of these questions and investigate how others prominent in the field of education including faculty in this College of Education have considered issues of curriculum, instruction, and schooling. In grappling with these questions, we will make explicit different conceptions of the purposes of education and how those differences lead to different views of the role of curriculum, instruction, and schooling.

EDC&I 505E Middle East Controversies in Perspective
SLN

This course is designed for those interested in learning and/or teaching about the Middle East. You will learn about the Zoroastrian roots of Iran, the causes of the Iranian Revolution, Iran’s nuclear controversy, history education in Iran, human rights issues, the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, the Iraq war, poetry of Omar Khayyaam and the language of protest. These and other topics will be examined through PERSIA (Politics, Economics, Religion, Social, Intellectual, Arts), incorporating effective teaching methods (Inquiry, Structured Academic Controversy, Take A Stand, Debate, Socratic dialogue, and Concept Attainment) designed to examine and discuss controversial issues, within the framework of democratic education. The framework for examining the issues is guided by the jurisprudential approach that calls for the best case fair hearing of competing view points that provides for a rich spectrum of ideas on issues under examination. In addition, we will use the concepts of grievance, discourse, perversity, futility, jeopardy, J-Curve, enlightened political engagement, explicit, implicit, and null curriculum to study a few of the Middle East controversies.
