The course focuses on how values and cognitive development impact teaching and learning. Students will explore contemporary and historical debates about the contents and methods of education. In doing so, they gain an awareness of the different educational values held by individuals, groups, agencies, systems, societies, and cultures. Learning itself will be studied from a variety of theoretical viewpoints including behaviorist, phenomenological and cognitive. Learning will also be studied in relation to educational goals and objectives, assessment, and interferences with the learning process. In Purpose IV, “empowerment” is defined in terms of learning specific content and educational objectives.
