EDMA 5093 - Foundations of Learning

3 credits

In this course, candidates will explore the philosophical, psychological, and historical foundations of education, considering questions such as: How do humans learn? What are the purposes of education, and how have they changed over time? Why is schooling structured as it is? How have issues of equity and justice shaped the ways that we teach? Ultimately, this course is designed to provide candidates with a theoretical framework for understanding contemporary educational systems and their places within them.
