HU 4300 - Philosophy of Education

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
As sustained reflection on the nature and aims of education, the philosophy of education has traditionally been part of the preparation of teachers. Its broader significance has risen with increased recognition of the bearing of questions of education on multiple domains of social concern. The course will consider questions of more general interest than those encountered in the professional education of teachers. Topics include: the relation of education to schooling, the tension between preparation for work and preparation for citizenship, the boundaries of educational authority, educational access, and grading and testing. Special topics may include issues peculiar to higher education and instructional and communication technology.
