Philosophy of Education in Cultural, International and Ecological Perspective:
This course explores fundamental questions about teaching, learning and cultural transmission. Methods used include interactive lecture and discussion, small group discussion, readings, presentations, guest speakers, interviews, and documentary films. The experiential education components of the course include a teaching session: in groups of 2 and with guidance from the course instructor, students will collaboratively plan and give an interactive guest presentation in a classroom at the educational level of their choice (a local elementary school OR a secondary school OR a community organization).

Here is a sample of the philosophical questions we will explore throughout the course …

What should schools be trying to accomplish? What assumptions about human nature lie behind different approaches to education? What is intelligence, creativity, mindfulness? Can they be taught? What roles should music, art, sports, and productive skills education play in schools? What do video games teach? If so, what do they teach, and what role should they play in public education? In what ways is AI a valuable learning resource, and in what ways is it an educational problem?

Are schools contributors to the cultural and economic sources of climate change, or our greatest hope for overcoming them (or both)? What can schools do to help end rather than perpetuate inequality, racism, ethnocentrism, and discrimination on the basis of language, religion, gender, sexuality, body and health? Can education transform the world?
