Module PEDAGOGICAL THINKING

Module code: ED822
Credits: 5
Semester: Year-Long
Department: EDUCATION
International: No
Coordinator: Dr Joe Oyler (EDUCATION)
Overview Overview
 

This module seeks to engage participants in a collaborative, critical and creative exploration of the central concepts, assumptions and considerations involved in 'Pedagogical Thinking'. For the purpose of this module, we will conceive of Pedagogy (or a pedagogy) as a system of educational purposes, principles and practices. As a way of scaffolding our thinking, participants will be asked to develop their own pedagogical framework. We will draw upon our own experience as students and practitioners and make connections to ideas from fields including, philosophy, sociology and psychology. Our inquiry will call on us to confront questions about the status of children in contemporary culture, the privileged status of particular ways of knowing, the role of school in society and the kind of life we deem worth living. A committed and continuous connection to practice (both practical and potential) will ground our inquiry and bring our thinking to bear on our daily lives.
