Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
A further consideration of concepts explored in the EDUC 901 "A" course, with a view to providing students with opportunities to apply these ideas within their own educational settings.
COURSE DETAILS:
This doctoral seminar is conceived of as a sustained inquiry into ideas, notions, theories, and practices that have animated the history of education. For us as current and future educational leaders in various locations of teaching, coaching, guiding, mentoring, administering, this is a critical undertaking. A particular focus of our sustained inquiry and reflection is the question of human nature and identity/image. Different images of humanity, as portrayed in different times and places, call for different theories of what to teach (curriculum) and how to teach (pedagogy). By the same token, whenever society experiences a need to change the image of humanity—a deeply and urgently felt need today—education becomes the site of dialogue and experiment in aims of education, meaning and purpose, nature of knowledge, worldviews, and moral values.
COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:
1) Broadening of perspectives and interpretive conceptual frameworks;
2) Exposure to the world of ideas;
3) Dialogue practice

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
