Description:

Prerequisites: EDS 227 (formerly 327) and Admission to Major; OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Spring Term This course is designed to engage students in integrating the arts, the humanities, and the natural sciences, and to initiate aspiring teachers into the construction of integrated teaching materials and design of appropriate assessment and teaching strategies. Students will have opportunities to become familiar with different aspects of natural science; i.e., science as a process, science as a body of knowledge, science as a set of values, science as a social phenomenon. They will explore themselves as scientific thinkers as they learn science. Similarly, this course will provide students with opportunities to become familiar with processes and ideas relevant to the arts and humanities. Through construction and reflection, they will find the wellsprings of their own art and stories. Students will practice thinking in community as they investigate questions that drive individual inquiry in the sciences, arts, and humanities. Students will use the understandings they gain through these experiences to articulate some important relationships among the arts, the humanities, and the natural sciences; to explore and construct some integrated teaching materials; and to reflect on teaching practices that best facilitate integrated thinking and learning. Each student will propose and carry out an integrated project with children for a minimum of five hours of experience. Course Fee: $25. 1 Course Credit
