EDU 245 - Education,Culture and Critical Pedagogy

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

Education, culture and critical theory promote the idea that education is to help students make sense of their world and at the same time help students make sense of themselves in the world. Students are both subjects and objects of education. They are the learner, teacher and the researcher. Through the study of critical theory, this class explores the questions of what education can be, develops skills to uncover what education actually is and deepens students' understanding of the contradictions that have shaped their own and other people's consciousness. This course deepens the students' appreciation of inquiry through literary review and discussion and increases their ability to recognize the ways power operates to create oppressive conditions for some groups and privilege for others. Students gain skills in challenging the more common views of reality
