HONR 505 - Classic Pedagogy I: Culture of the Class

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Honors College

Description:

Thomas Aquinas argues that teachers uniquely move back and forth between the contemplative life and the active life. First, they love and pursue the truth about certain objects or fields of knowledge. Second, they attempt to nurture a comparable love and understanding within their students. This seminar has three foci, which together addreses this bifid life : (1) the nature of learning (for both teachers and students); (2) the nature and practice of teaching; and (3) the person of the teacher. Each day's session has two parts: (1) the seminar itself, in which we discuss what has been read; and (2) a meta-seminar about that conversation, and how we teachers can better model and lead thoughtful, fruitful conversations.
