This course will explore main theories of religion from the multidisciplinary scientific (including social sciences) and theological perspectives. A study of the origin and development of religious phenomena that consist of several classic attempts to develop comprehensive theories of religion as well as new theories by modern hard natural sciences such as genetics and neurology. Scientific theories considered will include those of Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Sigmund Freud, B. Malinowski, E.E. Evans-Pritchard, Edward Taylor, James Frazer, among others. On the theological and philosophical side, we will discuss the classical theologies of S. Augustine and S. Thomas Aquinas, samples of modern theologies such as those of Paul Tillich and Romano Guardini, and recent trends displaying more holistic approaches, i.e. ecotheology, feministic theology, neurotheology. These new trends suggest a new concept of religion that may be seen through a more dynamic, relational and organic perspective in which all these theories are brought together. Readings will be a combination of original writings of these figures and secondary scholarship about their views on religion.

2.00 Credits
Pre- or co-requisite: EDUC 251 This course is an introduction to the field of science education for students intending to teach in grades preK-6. As a foundational course in science education methodology, this course provides a standards-based exploration of topics such as constructivism, conceptual change, inquirybased instruction, traditional and alternative assessments in science, and national and state science standards. Students will be required to complete 20 hours of supervised observation in a preK-8 science classroom.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: SCIE 300 This course provides a standards-based exploration of the content and teaching methods in physical science necessary for the preK-6 classroom. Building on the foundational methods discussed in SCIE 300, this course provides students the opportunity to actively learn in an inquiry-based format, as well as to create and teach inquiry-based lessons in physical science. Laboratory exercises will be a critical component of the course. Topics covered will include matter, heat, magnetism, light, sound, static and current electricity, and simple machines, among others. (This course may partially satisfy the General Education laboratory science requirement for students in the preK-6 licensure program only.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: SCIE 300 This course provides a standards-based exploration of the content and teaching methods in earth and space science necessary for the preK-6 classroom. Building on the foundational methods discussed in SCIE 300 and SCIE 310, this course provides students the opportunity to actively learn in an inquiry-based format, as well as to create and teach inquirybased lessons in earth science. Laboratory exercises will be a critical component of the course. Topics covered will include rocks and minerals, oceans, weather, aerial and space flight, and astronomy, among others. (This course may partially satisfy the General Education laboratory science requirement for students in the preK-6 licensure program only.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: SCIE 300 This course provides a standards-based exploration of the content and teaching methods in life science necessary for the preK-6 classroom. Building on the foundational methods discussed in SCIE 300 and SCIE 310, this course provides students the opportunity to actively learn in an inquiry-based format, as well as to create and teach inquiry-based lessons in life science. Laboratory exercises will be a critical component of the course. Topics covered will include biological classification, characteristics of living organisms, plant and animal life cycles, fundamental concepts in human biology, nutrition and exercise, environmental resources, and conservation of natural resources, among others. (This course may partially satisfy the General Education laboratory science requirement for students in the preK-6 licensure program only.)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: permission of instructor This course permits students more in-depth exploration of a topic(s) in Science Education not covred in a regularly scheduled class. This could range from literature discussions to involvement in research experiences. May be repeated up to 2 times for 1-3 credit hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EDUC 251, either BIOL 398 or CHEM 498, and admission to the Teacher Education Program This course is an introduction to teaching methods in Science Education for students intending to pursue secondary licensure in Biology or Chemistry for grades 6-12. As a foundational course in science education methodology, this course provides a standards-based exploration of topics as constructivism, conceptual change, inquiry-based instruction, traditional and alternative assessments in science, and national and state science standards. In addition, methods for teaching discipline-specific content (including hands-on laboratory activities) will be addressed. Students will be required to complete 20 hours of supervised secondary classroom observation in a biology or chemistry classroom. (SCIE 440 will not satisfy the General Education requirement nor count toward a major or minor within the Department of Natural Sciences.)
