ANTH 202: Foundations for Teaching:Anthropology of Education
3.00 Credits
William Paterson University of New Jersey
This course uses the anthropological approach to study schools and to understand the relationship between learning, teaching, schooling, and culture. It offers a holistic view of educational processes by exploring biological and cultural aspects of the acquisition, transmission and production of knowledge. It uses a comparative framework to analyze the connection between educational systems and socio-cultural contexts, and to explore the roles schools play as agents of continuity, conflict, and change in situations of cultural contact and in the new global order. Through field-based projects, students will apply the anthropological perspective to explore their own interests in education and to gain a first-hand understanding of the challenges and rewards of teaching in contemporary schools.
