Seminar Theories of Learning

Catalog description

This course connects current learning theories with curriculum development, instruction, and assessment practices in the schools. Candidates examine school-based implications of theory and research in such areas as multiple intelligences, developmental stages, and ethical/moral development. This course is neither a methods course (focused on developing a repertoire of teaching and learning activities) nor an educational psychology course (focused on applying experimental research to instruction). It is a seminar in which students read the work of current theorists and practitioners in human learning and explore how knowledge of current of current research can impact educational decisions and instructional practice.
