EDUC 646 Learning in Context
This course will offer an opportunity to begin to think about how human interaction unfolds in what will be, for most people, an entirely new way. Specifically, in this course we will move away from theories that consider learning to be an act of individual meaning-making understood as mental representation, to those that claim learning to be distributed between people, tools, spaces, and time. This is a significant shift from traditional theories of learning and certainly a shift away from common Western American society assumptions about learning.
This course is for students enrolled in the M.Ed. in Urban Education Program only.
Scheduled: Summer, yearly
