3 Credit(s)
This class examines traditions that underlie a developmental, experiential, open-structured approach to education and learning across the life span. Content includes exploration of one's own values and the values reflected in educational programs and practices; the role of education as a tool of oppression and liberation for different groups in society; and personal and political strategies for educational change. Issues and trends are considered from a life-span development, cross-cultural perspective. All ages of learners will also be explored.
