EDT-5320: Conceptual Development

This course is focused on children’s ideas and points of view, and on the intersections of learning, teaching and curriculum. Framing questions include: What does it mean to know something? How do children figure things out, and how can we access their evolving ideas? As we consider children’s capacity to make meaning, we’ll reflect on our own role in the learning process and how we, as teachers, can engage children in the critical exploration of subject matter and encourage understanding to develop. The perspectives of Duckworth, Freire, Paley, Piaget, Vygotsky and a range of classroom teachers will inform our thinking, as will research projects carried out with children.
