EDUC 310 - History and Philosophy of Education

3 hours
This course focuses upon the historical and philosophical roots of our educational system and its place in the social, economic, legal, political, and cultural milieu of America. Students will study historical and philosophical issues embedded in current educational practice and controversies, especially as these relate to educating for human flourishing, promoting the values of a democratic society, accommodating the interests of the society and particular groups within it, and the realization of social justice. Students examine the historical and philosophical origins of educational policies and practices in the United States and articulate how history and philosophy shape current and future educational policies and practices.
