EDCS 5010 - History & Philosophies of Education

Examines educational history and philosophy by approaching the two fields as interconnected social moments in a long conversation about the role and purposes of education in the United States. The social practice of education grows out of the explanatory constructs we hold about our history and several philosophical themes relevant to education. Themes include: (a) the various conceptions of human nature, (b) the relationship between the individual and the group or the citizen to the state, (c) the nature of the “good” life, and the nature of knowledge and the processes of knowing. Given that philosophies do not exist and are not created within a vacuum, explores how our history contextualizes the development of our philosophies, that in turn impact the way we develop and carry-out schooling. Also examines select non-western historical and philosophical legacies that impact how education was or was not accessible to historically marginalized peoples.
