EDUC 32 Learning and Education Across Cultures

What role does culture play in human learning and development? Do differences in learning and schooling across cultures lead to disparities in learning outcomes? We will (i) explore the influence culture has on cognitive, social, and moral development, (ii) consider the diversity of views and practices regarding learning and education across cultures, (iii) examine differences in academic systems and achievement across countries, and (iv) discuss the implications for educational policy and practice in the US. Open to all classes.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
