Social Issues in Education
SEMESTER:
?
Summer Session (July - August, 1974)
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION: Social issues that influence educational practice are
complex and require a multidisciplinary approach to them: concepts must be clarified,
assumptions and value judgments must be examined, and empirical evidence must be checked
and weighed.
The aim of this course is to build the social background (part 1) against which
specific educational issues (part 2) will be discussed systematically and usefully.
