I would like to recommend that we change the name of EDUC
474
from
"Designs for Learning: Social Sciences" to "Designs for Learning:
Social Studies." This might seem trivial -- probably is -- but
will make our title accord better with what is done in the curriculum
in B.C. and elsewhere. There was a period when Social Studies was
considered by many to be properly made up of material from the Social
Sciences. This is no longer the case in general; the present title
suggests a rather old fashioned view and causes some confusion for
Social Studies teachers. I'd be grateful if you will put this on
your next U.P.C. agenda. I raise it now because I'm writing DISC
474,
and in dealing with the past emphasis on deriving content from Social
Sciences there is some embarassment having our course name suggesting
such an orientation.

Proposed Split in EDUC. 406-5 Into Two
?
Course Numbers
It is proposed to split EDUC. 406-5 Professional In-Service Practicum
into two course numbers. This will avoid any confusion and better
communicate the intent of the course for the two distinct groups
of students for whom the current offering is intended.
CURRENT CALENDAR ENTRY
EDUC 406-5 Professional In-Service Practicum

B.C.
school system, a supervised
practicum in an accredited instructional setting is provided. (Please
refer to Professional Programs section of the calendar for further
information and procedures).
(2)
for practising teachers who wish to implement new curriculum or
instructional techniques in their own classrooms, a supervised prac-
ticum is offered in conjunction with other University coursework.
(Please refer to Undergraduate Programs section of the
-
calendar
for
further information and procedures. Permission of the Director of
Undergraduate Programs is required).
Prerequisites: Education 405 or equivalent. Permission will not be given
to students without previous teaching experience. Grading will be on a
Pass/Withdrawal basis.

Attached to this memorandum is the new course proposal "Law in the
Curriculum". This is a course that the Faculty agreed to develop and offer on
a regular basis through the Law Related Teacher Education grant from the B.C.
Law Foundation. We are now nearing the end of the second full year of the
grant. As part of our commitment to the Law Foundation, we have developed
this new course propsal for approval by the Undergraduate Programs Committee
and by the Faculty, before being sent on for university approval.
I must clarify that the Law Foundation has provided "in principle" approval
for four years of funding. These funds, inter alia, provide for-all the
direct instructional costs -- stipends for sessional instructors, honoraria,
xeroxing, library development costs, and general program support costs. So
for the current and following two years (January 1986 - December 1987) this
course will be offered at no cost to the university. At that time the fiscal
responsibility for offering this course will revert to the Faculty of
Education, subject to the usual constraints of sufficient enrolment and other
fiscal exigencies.

PROPOSAL ?
0
We request that the course "Law in the Curriculum" be granted permanent
status in Undergraduate Programs in the Faculty of Education.
RATIONALE
1)
Legal topics, concepts and skills currently form a substantial
component of the B.C. school curriculum -- in particular through the
new Consumer Education courses, the recently revised K-12 Social
Studies curriculum, and the Law 11 course (the second most popular
secondary elective). Teachers of these subjects, however, are not
adequately prepared to teach law. Only a few short-term workshops are
offered by legal organizations. Implementation of the credit courses
described below will substantially improve this situation.
2)
The faculty has offered differing versions of this course four times
before as "Special Topics" courses. It was first offered as
EDUC- 487-4: Curriculum Development in Legal Education in the "Summer
Institute on Training Teachers to Teach Law" held in July/August, 1981
(see attached brochure). Through the grant from the Law Foundation it
was again offered in the 1984 Summer Session as EDUC 487-4: Law in
the Curriculum as part. of the "Summer Institute on Law" (see attached
brochures); as EDUC 487 (same title) in the Fall 1 84 semester evening
program and, most recently, it was offered in the 1985 Summer Session
as part of this year's Summer Institute (see attached brochure).
3)
The agreement between Simon Fraser University and the Law Foundation
of British Columbia provides that this course will be forwarded for
approval to the appropriate committees and to Senate so that it can
become
'
a formal
part
of the course offerings of the Faculty of
Education.
4)
The course will appeal to both prospective and practising teachers.
Students will take this course during the on-campus portion of the
Professional Development Program. It will also be taken to fulfill.
part of the requirements of a Bachelor's Degree in Education or as
part of a minor concentration in Education. Practising teachers will
also take this course to increase their qualifications and to broaden
their professional background.

every student has a right to be 'legally
literate', to possess that. minimum amount of
information needed by citizens to understand
how their legal system works and how it can
work for them."
(D. Schimmel)

resolved and student participation is sought.

Instructor: David Bell
Monday, 4:30 - 8:20
?
Location: MPX 8651
OBJECTIVES:
Recent developments in microelectronics have hastened the
arrival of computers in the classroom. This course will
examine the various ways that computers might influence the
teaching-learning process and classroom management.
Students in this course will:
a)
develop competencies in the operation of microcomputers.
b)
develop skills related to the selection, evaluation and
utilization of computer-based learning materials.
c)
develop an awareness of the ways computers can be used to
support the instructional and administrative tasks of
teachers.
d)
develop a critical awareness of the role of computers in
society and the implication of this for education.
This is an introductory course in which students will
develop a level of computer literacy sufficient for the
intelligent and critical utilization of existing
microcomputer hardware and software. It is not a course
designed to prepare teachers to teach computing science
courses nor will it prepare teachers to write
computer-assisted learning materials.
OUTLINE OF TOPICS:
16
Operation of Microcomputers
a)
components and their function
b)
connecting peripheral devices
c) programs and programming
2.. Modes of computer utilization
a)
the computer as instructor
b)
the computer as laboratory
c)
the computer as object of study
d)
the computer as teachers aide
• ?
3. Selection and utilization of software
a)
sources of materials
b)
evaluation of courseware
c) integrating computers in the curriculum
4. Computer literacy
a)
print and non-print materials on computers
b)
role of computers in schools and society
c) status of computers in B.C. schools
•
d) use and misuse of computers in education
COURSE ACTIVITIES:
Course activities will consist of lectures, demonstrations,
readings and laboratories.
EVALUATION:
Evaluation will be based on:
1. a paper reviewing the application of computers in a
selected curriculum area (10 pages)
2. a critical evaluation of a piece of software (software
review) (2-3 pages)
3.
short tests related to the lectures and readings
