    This course introduces students to a small but representative sample of basic questions and issues in
    education. Students will examine questions relating to: the concept or idea of education; learning and the
    learner; teaching and the teacher; and more generally, the broader contexts of education. This course also
    introduces students to different ways of exploring educational questions and issues <from philosophical
    and critical analysis, to historical and cross-cultural studies, to empirical research. Students with credit for
    300 and 400 level education courses cannot take this course for credit.
