    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.
