EDUC. 361-4 CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AND NEW DEVELOPMENT IN TEACHING 

Fall, 1981 

?

INSTRUCTOR: Dr. David Hopkins 

Wednesday 4:30 - 8:20 

?

LOCATION: on campus 

The aim of this course is to develop in students a critical orientation towards the 

art of teaching. We will attempt to achieve this goal in a number of different 

ways. First, a major attempt will be made to relate the process of teaching to the 

concepts of flexibility and praxis. The resulting theoretical framework will be. used 

not only to conceptualize teaching, but also and secondly as a means of considering 

various contemporary issues and new developments. Third, students will be encouraged 

to relate the issues and ideas discussed during the course in a practical way to 

their own teaching practice. So the course will move through three phases -- the 

establishing of a theoretical framework within which to consider teaching; a discussion 

of various contemporary issues and finally the relating of educational theory 

to educational practice. 

The requirements for the course reflect these phases. A student's final grade will 

be based equally on the following: 

- contribution to seminar discussions, knowledge of the readings 

- an oral presentation on a contemporary issue or—new-development 

in teaching 

- a project that relate educational practice to educational theory 

- a final paper on a topic different from the above. 

Further information about the course may be obtained from the instructor, David 

Hopkins (local 4344 or home 463-4588).
