    Range of Topics: Educational talk is filled with contrasts: education vs.
    traTninq, development vs. learning, divergent vs. convergent thinking,
    difference vs. deficit, concrete vs. abstract, socialization vs. self-
    actualization, Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, teacher-centered vs.
    child-centered, and so on. There is a tendency to treat these dichotomies
    as moral issues, to be discussed in terms of
    g
    ood and had. The emphasis of
    this course will be on clarifying these concepts so that they can be used for
    constructive thinking rather than for name-calling.
