REGULAR SEMESTER 1980
?
INSTRUCTOR: David Hopkins
Monday,
4:30 - 8:30
Using an experiential approach, this course will assist the student:
- to develop competencies related to curriculum?
development, evaluation and implementation
- to gain theoretical and practical understanding
of curriculum and its implications for education
and society
- to develop curriculum related to his/her own
subject area age group and professional needs
- to internalize a model of self-education applicable
to both institutional and non-institutional settings
and life long learning
These goals will be developed through the following activities:
- class presentations and workshops
- individual and group negotiated contracts on competencies
related to curriculum development
- critical discussion of related readings
- consultations with community resources, experts in
the field and other members of the teaching profession
Requirements for the course will be met through contracts, negotiated with the
instructor, which focus on the acquisition of competencies relevant to curriculum
development. These negotiated contracts will also form the basis of the letter
grade assigned at the end of the course.
Textbooks for the course are:
