LEARNING OUTCOMES
RATIONALE
The intent of this change is to open up the course to a broader range of students. While an
introductory
course in philosophy of education (EDUC 230) or study and practice in teacher
education (EDUC 401/402, EDUC 403) is useful as background to EDUC 437, it is not essential.
The material covered is manageable by students from different areas given some Education
experience. Ethical issues apply across the breadth of education.

Knowledge of the nature of scientific knowledge and models is an important part of any students'
intellectual grounding. As such, EDUC 484 is a valuable course to offer to SFU students within
and outside of the Professional Development Program. Upper level non-education students with
some previous work in education or psychology would benefit from the course.

Course investigates the pedagogy and practice of arts for social change, which encourages meaningful
dialogue, action
and leadership through the arts. Students engage in hands-on, experiential learning
through
workshops, creative group work, and dialogue with practitioners. We explore challenges and

RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
There are very few opportunites in post-secondary settings to learn about the pedagogy and practice of arts for social change -
its
pedagogical application, the
ideas that inform it, and current practices around the world, at local (schools, communities) and global levels.
This
course was initiallya Special Topics course co-designed and taught by Drs. Judith Marcuse (Director of SFU's International Centre of
Art for Social
Change) and Lynn Fels (Associate Professor, Arts Education, Faculty of Education) for two consecutive years (Fall 2011,
2010) with full enrollment.
There continues to be numerous requests for the course. The pedagogy and practice of Arts for Social Change
in its various forms (community play, mural, health promotion) is a growing field of interest to students, artists, arts educators, educators,
service providers and community members interested in the arts as a medium for community collaboration, engagement, empowerment
and change in areas of health, social justice, community development, business, law, education, among others. Two significant Candian
books on arts for social change were published in the past year. This proposed course would provide theoretical and experienial learning
for students that provides insight into education, community engagment. collaboration and leadership through the arts. Pedagogy and
Practice of Arts for Social
Change would be of value to students in faculties across the campus and complement their learning in their own
areas of study. Offering the course would open up a new area of pedagogical learning and experience that meets SFU's commitment of
engaging the world.
