RE: EDUC 866 and EDUC 867 Minor Course Changes
DATE: 2013 May 3
For consideration, please find attached minor course changes for EDUC 866-5 and
EDUC 867-5. These changes were approved by the Education Graduate Studies
Committee on January 31st and the Faculty of Education Council on March 25th,
2013.
Rationale for Proposed Number Change: EDUC 866-5 is an advanced qualitative
research course and EDUC 867-5 is the introductory qualitative methods research
course. We are requesting to switch the course numbers of these two courses so that
the advanced course has a higher course number.
If approved, a notation will be entered on the transcripts of students enrolling in
EDUC867 Advanced Qualitative Research in Education noting there was a change in
course number from EDUC 866 to EDUC 867.
This will
explain why some students
have two EDUC 867 courses on their transcripts. It's expected that this will affect a
very small number of students, 15 or less.
We are requesting these changes take effect Spring 2014.
a) Minor Course Changes
i) Change of number from EDUC 866 to EDUC 867-5 Advanced Qualitative
Research in Education; and prerequisite change

RE: EDUC 824. EDUC 825 and EDUC 835 Minor Course Changes
DATE: 2013 Mav 10
For consideration, please find attached minor course changes for EDUC 824-5.
EDUC 825-5 and EDUC 835-5. These changes were approved by the Education
Graduate Studies Committee on March 28 and the Faculty of Education Council on
May 6, 2013.
Rationale for Proposed Changes:
EDUC 824-5 - Description change - The calendar course description is dated and
focuses on a narrower set of ideas than what is currently prominent in the field of
teaching English as an additional language.
EDUC825-5 - Title and description change - "Second Language Learning" is a more
inclusive conceptualization than "Second Language Acquisition" which is mainly
lated with the traditional linguistic and psycholinguistic approaches in the field;
^sM^arning goes beyond schools or "Schooling" so "Education" would be more
appropriately aligned with "Second Language Learning".
^ X^EDUC 845 - Title change - The current calendar title does not reflect one main objective of
this foundational core course, which is to support the students at the time they go through
-.^j.miUvt!})]e simultaneous transitions not only academically but also socially and culturally. The
JT c Qrjo\Vjdtfe-flags the transitional nature of the courseand acknowledges the plurality of the
students" backgrounds and experiences.
We are requesting changes take effect Spring 2014.
