Secondary School Curriculum Dr. Gary Stiler
Summer 03
Coarse Description:
Examines the philosophical and societal bases for the development
of curriculum theories and practices in education. This course also analyzes
curriculum issues relevant to teaching in contemporary secondary schools.
Evaluation:
This course opened
my eyes to many of the resources found in the Evansville area that could
be used in education. We visited the Old Post Office, the Farmer's Market,
Willard Library, Carver Center, and New Harmony to expand our thinking
in planning curriculum. We found articles in our subject area and then discussed
how storytelling, constructivism, problem-based learning, local funds of
knowledge, hands-on activities, service learning, and cooperative learning
should be used in curriculum planning.
