SCI 6150 - Science Education: Historical and Philosophical Foundations

This course will familiarize students with the history of science education in the United States, leading up to current national reform efforts. This historical approach will provide a foundation to address curricular and literacy issues as well as the relevance of the history and philosophy of those concerns. The course will address two themes or “commonplaces” of education in a science education context-the social milieu and the curriculum.

Credits: 3 hrs.
