Description:
The student will explore important events in the history and philosophy of American education from colonial times to the present. While every aspect of American educational history and its philosophical underpinnings will not be discussed in depth, students will examine various economic, social and cultural themes in this course, some in great detail. This study will discuss the branches of philosophy and how they relate to educational theories and procedures and survey educational theories, practices, and procedures in American education. Students will examine mainstream educational policy, the treatment of blacks, Native Americans, immigrants, and women, and review how critical attitudes towards educational policies have changed through the years. The general purpose of this study is to introduce students to the philosophical heritage and the evolving historical development of the contemporary educational system. Critical reading skills and the ability to analyze and evaluate primary and secondary historical sources and produce written interpretations will be emphasized. For advanced credit, the student will be expected to produce a research paper which incorporates an effective argument.
