EDUC 214 - Theories of Teaching and Learning

An exploration of how selected cognitive theorists have defined learning and a critical examination of how teachers teach. Questions asked include the following: What is learning? How does a teacher’s definition of learning influence how he or she actually teaches? What are current ideas about effective teaching for all students to learn? Students are asked to examine their own assumptions about these issues and engage in teaching both in and out of this class. Through participation in the lab component, this class satisfies 10–30 hours of the 100 required school-based fieldwork for students seeking teacher certification.
