This course introduces historical and contemporary perspectives in the learning sciences. Areas of scholarship explored include cognition, behaviorism, and sociocultural approaches. Special attention is paid to the linked histories of these traditions in order to broadly explore what concepts are foundational for critical understanding of cultural, historical, social, embodied, and political aspects of learning. The course explores critiques of relevant fields while also exploring how new ideas and movements are generative for moving research and development toward liberatory aims. Recommended prerequisite: EDUC 6318 or EDUC 8210.
