Goals of the Course
The main objective of this course is to know and discuss from various perspectives the meanings and functions of education, both for society and for individual learners. To that end, students will be exposed to research paradigms, methodologies, and issues of comparative education and relevant academic fields. While the course in the autumn semester focused on school-based education, this course will look at educational phenomena in the wider socio-economic, cultural, and political arenas. The questions to be raised include: What does it mean to educate people? And, how is this interpreted from different perspectives? By discussing about these fundamental questions, students will prepare themselves for more empirical and policy-related discussions to be held in the fall semester and, further, to work as professionals in the field of international educational development.

In the first few sessions, methodologies and theories will be reviewed as the basis of social analysis of education. Then, the following sessions will deal with issues regarding schooling, knowledge, and learning. There is no knowledge which is value-free; knowledge taught in official textbooks, included. Therefore, in this class, students are expected to acquire an attitude that considers the meanings of education from comparative and multiple perspectives.
