Seminar in Educational Psychology (EdFS 377)
Post Modern Critique of Psych. Theory
Posted: June 28th, 2005 by Charles Rathbone
Class #1, Monday, June 27th
Posted: June 27th, 2005 by Charles Rathbone
I thought the discussions today showed just how divergent we are in terms of our
background experiences,
years on the job,
disciplinary specializations,
program affiliations, sex (thank you, Leo) and
areas of teaching experience (for those of us with teaching experience).
I am looking forward to getting more specific about areas of immediate interest.
Also, I’m thinking we might add a focus on the culture of poverty, particularly generational poverty. Might it be helpful to look at some of what the research literature has to say about what people from vastly differing socioeconomic circumstances do to cope with what society has to offer for them. And, what successful schools and teachers have done with these populations?

4. Participate in class discussions and class comments.
Nightly Readings 20%
1. Read assigned readings each night.
2. Choose a section from one of the readings to focus upon. Write out what it was about that section that caught your eye and why; and how the section connects to other areas we’ve been discussing. Length = one page side single spaced wp.
3. Share your insights with your group.
