EDU 420 Advanced Topics in Education
This course is designed to give advanced students a sustained opportunity to refine their specific interests, reflect on their educational experiences at Centre, and complete research projects (either applied or theoretical) using interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary educational issues. This course is also designed to ensure that students minoring in Education leave Centre with a strong ability to think critically about contemporary education issues, use evidence and research to evaluate educational claims, and effectively communicate both their own position on a topic and related research findings. To that end, either individually or in pairs, students will complete a research project that they will present to their peers, program faculty, and (as appropriate) the wider community.
