History of Western Education 서양교육사 on the cultural history of education traditions in the "west"

A survey of significant developments in the theory and practice of education in the so-called "Western" world, emphasizing in particular the social and cultural contexts of each place and time period.

Particapants in this course are challenged to appreciate the distinct aesthetics, ideals, and cultural dynamics which influenced the theory and practice of education in Europe and the Americas in order to critically investigate the canonical narratives of Western history and its major controversies. In examining the various ways education was conceived historically, participants are encouraged to evaluate what this history implies about the way education is realized in the historical moment we inhabit today, and to consider what alternatives may be possible in the future.
