Content description

This course examines various theoretical perspectives on moral and citizenship education, with particular attention for the political and practical contexts in which moral and citizenship education takes place. The core aim of the module is to connect theory and practice in relation to moral and civic education activities in mainstream education, in various forms of youth and adult education, and in the context of educating professionals: teachers, (teacher) trainers, (spiritual) counselors and educational advisers. The course discusses the complexity of designing and teaching moral and citizenship education in contemporary neo-liberal, pluralistic society.

Formats

The course consist of interactive lectures, seminars  and self-study. The interactive lectures aim to transfer and expand knowledge and insight. The lecturer will offer brief summaries of the literature and will explain the choice of literature with reference to the goals of the study component. In addition, there are interactive moments consisting of collaborative assignments or the presentation of the results of self-study, after which plenary reflection takes place. During the seminars, students perform practical exercises and design and present an educational activity. They will also meet practitioners.

Examination

The final assignment is a closed book exam,  and an educational design created during seminars. 

The exam is evaluated with a grade. The educational design is evaluated with a pass/fail.

Worldview, academic and professional educationThe module contributes in particular to the connection between academic, philosophical and professional education. The concept of normative professionalization is central to this.
  • Academic training focuses on interdisciplinarity (sociology, philosophy and psychology) in educational studies and on the independent search of for scientific sources and academic literature (literature study and the substantiated formulation of a theoretical standpoint).
  • Professional training concerns the translation of theoretical knowledge into a well-argued educational design, as well as critical reflection on policy documents and educational practices.

Prerequisites

None
Relationship Education and ResearchThe themes and literature choices aim to provide a general overview of the educational field and to connect to research by UvH lecturers and their PhD students on educational practices.
Relationship Theory-PracticeStudents are expected to approach the assignments as future trainers / teachers / researchers while they learn theoretical perspectives and apply these to designing educational activities.
Opportunities for SpecialisationThe student is free to decide the subject of the concluding paper. This offers an opportunity for specialization.
