Ringkasan program

This program is designed to foster the development of educational leaders, researchers, and practitioners who are prepared to approach issues and challenges in education from multiple perspectives and methodologies. LTSP draws on the disciplinary traditions of sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, science, and the cognitive sciences, as well as interdisciplinary fields such as cultural studies, ethnic studies, and feminist, gender and sexuality studies to address contemporary educational policies, practices and curriculum in the K-12 and postsecondary arenas. LTSP is concerned with the most pressing issues facing our educational system today. Chief among these issues are the persistent patterns of educational inequality, particularly in the sciences, as well as the failure of apparently successful students to develop useful understandings of central science and mathematics concepts. The imperative for democratic participation through the development of critical and scientific literacies propels us to study the dynamic interactions between learners and a multicultural society. The faculty and students focus on a variety of research, teaching, and outreach with the aims of: improving practice, understanding the learner in the context of family, community, schools and society, stimulating more equitable social policies and school reform efforts. This program prepares scholars and leaders in education who will work in colleges and universities, government agencies, foundations, and other institutions whose work is focused on formal education. In cooperation with their faculty committee and guidelines in the Field of Education, students design a program tailored to fit their professional interests in Learning, Teaching, and Social Policy. Graduates engage in disciplined inquiry to address problems and issues of importance to the processes of learning and teaching, and issues central to the social, moral, and political contexts in which education takes place.
