| Details: This course will show STEMteach students that our current understanding of science and mathematics and its pedagogy was advanced by the struggles of diverse people, on the basis of often-conflicting criteria and interests. By studying the history of science, mathematics, and pedagogy, students will learn how such approaches were originally developed, contested, and accepted. Students will also get a sense of how these fields of study will continue to evolve. In this way, the Perspectives course aims to foster an understanding that science and mathematics and the best approaches to teaching these fields are not finished or set in stone. Prerequisites: UTCH 706. (W) |
