ED 590C - Dance Education Methods and Materials (3)
Learners will engage in interpreting teaching and learning practices by looking through different filters of analysis. Each filter represents theories or principles that underpin educative practices and generate inquiry into what is real, what is good and what constitutes knowledge. Rather than perpetuating a right or wrong way of teaching, this course instead aims to reveal that what we perceive and conceive is related to the perspective we take especially in the field of Dance. This course prepares the students to interact critically as they progress through the M.A.T. in Dance Program and future courses via the development of concepts and skills for understanding teaching and learning in the Department of Education. This course will introduce a narrow set of filters mainly derived from educational and pedagogical theories. The purpose of such is to concurrently introduce learners to pertinent systems of belief that could be expected to be encountered in education-centered learning cultures (K-12 systems, post secondary education, etc.) Hence, this course investigates teaching and learning in, through and about dance particularly within educational contexts. Class sessions are seminar and movement based and will include a mixture of active interaction, written/oral assignments, group discussion, and lecture.
