We will argue that "moral education” is an umbrella term for two quite different tasks and approaches. The first, which might better be called moral "socialization” or "training,” is the task of nurturing in children those virtues and values that make them good people. Of course, good people can make bad judgments; it's often not easy to know what is morally right. The second task of moral education is to provide students with the intellectual resources that enable them to make informed and responsible judgments about difficult matters of moral importance. Both are proper and important tasks of schools—and both cut across the curriculum.

This course is for all those who want to find out what psychology can tell us about the nature and development of children. This study is intended for students of psychology , those training to work with children in a variety of professional roles, or anyone just interested in understanding how children develop.

This course is organized around several questions - or sets of questions - about teaching, learning, and schooling. Together, these sets of questions will lead us through an analysis of what's going on in schools and classrooms today and how teachers should behave to maximize student learning. As you may guess, these are not simple questions or issues and... what makes it more difficult... is that there is enormous disagreement about the answers to these questions! Our course has six units and the units and their corresponding question sets include: Unit 1: What does good teaching look like? Unit 2: What do 21st century schools and classrooms look like? Unit 3: How have we tried to reform education? Unit 4: Is our system of education really in that much trouble? Unit 5: How can kids possibly be bored in school? Unit 6: How can we teach in ways that are deeply engaging?

This course is designed to help the students expand the principles, functions and concepts of educational management and how they apply in their own workplace.

This course can provide educators and aspiring research professionals with knowledge in testing theory, assessment theory and research methodology. Students enrolled in this course learn both how academic tests are designed, structured and implemented and how to assess the effectiveness of any test by measuring its results before making necessary changes.

This course stresses the scientific aspects of educational research that center on hypothesis formulation and hypothesis testing. Students are encouraged to design studies that address important and current educational issues, gather data to shed light on these issues, analyze these data, and derive conclusions based on their analyses. The strengths and limitations of various educational research designs, and the types of instruments used to measure educational outcomes, will be emphasized.

This course provides an overview of learning, motivational, and developmental theories with a focus on their application to the field of education. Educational research addressing the powerful role of the educator, effective teaching strategies, and curriculum decision making are discussed. Theory and research based practices to reach all learners in an educational environment are emphasized.

This course is designed to teach introductory concepts in statistics as applied in the social sciences, particularly education. The course will provide a basic understanding of commonly used statistics to prepare students for more advanced statistics courses. Students will learn both conceptual and technical aspects of location and dispersion measures, regression and correlation, hypothesis testing, z-tests, t-tests and analysis of contingency tables. Proficiency with algebra is helpful; however, no mathematics beyond algebra will be taught in this course.
