Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The courses of “Foundations of International Education Development I and II” are designed to generate an overall understanding of major theories and practices of international education development, which are indispensable when seeking solutions to socio-economic and other related issues in both developed and developing countries. "The Course I" mainly explains theories behind the different views of education in development, often grouped into “education for development,” “development of education,” and “education and development.” It also touches upon other dimensions of education development, such as international cooperation in education, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, and peace education. Successful completion of these courses will enable students to: 1) theoretically explain the importance of international education development from various perspectives, 2) discuss major issues of education development, along with some possible solutions. Students should take both courses of I and II to attain the expected goals.
