Foundations of Education at Arcadia -- Innovative, in and out of school!
Most master’s programs at Arcadia require at least two of our “foundations courses,” numbered ED501 – ED510, or 517, 625, 677 or 691. Some certifications, programs and concentrations require specific courses, while others encourage students to select appropriate foundations courses in consultation with their adviser. Foundations courses are often excellent choices as electives as well. Foundations courses:
- Establish Educational Studies as a disciplinary and trans-disciplinary framework for intellectual inquiry, self-examination, and the construction of a broad, professional perspective on practice.
- Are applicable to any and all programs in the School of Education, and focus on broad, general issues and questions that are relevant to all possible professional contexts.
They are normative, requiring the understanding of the value orientations and standpoints of all constituencies, present and hidden, for any object of study.
They are critical, requiring the analysis of assumptions both overt and hidden, and the identification of contradictions and inconsistencies among the standpoints and assumptions, and the structures of practice and policy.
