| EDUC 359 | 3 | Growing Up in School – Education and Development from a Global Perspective
Counts toward Education for Empowerment Minor & Psychology Minor. Every society devotes substantial resources to shaping children's development, but there are important differences in how children enter into and experience education across cultures. These differences reveal what societies value, fear, and believe about learning and development. By comparing education in diverse societies, we identify both universal features of development and particular ways that different societies promote healthy, competent adults. This course examines how cultural values, family background, educational practices, and historical contexts create different pathways for human development from preschool through adolescence.
