EDUC 342: Child Development and New Technologies

Focus is on the experiences computing technologies afford children and how these experiences might influence development. Sociocultural theories of development as a conceptual framework for understanding how computing technologies interact with the social ecology of the child and how children actively use technology to meet their own goals. Emphasis is on influences of interactive technology on cognitive development, identity, and social development equity.

EDUC 346: Research Seminar in Higher Education

This seminar introduces and elaborates a "pathways" heuristic for studying and improving progress through higher education. Provides an overview of novel computational tools for modeling academic progress; classic and contemporary theoretical insights for theorizing progress; and research nationally and internationally that partakes of the pathways imagery. Students are encouraged to design and/or pursue their own research in seminar, with critical peer review among their colleagues.

EDUC 347: The Economics of Higher Education

(Same as GSBGEN 348) Topics: the worth of college and graduate degrees, and the utilization of highly educated graduates; faculty labor markets, careers, and workload; costs and pricing; discounting, merit aid, and access to higher education; sponsored research; academic medical centers; and technology and productivity. Emphasis is on theoretical frameworks, policy matters, and the concept of higher education as a public good. Stratification by gender, race, and social class.

EDUC 354: School-Based Decision Making

Leadership as it plays out in the pragmatic demands and tensions of site-level decision processes. School decision-making as a capacity-building challenge with focus on the complex interdependence of factors critical to school achievement and equity outcomes: governance, culture, curricula, resource alignment, inquiry, community engagement, and multi-cultural competence.

EDUC 355: Higher Education and Society

We examine unprecedented scrutiny and critiques of US colleges and universities. How have expectations changed? How have campus leaders and faculty responded? Who is served, what is taught, what research is prioritized, and what public impact is envisioned-contributing to democracy via access, education for citizenship and employment, producing reliable knowledge, serving as a community partner. Sources are readings, group work, and speakers. The seminar is designed for graduate students across the university. Undergraduates and postdocs need the instructor's permission.

EDUC 357: Science and Environmental Education in Informal Contexts

There are ever-expanding opportunities to learn science in contexts outside the formal classroom, in settings such as zoos, museums, and science centers. How are issues around science and the environment presented in these contexts, how do people behave and learn in these contexts, and what messages do they take away? This course will cover the learning theories and empirical research that has been conducted in these settings. Case studies of nearby science centers will add an experiential dimension.

EDUC 360: Child Development in Contexts of Risk and Adversity

This course provides an overview of theoretical and methodological issues pertaining to the study of child development in contexts of risk and adversity. We will begin by discussing different approaches to conceptualizing and measuring exposure to risk and adversity as well as conceptualizing and measuring children's adaptation. We will review different theoretical frameworks and empirical models that researchers employ to identify factors and processes that are associated with resilient or maladaptive developmental outcomes and trajectories over time. Finally, we will discuss how exemplar biological, family, school, cultural, and economic processes contribute to our understanding of children's adaptation and resilience. Throughout the course, we will discuss limitations of current research, directions for future research, and the translation of research findings for practitioners and policy makers. We will also consider equity issues relevant to studying adversity and adaptive functioning in diverse groups of children. Students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in the course to develop a research proposal that is aligned with their own interests and work.

EDUC 366: Learning in Formal and Informal Environments

How learning opportunities are organized in schools and non-school settings including museums, after-school clubs, community art centers, theater groups, aquariums, sports teams, and new media contexts. Sociocultural theories of development as a conceptual framework. Readings from empirical journals, web publications, and books.Collaborative written or multimedia research project in which students observe and document a non-school learning environment.

EDUC 368: Cognitive Development in Childhood and Adolescence

This course aims to broaden and deepen students' understanding of cognitive development from the prenatal period through adolescence. It will examine various theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues pertaining to different domains of cognitive development, such as neurobiological plasticity, infant cognition, theory of mind, memory, language, and executive functions. Throughout the course, as we survey research findings, we will discuss (1) methods that researchers have employed in their study of cognitive development; (2) limitations of current research and directions for future research; and (3) translation of research findings for practitioners and policymakers.
