EDUC 333A: Introduction to Learning Sciences: Understanding Learning and Learning Environments

This course is an introduction to the foundational ideas and origins of the learning sciences as they relate to conceptualizing, analyzing, and improving learning through the complementary work of researching and designing new learning environments, technologies, tools, and experiences. Core perspectives represented include those that are cognitive, situative, sociocultural, developmental, and critical about what, how, and why people learn new ideas and practices in authentic settings. Activities include detailed analysis of readings, learning environments, learning technologies, and emerging field directions.

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 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 371: Social Psychology and Social Change (PSYCH 265)

The course is intended as an exploration of the major ideas, theories, and findings of social psychology and their applied status. Special attention will be given to historical issues, classic experiments, and seminal theories, and their implications for topics relevant to education. Contemporary research will also be discussed. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students from other disciplines are welcome, but priority for enrollment will be given to graduate students. In order to foster a vibrant, discussion-based class, enrollment will be capped at 20 students. Interested students should enroll in the class through simple enroll or axess. There will be an application process on the first day of class if there is overwhelming interest.

EDUC 377F: Disruptions in Education

(Same as GSBGEN 345). This course will explore the contemporary higher education industry, focusing especially on the places where disruptions of all kinds present significant opportunities and challenges for investors, entrepreneurs, and the businesses that serve this huge global market, as well as for faculty, students, and higher education administrators. Using a variety of readings and case studies to better understand recent disruptions and the unbundling occurring across the post-secondary landscape, from outside and inside the academy, both for-profit and non-profit, the course will examine technology in teaching and learning; the future of the degree and alternatives to the traditional credential; accreditation; competency based education; debt and education financing models; investing in the education space; and tertiary products and platforms that serve the student services market. Guests will include higher education leaders and practitioners, as well as investors and entrepreneurs. Attendance at first class meeting is required.

EDUC 377G: Problem Solving for Social Change

(Also GSBGEN 367). Stanford graduates will play important roles in solving many of today's and tomorrow's major societal problems -- such as improving educational and health outcomes, conserving energy, and reducing global poverty -- which call for actions by nonprofit, business, and hybrid organizations as well as governments. This course teaches skills and bodies of knowledge relevant to these roles through problems and case studies drawn from nonprofit organizations, for-profit social enterprises, and governments. Topics include designing, implementing, scaling, and evaluating social strategies; systems thinking; decision making under risk; psychological biases that adversely affect people's decisions; methods for influencing individuals' and organizations' behavior, ranging from incentives and penalties to "nudges;" human-centered design; corporate social responsibility; and pay-for-success programs. We will apply these concepts and tools to address an actual social problem facing Stanford University. (With the exception of several classes on strategy and evaluation, there is no substantial overlap with Paul Brest's and Mark Wolfson's course, Strategic Philanthropy and Impact Investing ( GSBGEN 319), which has a different focus from this one.)
