The Global and Exploring Teacher, part-time, 7,5 credits
The UNESCO-inspired, distance course is designed for teachers working in schools or teacher training students wanting to probe into the complex and interdependent matters of education and knowledge, human capacity, culture and development. The course presents different perspectives of the concepts of knowledge and learning, living together and personal development, where UNESCO's four pillars of education, is taken as a starting-point. The course will also include aspects of The Millennium Goals and the concept Sustainable Development. Different educational systems are studied and links to educational planning and implementation will be integrated throughout the modules where appropriate. The importance of education in a world of inequalities, clashing cultures, rapid transformation and globalization is highlighted and analysed. Organizing learning processes and teaching will be carried out through field studies in the student's own environment. Documentation from the field study is subject for discussion and evaluation. The course is built on 6 modules; Introduction course, Learning to know, Learning to do, Learning to live together, Learning to be and a final supervised practical Fieldwork.
