The purpose of this advanced course is to connect each teacher’s content knowledge with the theoretical and practical knowledge about teaching and learning that they have acquired in the preceding courses in the program. It recognizes that ways of knowing are discipline specific, that is, the diagnostic thinking skills expected of a competent nurse are inherently different from the problem solving approaches expected of a licensed mechanical engineer, or the critical thinking demands placed on students in a humanities class.
Its primary purpose, therefore, is to allow for a detailed analysis and integration of principles, theories and assumptions about learning and instruction that underlie expert knowledge and competence in different disciplines. Participants will continue to devise instructional approaches grounded in a deep understanding of the cognitive, affective and psychomotor processes required to master their discipline.
