ECC 795 - Immersion Experience (3)

Prerequisite:ECC 790

This semester course is a comparative review of modern educational systems and learning experiences in different demographic areas/countries. Candidates will research the educational landscape of a geographic area (rural/urban/global) in which they will spend a minimum of two weeks and up to 8 weeks integrated into an unconventional setting. During the immersion experience students will observe, reflect, compare, contrast, and discuss the ways in which educational systems have been influenced and evolved. The rise of globalization and the information economy and their effect on modern educational theory as well as educational systems will be viewed as an important backdrop. More recent attempts to reshape schooling in the light of emergent educational philosophies will also be explored. This course can be taken any time prior to EDU 915 PLC #2.
