Synopsis

Students  will  be  given the opportunity to study a)  various  ideas,
theories and practices concerning children, their place in society and
their  education; b) how prevailing attitudes in a particular  society
have  influenced why and how various educational systems and  theories
developed and who and how changes in educational practices have  taken
place.

Further,  by examining various ideas developed throughout  history  by
selected  educational theorists, students will  be  able  to  identify
theories  underpinning many of the assumptions made about contemporary
practices.
