Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:37:41 -0000

It has been noted that learning and development occur through the agency of other human beings. At different times, these other human beings may be parents, friends, school teachers, or university faculty. The education they provide may be not only in school classrooms, but also within families and communities, or in cyberspace. The Faculty of the Education Department is vitally concerned with these essential human transactions, how they occur, what effects they have, and what affects them. Our faculty also is vitally concerned to prepare the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and scholars in the several fields of education. In this pursuit, we want our students to understand not only education in school classrooms, but also, in the broader, and increasingly multicultural, multilingual, and digital world we occupy. So, our students explore different angles of vision; they observe the differing effects of schools and institutions, the mediating effects of culture and language, the facilitating or constraining effects of leadership and public policy, and the profound effects of human differences. Through its research and teaching, the faculty mentors each individual student, works to elevate them as educators, and inspires in them enduring commitments to learning, scholarship, and excellence.

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:34:40 -0000

The specialization in Language, Literacy, and Technology prepares scholars to carry out research in a broad range of areas related to language and literacy development, the use of information and communication technology in education, and the intersection of technology use and language/literacy development.

Students in this specialization will take course work on or independently investigate topics such as second language learning, reading and writing development, the use of computers and the Internet in language or literacy instruction, online learning, videogames and learning, and the development of information and multimedia literacy, focusing on both school and out-of school settings. Students in the specialization will have the opportunity to develop expertise in a broad range of research methodologies, from video case study to experimentation to ethnography to discourse analysis.

Applicants to this specialization will ordinarily have had prior coursework or experience in areas such as language learning, applied linguistics, TESOL, literacy, instructional technology, or educational media. We expect that graduates in this specialization will seek academic positions or research appointments in a wide range of fields or departments, such as education, English, applied linguistics, curriculum and instruction, educational technology, language and literacy, and TESOL.

Surprises in Houston | 2¢ Worth

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 04:33:34 -0000

A conclusion drawn by one group was that if we are to teach lifelong learning skills, then teachers and leaders should be willing to model these skills, to present themselves as master learners. If we are to practice lifelong learning skills, then we should be willing to ask our students, “How do you do this on the Internet?” or “How did you get your web site to do that?”

It models learning lifestyle and offers respect for the skills and knowledge of many of our students. One of the higher ed folks described how they wanted their faculty to understand social networks, and, perhaps, to figure out how to use them. He said that they paid a 25 year old student to come in and demonstrate their social networking practices.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:
