LAI 615SEM - Intro to Curriculum, Instruction, and Science of Learning(CISL)

LAI 615 is an introductory seminar designed to provide doctoral students in the CISL (Curriculum, Instruction and Science of Learning) doctoral program with a general foundation of and orientation toward perspectives on educational research, theory, policy, and pedagogy. This may include reading and discussing works related to historical contexts of education, theories of learning and teaching, recent or historical policy initiatives, and research in teaching and learning. By design, LAI 615 is an interdisciplinary course. While it may involve readings set within a particular subject matter ( e.g., pedagogical content knowledge and mathematics), the focus is not on a particular subject matter per se, but on what might be learned from such readings about curriculum, instruction, educational research and theory, policy, pedagogy, and so on.
