ED 314 - Social Studies Methods

3 Credit(s)

Participants in ED 314 focus on becoming a pre-service teacher who has both the content of subject matter and the methodology in order to transmit the subject matter to elementary students and middle school students. As such, this course strives to help the pre-service teacher develop self-reflection in the teaching and learning process, foster content knowledge of the social sciences, enhance skills related to learning theories, and to create authentic and appropriate assessments. The goals of this course reflect the Standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Education and National Council for Social Studies. This course has a field placement component for which students will plan, present, evaluate and self-reflect upon their teaching. This course includes Stage 3 Fieldwork.
