Course Syllabi in Faculties of Education: Bodies of Knowledge and their Discontents, International and Comparative Perspectives: Bloomsbury Critical Education

Editat de André Elias Mazawi, Michelle Stack
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2021
Course Syllabi in Faculties of Educationproblematizes one of the least researched phenomena in teacher education, the design of course syllabi, using critical and decolonial approaches. This book looks at the struggles that scholars, policy makers, and educators from a diverse range of countries including Australia, Canada, India, Iran, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Zambia face as they design course syllabi in higher education settings. The chapter authors argue that course syllabi are political constructions, representing intense sites of struggles over visions of teacher education and visions of society. As such, they are deeply immersed in what Walter Mignolo calls the "geopolitics of knowledge". Authors also show how syllabi have become akin to contractual documents that define relations between instructors and students Based on a set of empirically grounded studies that are compared and contrasted, the chapters offer a clearer picture of how course syllabi function within distinct socio-political, economic, and historical contexts of practice and teacher education.

Recenzii

Course Syllabiis an absolute treasure. Any thought you might have entertained that course syllabi are technical tools has vanished. This is an important new contribution to the politics of knowledge.
Theoretically sophisticated and practically useful, this tightly edited, ground-breaking and unique volume addresses the challenge of designing course syllabi in faculties of education across a range of contexts in the global North and South. Informed by critical and post-colonial perspectives that acknowledge the deeply political nature of education and curricula, and what counts as legitimate pedagogical knowledge and professional practice, the contributors provide richly detailed accounts of the contingent and situated struggles and contestations faced by syllabus developers as they strive to articulate and enact their visions for teacher education.
Mazawi, Stack and their contributors have provided an exceptionally valuable resource which reminds us of the inextricable link between instructors' biographies and the educational programs in which students participate. More importantly,Course Syllabi in Faculties of Educationoffers those of us engaged in creating syllabi, profound narratives and insightful analyses of how our lived experiences, personal investments, and scholarly judgements animate the knowledge and opportunities we wish to provide students. In addition to affording insights into the cultural and political contexts of schooling in some nine countries, this book leads us to consider: What if we were to co-create course syllabi with students whose learning needs, interests and aspirations we aim to satisfy?
