EDUC 2851 - Global Perspect on Ed Latin Am

Institution:

Snow College

Subject:

Education

Description:

Participants will delve into the historical past of Mexico, which included Guatemala, to look at the events, and oppressions suffered by these people which shaped their culture and outlook on life. This will include their view of US citizens and their treatment by the education system here. Students will come to understand the nature of learning and the diversity of learning opportunities for students in Latin America. The families role in the education process, the role religion may or may not play in education, what, if any, extra educational opportunities are available to students and are they generally used, how the education of students with special needs is handled, and what role Latin American culture plays in education. These should give an overall idea of what the education system in Latin America is like, what drives it, and how it compares to that in the USA.
