Social History of Learning and Learners (EDPS0011)

Overview

Learning and learners are at the heart of education, yet they are often absent from educational studies. This module will consider how ideas, theories and policies played out in experiences of learning as well as the ways in which learning has been transformed over time. The experience of learning will be connected to broader political, social, economic and cultural changes. You will be introduced to the ways that learning has been understood and practised in the past, the forms of learning that took place and its significance in people’s lives. Who was able to learn, and what they learnt, are closely related to changing forms of inequality.

The module will be organised both chronologically and thematically to help students to uncover and critically assess decisive issues in the history of learning. Themes include histories of school learning, higher education, learning in civil society, learning at work and in the domestic sphere. We will engage with a range of disciplinary approaches from the humanities and social sciences. Although the module is mainly focused on the UK, there will be scope to pursue international comparisons.

Structure

A two hour session will incorporate an interactive lecture and small group work focusing on archives and primary historical sources. The one hour seminar will provide the opportunity to discuss readings and reflect upon the history of learning. We will also visit the IOE Archives to help build knowledge and understanding of working with historical sources. The analysis of historical sources will enable you to explore learning in a historical setting, whether based upon visiting an archive or materials which will be available on Moodle. The essay will be on a topic of your choosing, with advice and guidance.
