Overview

The Department of Education emphasizes the study of education as a social institution and analysis of teaching and learning in interdisciplinary terms.

The Educational Studies major is designed for students who wish to prepare for a career in education in elementary or secondary schools, or in the broader community. The curriculum introduces students to learning theory and the social foundations of education, and it allows for experiential learning in the field. This study fits well into a broader liberal arts education and allows time for students to complete a major in an additional field of study, for example, in an area of interest or the discipline one intends to teach.

The Educational Studies major does not lead directly to licensure; however, faculty in the Denison University Department of Education assist students in creating individually designed plans for obtaining licensure after graduation through a range of graduate and other programs.

Learning Goals

Students will develop competence in academic “tools of inquiry” to sustain their own intellectual and social growth (writing; oral communication; analysis, synthesis, critique).
Students will learn theoretical foundations of teaching and learning and to apply them in relation to the processes and content of teaching.
Students will learn theoretical and social foundations of education and to apply them to policy in a diverse, democratic society.
Students will reflect upon their growth as liberally educated individuals throughout their years of study and experiences in the field of education.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Denison University Department of Education is to provide a foundation for:

thinking critically about teaching and learning in the context of contemporary society;
critical analysis of important educational issues in our society. The department is committed to developing in students an appreciation of the power of learning to transform people and society, in the sense that individuals have the potential for constant growth and in the sense that education can be a force toward improvement in the life of the community and society at large.
careers or service in education, for teaching and other leadership in schools or working in non-school settings such as social work, counseling, nonprofit organizations, educational publishing, leadership development, and business-related teaching.
