Course contents :
This course aims to encourage reflection on the aims of educational action, the implicit and explicit values which pedagogical mechanisms incorporate, and the challenges (ethical and political) which underlie our positions on the subject of education.
From this perspective, we will analyse contemporary discourse on authority, neutrality or citizenship, in order to enable each individual to gauge their position in an informed and analytical manner.
On a more individual level, it consists of asking questions about one's own relationship to knowledge and the positions one adopts as a teacher or as a learner.
The basic question which acts as a thread throughout the course is that of emancipation: under what conditions can learning and/or teaching activities be truly emancipating?
Learning outcomes of the course :
  • To be able to question the evidence in terms of education policy and discourse on education
  • To be able to use theories and concepts to shed light on some ethical and political challenges of education
  • To adopt a reflective and analytical approach to one's own practices
