PHD

The Ph.D. prepares graduate students to assume roles as faculty and other leaders in higher education. It is carefully designed to balance coursework, research projects, and teaching experiences for students to acquire the knowledge, dispositions, skills and abilities to become highly effective faculty and leaders in higher education. Program area faculty adhere to a comprehensive framework reflecting broad and multi-faceted conceptions of scholarship: Application, Discovery, Integration and Teaching. Students engage in research, teaching, professional service, and professional practice projects that further their familiarity with these domains. An array of subject area specializations for all Ph.D. students in Curriculum & Instruction fosters their intellectual and professional growth in greater depth. The Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Educational Technology is a campus-based program designed to prepare stewards of the discipline (Golde, 2006). These students desire to work as researchers and university faculty and embrace scholarship to address important societal problems and create and disseminate new knowledge, in part, via collaboration between and among disciplines. As an academic discipline, Schools, Society, and Culture encourages us to consider the societal contexts in which schools are situated. It enlists historical, philosophical, sociological, anthropological and comparative perspectives for understanding the inter-relationships between schools and society. • History of education highlights patterns of educational development and concurrent social issues over time. • Philosophy of education challenges us to envision ideal educational environments, goals, and systems and to think critically about what it means to be “educated,” to “learn,” and to “teach.” • Sociology and Anthropology of education remind us that schools are products of society, and that American schools, as products of a democratic society, represent the degree to which our social, political, economic and cultural traditions are successful or just. • Comparative education recognizes that educational systems and practices vary in different societies and regions because of distinct cultural, political, historical, economic, and religious conditions. These branches of Social Foundations of Education overlap in multiple ways. Taken together, they remind us that cultural contexts and societal priorities shape schools and vice versa. Our graduate programs specializing in Social Foundations of Education offer our students a thorough grounding in these areas to equip them for rapidly changing conditions in their educational careers–as teachers, scholars, school leaders & policymakers, and citizens.
