Goals and content of upbringing will be discussed, and the changes in ideas on development as growth and teaching examined. The course will discuss different perspectives on and ideas about upbringing, socialization, education, dialogue and teaching, and how ideas about power, authority, freedom and rationality affect pedagogical thinking and practice.
