This course relies on critical thinking and communication skills in the development of one’s individual position on contemporary issues based on a critical examination of policy, discussion papers, research, and journal and media articles that are relevant to current issues in the ECE and allied professions. Classroom discussions and debate expose students to alternative perspectives and provide practice in analyzing and communicating the values underlying points of view, recognizing inherent biases, and forming judgments based on evidence.
