EDR543 - Philosophy and Children's Literature (3 cr.)
A variety of children's literature will be explored in order to focus on the salient contribution that philosophy makes to literacy. The tools of conceptual analysis and critical thinking will be applied to an evolving clarification of the meaning of tests and the enhancement of academic discussion. This course is based on the premise that children's natural tendency to philosophize about words, reality, and morality requires careful nurturing if it is to develop into critical reflection: such nurturing devolves to the teacher, not merely as transmitter of information, but as a practitioner in dialogical thinking. (Fall/Spring).
