Course Descriptions
The Foundations of Education Department provides
leadership, vision, and service for the core elements of all teacher
education and library science programs at UW-Eau Claire. Core professional
studies which are common to all programs include field experiences; the
social, cultural, historical, legal, and philosophical foundations of
education; pedagogy for diverse learners; instructional, informational,
and media technology; educational research; assessment; and leadership
studies.
Foundations
of Education (FED)
Courses in this category serve all teacher education
programs. They deal with the study of social forces, institutions, and
human relations which undergird formal education. Writings in such
disciplines as history, economics, sociology, psychology, political
science, anthropology, geography, and philosophy serve as the basis for
study and discussion. The major purpose of such studies is to provide the
student with a set of contexts in which educational problems can be
understood and interpreted.

Educational
and Media Technology
(EDMT)
Courses in this category deal with using media and
technology in teaching. The purpose of these courses is to provide
students with knowledge and skills so that they will understand and use
appropriate media when teaching.

Library
Science and Media Education
(LMED)
Library
Science and Media Education courses prepare students for positions in
libraries and media centers. This preparation is offered as a minor to
accompany any undergraduate major which accommodates a minor; however, it
may be completed after the baccalaureate degree as a sequence of courses
leading to state licensure as a library media specialist.
A sequence of
graduate-level courses for both school and public librarianship prepares
students for positions in schools as Master’s-level Instructional Library
Media and Technology Specialists.
The department
also participates in the University of Wisconsin System School Library
Education Consortium (UWSSLEC) through which students can gain initial and
advanced (901 and 902) licensure as school library media specialists
through web-based graduate programs. For information about the program,
contact the department or go to www.uwsslec.org.
NOTE: Students considering a Library Science and Media Education minor
should consult with faculty in the department for further information and
assistance in planning.
