EDSE 409 - Indigenous Curriculum and Pedagogy
★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)
This course is designed to help educators better understand and interpret the significance of recent curricular initiatives in Alberta and across Canada that emphasize Indigenous perspectives across subject areas and grade levels. The class will consider the philosophies and wisdom traditions of Indigenous knowledge systems and the curricular and pedagogical implications of these. The class will also focus in on particular subject area concerns, individually and collectively, and consider the critical contributions that Indigenous knowledge systems and perspectives could play in these classroom contexts. One of the unifying messages of this course is that Indigenous curriculum perspectives provide a unique opportunity for teachers to creatively rethink and reframe their approaches to teaching and learning. Credit may only be obtained for one of EDSE 409 or EDES 409.

★ 3 (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)
The course will consider science from the perspectives of history, culture and Indigenous ways of knowing. Specifically, the course will consider the historical, philosophical, and wisdom traditions of Indigenous knowledge systems as a cultural bridge to a greater awareness of science. We will also focus on the particular subject area cultural histories and collectively consider the critical contributions that these varying perspectives could play in classroom contexts. One of the unifying messages of this course is that Aboriginal ways of knowing provide a unique opportunity for teachers to rethink and reframe their approaches to scientific teaching and learning. Prerequisite: EDEL 330.
