MIT MIT-OCW
Introduction to Education: Looking Forward and Looking Back on Education
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this introductory course on teaching and learning science and mathematics across K-12 settings. Lectures and readings cover the history of education, education reform movements, and the role of media, simulations, and games in classrooms, alongside a look at the digital divide and its effects on access to learning. Materials include the syllabus, assignments, and readings drawn from case studies and policy debates in American education. The course is designed for students considering teaching as a field and asks them to weigh past reform efforts against current classroom technology. As with other MIT OCW offerings, all course materials are free to access and there is no certificate.
