What you study
The journey begins with the study of learning theory: what it means to learn, pedagogy and didactics, the philosophy of education, research methods in education, education and multiculturalism, and the development of thinking. Later comes an interesting twist: planning and designing learning environments that students respond to, effective teaching methods, integrating technologies and innovative skills, and more.
