COURSES

The following is a list of courses offered by the department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning within the Comparative, International and Development Education Collaborative Program. Not all of the courses listed are offered in any given year. Students should also see course listings under the other collaborative departments' section of this Bulletin.

CTL6000H Introduction to Comparative, International, and Development Education
This course serves as the basic core course for the Institute's graduate studies concentration in comparative, international, and development education. It focuses upon the various theoretical conceptions of the socioeconomic development process and the role of formal and non-formal educational programs within that process. The basic purposes of the course are to introduce students to the comparative literature regarding education in advanced and developing nations, to evaluate the various ways in which comparative data may be used, and to examine the relative utility of various theoretical perspectives for understanding formal and non-formal educational policy problems common to many societies.
J.P. Farrell and D.W. Livingstone

CTL6001H The Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation of Occupational Training Institutions and Programs
This course will examine traditional and innovative approaches to occupational training. Both pre-service and in-service program formats will be studied. The underlying rationale, physical structure, curricular concepts and content, instructional strategies, budgetary processes, and financial arrangements of all types of training programs will be surveyed from a planning perspective. Methods of institutional and program evaluation will be studied. A case-study approach will be utilized to compare various types of programs and institutions from a cross-national perspective. The evaluations of the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario will be studied and compared with occupational education programs in operation elsewhere.
D.N. Wilson or staff

CTL6002H Education and Social Development
This course examines the linkages between education, both formal and non-formal, and the social development of nations, with particular focus on the process of educational policy formation for both developing nations and developing sub-areas within richer nations. The course aims to acquaint students with the main competing "theories" or conceptualizations of the development process and, through examination of a representative set of recent empirical studies and "state of the art" papers, to develop an understanding of the relationships between educational activities and programs and various aspects of social development, with an overall focus on problems of social inequality. The overarching objective is to help develop a better understanding of how, in confronting a particular educational policy problem, one's own theoretical preconceptions, data about the particular jurisdiction, and comparative data about the problem at hand interact to produce a policy judgment.
J.P. Farrell or staff

CTL6003H Comparative Education:
The Development of Third World Educational Systems

This course provides opportunities to study the development of Third World educational systems from a pragmatic perspective. Students are given the opportunity to learn how to organize a country study, develop a database and/or "profile" of an educational system, and analyse aspects of national educational development. Relevant development education theories will be examined and related to actual development experience in a case-study format. A comparative perspective will enable students to relate developments in one or more nations/regions to problems in less-developed nations. Group interactions and learning are encouraged in order to share the experiences of course participants from various nations or with experience in developing nations. Participants lacking such experience, but having an interest in developing nations, are encouraged to learn from such group interactions. Methodologies for undertaking both country studies and comparative studies constitute the terminal learning objectives of this course.
D.N. Wilson or staff

CTL6797H Practicum in Comparative, International and Development Education Program: Master's Level
Supervised experience in an area of fieldwork, under the direction of faculty and field personnel. Arrangements for this practicum are made through the Practicum Coordinator. Inquire at the department office at least two weeks before the beginning of the session.
Staff

CTL6798H Individual Reading and Research in Comparative, International and Development Education Program: Master's Level
A course designed to permit the study of a specific area not already covered in the courses listed for the current year.
Staff

CTL6799H Special Topics in Comparative, International and Development Education Program: Master's Level
A course designed to permit the study (in a formal class setting) of specific areas of comparative, international and development
education not already covered in the courses listed for the current year. (This course does not fulfil the purpose of CTL6798, which is normally conducted on a tutorial basis.)
Staff

CTL6800H Controversial Issues in Development Education
This is an advanced-level doctoral seminar designed to permit students to explore in considerable depth a few currently controversial issues with respect to the role of educational activities and programs in national development, with particular focus on developing nations and developing areas within richer nations. The particular issues chosen for analysis in any given year are selected by the students. Students are expected, through seminar presentations, to identify the key arguments or "positions" with reference to a controversy of interest to them, and to analyse and evaluate those positions using both relevant theory and available empirical data.
D.N. Wilson or staff

CTL6801H Methodologies for Comparing Educational Systems
This course is designed for prospective or practising researchers who wish to use comparative data in their work. Problems in both the acquisition and the use of such data will be considered. Topics will range from the practical problems of gathering data in a foreign country to the analytic tools available for analysing large volumes of data from many countries. Particular attention will be paid to (a) the special analytical problems faced when using comparative data, and (b) the use of comparative data to test propositions and to develop theory in education.

Women's Studies Collaborative Program (GCWS)

The Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning is one of several U of T departments to participate in the Graduate Collaborative Program in Women’s Studies (GCWS), offering M.Ed., M.A., Ed.D. and Ph.D. degree programs. The GCWS provides a formal educational opportunity for qualification in the field of women’s studies through the pursuit of original interdisciplinary research in women’s and gender studies and advanced feminist scholarship. The program provides a central coordinating structure to facilitate and disseminate women’s studies research through student and faculty research seminars, colloquia, circulation of work in progress, study groups, conferences, and publications.

All programs of study should be planned in consultation with Jo-Anne Dillabough/Elizabeth Smyth, program advisors in the CTL Department, and with E.K. Armatage, GCWS Coordinator of Graduate Studies. Further information is also available from the School of Graduate Studies Calendar.
