An Educational Adventure in Prague

Taught by Dr. Margareta Pop
This is a survey course that is intended to provide you with a
greater understanding of cognitive learning processes,
motivation, teacher and student characteristics, and instructional
techniques. Emphasis will be placed on enabling teachers to
better understand how students learn, on helping educators
identify and remove barriers that impede student learning,
and on helping educators develop teaching practices,
programs, and curriculum that lead to academic success. A
primary goal for the course will be for students to develop an
informed mental model for learning processes and develop
an international perspective on learning as it relates to
pedagogy. This will be accomplished through application as
students in the course work with students in Czech schools
on a number of activities related learning and motivation.
