This course introduces key concepts used by anthropologists in understanding human variation, and makes these concepts our own by applying them to the societies and cultures in which we ourselves live. It specifically looks at how education plays a role in constructing and perpetuating culture. Through relevant readings and visual material, it explores how social and cultural interactions are enabled by a broad range of culture- specific reasoning, social rituals, and the role of education. The course also discusses social practices within various cultural contexts in order to acquire an understanding of culture that can accommodate inquiry at local and global levels.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the basic knowledge of educational psychology that is common today. This course encourages students to reflect on the topics mentioned in the classroom through their own past learning and teaching experience, in order to better understand their own assumptions and concepts of teaching and learning, and to be able to use the classroom in the future teaching scene. 

This course examines the basic principles of education and introduces the internal logic between education and society through analysis of case studies and theories. The course covers topics such as the function of education in humanization and socialization, and its role in improving society and individual quality of life.
