Lecture 2:

Objective: Knowledge and Skill

学习目标: 知识与技能

Description：In this lecture we will explore the idea of knowledge,where knowledge comes from, and why we teach the knowledge found inschools across the world. This will introduce you to the ideas ofliberal education and powerful knowledge, and the justification forthe inclusion of such knowledge in schooling. Then we will consideran alternative argument that given the economic and social changesthat are occurring across the world we need a new form of curriculumin both schools and higher education that teaches the skills neededfor the 21st century. By doing this we can begin to unpack andexplore the tensions between, on the hand, academic education, and,on the other hand, vocational education and training. This will leadus to a consideration of the idea of path dependency in policymaking which makes changing course so politically difficult.

描述：在授课过程中，我们将探讨知识的概念和来源，以及我们为什么要教授世界各地学校里发现的知识。这将向你介绍自由教育和强大的知识的概念，以及在学校教育中包含这些知识的理由。进而，我们将考虑另一种观点，即考虑到世界各地正在发生巨大的经济和社会变化，我们需要在学校和高等教育中采用一种新的课题形式，来教授21世纪所需的相关技能。通过这样做，我们可以开始解开和探索学术教育与职业教育和培训之间的紧张关系。这将引导我们考虑在政策制定中路径依赖的想法，同时这使得改变路线在政治上非常困难。

Lecture 3:

Objective：Education, Human Capital and Economic Growth

学习目标：教育、人力资本与经济增长

Description：This session will begin to explore ideas about therelationship between education, labour markets, work and socialmobility. We will examine why governments use so much money tosupport public education systems rather than, say, asking individuals to pay for their own schooling. In addition, we willexplore the role of private schooling and shadow education tounderstand how families engage in opportunity hoarding whichmaximises their children’s opportunities at the expense of others, and the impact of that on social mobility. You will be introduced tohuman capital theory which is the dominant perspective currently ineducational policy making, and we will critically examine therelationship between schooling and economic growth. You will thenuse those ideas to explore what might be a rational investment foryou to make in the future development of your own human capital.

描述：我们将深入研究教育、劳动力市场、工作和社会流动性之间的关系。并探索为什么政府要花大量的资金去支持公共教育系统，而不是要求个人支付自己的教育费用。此外，我们将学习私立学校和影子教育的作用，以了解家庭是如何参与机会囤积，以牺牲他人的利益最大化来帮助其子女的教育机会，及这种现象对社会流动性的影响。同时学生将被介绍到人力资本理论，这是目前教育政策制定的主导观点，我们将批判性地检查学校教育和经济增长之间的关系。最后，学生将利用这些想法来探索在未来发展自己的人力资本时，什么是合理的投资？

Lecture 4:

Objective： Education and Citizenship

学习目标：教育和公民

Description：Economic growth is only one reason why governments mayspend so much money on developing mass public education systems. Inaddition, policy makers are also concerned about the development ofcitizens who will play their part in the maintenance of the stateincluding a willingness to fight for the nation. To undertake thistask, we will adopt a case study approach focussing on Germany andthe way it used its education system to support the unification ofGermany in the 19th century. We will then use the ideas introducedthrough this case study to reflect on how citizenship has beendeveloped through your own education, and the role of schooling indeveloping moral persons. In so doing we will examine Confucianphilosophy and the importance that has played in the development ofthe Chinese education system.

描述：经济增长只是政府在发展大众公共教育系统上投入如此多资金的原因之一。此外，政策制定者还关注公民的发展，他们将在国家的维护中发挥自己的作用，包括为国家而战的意愿。为了完成这一任务，我们将采用案例研究的方法，重点关注德国及其在19世纪利用其教育体系支持德国统一的方式。然后，我们将利用这个案例研究中的相关观点，来反思公民是如何通过自己的教育发展起来的，以及学校在培养有道德的人方面的作用。在此过程中，我们将考察儒家哲学及其在中国教育体系发展中的重要性。

Lecture 5:

Objective：The expansion of Higher Education

学习目标：高等教育的扩张

Description：One of the most significant changes in educationsystems across the world over the last seventy years has been themassive expansion of Higher Education. We will examine the dynamicsof this process and how it has led to not just bigger but alsohighly stratified higher education systems. We will then use ideasintroduced earlier in the course to examine why individuals andgovernments are prepared to invest so much money and time on higher education, reflect on the meaning of the term higher education, andreturn to an exploration of the tension between liberal andvocational aspects of education.

描述：在过去的70年里，世界各地教育体系最重大的变化之一是高等教育的大规模扩张。我们将研究这一过程的动态: 高度分层的高等教育体系。我们也会使用思想引入在早些时候检查为什么个人和政府准备在高等教育投入这么多钱和时间, 反思“高等教育”一词的含义, 并返回探索自由之间的紧张关系和职业方面的教育。
