Theories of teaching are the focus of this seminar. We distinguish between teaching and learning, even as we study their relationships and intersections. Current studies on the teaching profession, the characteristics of classroom communication, and the political, social, and cognitive analysis generated by issues of content selection are topics of didactic concern today. The seminar highlights the analysis of teaching within the political and institutional contexts where practices unfold, as well as the impact of reforms and innovations on these approaches.
