After undertaking my needs analysis, I have decided to give a bigger focus towards individual responsibility rather than focus solely on institutions.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
· Differentiate the roles of actors in society
o Explain the roles of individuals, institutions, and nature
o Define the concept of stakeholders
o Define good citizenship
o Give examples of differing perspectives
· Explore the impacts of individual and institutional decision-making
o Describe current social, cultural and environmental indicators
o Analyze the impacts of economic activities
o Explain externalities
o Explain cumulative effects
· Propose low impact strategies for decision-making
o Describe quality of life
o Explain sustainable development
o Give examples of individual and institutional responsibility
o Develop a plan of action for a local issue.
· Analyze the role of participation in society
o Describe power relationships among individuals and institutions & the economy, society and environment.
o Describe the values associated with effective participation
o Justify their own views of effective participation and collaboration
o Plan an effective participative process
Sonja - This is a great blog and I really enjoyed seeing your thought process here. These are lofty goals! I am excited to see how you propose to achieve these goals, and to measure results. Are you going to have students get involved in social action during the semester?
ResponderEliminarthanks Justin!
ResponderEliminarI am thinking about having students get involved in social action however I haven't gotten their yet in my thinking. I would love any advice you have since I have not had the experience of sending out students to get involved.
