Course Syllabi in Faculties of Education problematizes one of the
least researched phenomena in teacher education, the design of
course syllabi, using critical and decolonial approaches. This book
looks at the struggles that scholars, policy makers, and educators
from a diverse range of countries including Australia, Canada,
India, Iran, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Zambia
face as they design course syllabi in higher education settings.
The chapter authors argue that course syllabi are political
constructions, representing intense sites of struggles over visions
of teacher education and visions of society. As such, they are
deeply immersed in what Walter Mignolo calls the "geopolitics of
knowledge". Authors also show how syllabi have become akin to
contractual documents that define relations between instructors and
students Based on a set of empirically grounded studies that are
compared and contrasted, the chapters offer a clearer picture of
how course syllabi function within distinct socio-political,
economic, and historical contexts of practice and teacher
education.
