DeLeon’s strategy for replacing the primary textbook for this course is using peer-reviewed articles from the UTSA Libraries’ subscription databases as course readings, providing high-quality resources at no additional cost for his students and taking advantage of the Libraries’ rich online collections. EDU 2103 is highly interdisciplinary and lends itself well to this approach, providing his students with a wide range of views on course issues and giving voice to a variety of perspectives.
More from DeLeon:
“The course I teach falls within the tradition of the social foundations of education, which is interdisciplinary in its approach to understanding the historical, social, political and economic ways in which schooling has evolved over time. Because my course is interdisciplinary, this allows a wide breadth of knowledge from a diverse set of readings to inform my students’ understanding of how education has developed.”
