Course Description
This course explores contemporary perspectives on learning, focusing on theories and frameworks that shape our understanding of human learning processes across different contexts. Students will engage with key concepts such as transformative learning, biographical learning, lifelong learning, and the role of culture in education. The course examines both classical and emerging learning theories, including pragmatism, activity theory, and social learning theory, to provide a comprehensive view of how individuals learn and develop within society. Through critical discussions and case studies, students will analyze how learning occurs not only in formal educational settings but also in broader social, cultural, and personal contexts. Special emphasis is placed on the interplay between individual cognition, social interactions, and institutional structures that influence learning trajectories. By the end of the course, students will be able to critically assess various learning theories and apply them to contemporary educational challenges.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successfully completing the course, students will be able to:
- Develop a critical perspective on how learning evolves across life cycles and social structures.
- Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of key learning theories and their historical development.
- Analyze the role of identity, culture, and society in shaping learning experiences.
- Compare and contrast different approaches to transformative and lifelong learning.
- Apply contemporary learning theories to real-world educational and professional contexts.

Course Description
The course mainly explores the concepts, tools, and methods for studying animal behavior. The basic explanation of innate, learned, reasoning behaviors, and mediated factors such as ecology and other aspects will also be extensively exposed. Students will acquire fundamental techniques for measuring behavior through field exercises and examine how the scientific method is applied. The course will explore these topics through assigned readings from scientific literature, video documentaries, and other assignments with online discussion support. Students will have the opportunity to conduct a research field project to be presented in the highly interactive class.
