This course aims to introduce the humanistic dimension of Subjectivity and Learning. The focus of this dimension is human beings and their development and learning in social life. Input is from Psychology and Educational Studies, two interrelated academic disciplines. The commonality between these two disciplines is the interest in the development of the subject, the person, and its ability to create and change society. While Psychology is primarily concerned with the person’s inner experiences and outer interactions with others in various life domains, Education Studies are about learning and other transformational processes. In this course, we include these disciplines for the purpose of social transformation and inclusion. The fundamental questions are, how do we become the persons that we are, how do we develop a sense of self and community in diverse contexts, and how can these disciplines contribute to a just, sustainable, peaceful, and inclusive world? While grounded in knowledge from the disciplines of Psychology and Educational Studies as developed in the Western world since the late 19th century, the course has a global perspective, also introducing diverse Eastern- knowledge, and perspectives. In summary, this five ECTS dimension course represents two disciplines, Psychology, and Educational Studies, in which the common ground is the development and learning of the individual in society, with an objective of making the world a better place through social transformation and inclusion.

The course is valued at 5 ECTS which is equivalent to 130 hours.

There are 10 teaching classes of 1.75 hours each = 17.5 teaching hours in addition to 10 hours of review classes = 27.5 contact hours.

Preparation for each class is 7-8 hours = approximately 80 hours in total

The essay writing = approximately 20 hours
