Friday, February 8, 2008              8

                           Introduction to Religions and
                           Philosophies of South and East Asia

Decoding the Discipline

                           Clearly identify class space as academic
                           Learning outcome was that students
                           should be aware of the rhetoric of
                           Religious Studies
                           What distinguishes the discipline?

Socialization
                           Identified a broad range of approaches
                           to the subject matter
                           bet ween the devotional and the
                           academic or the ‘insider’ vs ‘outsider’
                           perspectives.
                           Then we identified different tactics
                           taken by the t wo poles of the spectrum.



Friday, February 8, 2008                                              11
Socializing Students

                           Students were encouraged to identify
                           themselves on the spectrum and
                           recognize that others can and would be
                           at different points.
                           We highlighted contexts for different
                           points on the spectrum.

and now....

                           Explaining Why


Friday, February 8, 2008                     14
Every discipline has a
                                “rhetoric”
                           Each discipline aims to study a
                           particular data set
                           Every field has a particular approach to
                           data
                           It is important to highlight this to the
                           students


Friday, February 8, 2008                                              15
Importance of
                           explaining what we do
                           Students need to know relevance and
                           purpose
                           If students are better socialized,
                           classroom management is easier
                            discussions can be more meaningful

Another Activity


Friday, February 8, 2008                      17
Identify a ‘polarity’ in a
                  subject that you teach
                           How might you ‘s ocialize’ your course by
                           identifying a framework? (content or
                           process)
                           Where can you introduce a spectrum
                           and/or point of instability?
                           How might you facilitate students’
                           acclimation to the discipline?


Friday, February 8, 2008                                               18
Framing what we do
                           & promoting civility in the classroom while we
                                           are at it...


Friday, February 8, 2008                                                    19
Syllabus as a
                             socialization tool
                           Clear, explicit syllabus is your front line
                           for socializing students
                           Course outcomes are defined
                           Expectations are identified
                           Begin the modeling process

Setting guidelines:
                               Classwork
                           What is appropriate? Why?
                           Context of classroom activities?
                           How is classwork going to model
                           discipline-specific activities
                           (e.g. professionalism, procedures,
                           interactions)
                           What about beyond the classroom?

Setting guidelines:
                               Discussions
                           What is appropriate? Why?
                           What is the purpose of the
                           discussion(s)?
                           Context of the discussion?



Friday, February 8, 2008                                22
Setting Guidelines:
                                Discussion

                           Stress the third person
                           Raise awareness of pronouns (us, we,
                           you, them)




Friday, February 8, 2008                                          23
Setting Guidelines:
                               Homework
                           What is the purpose of homework?
                           How will it help the student both in the
                           course and beyond the course?
                           Provide a rubric for grading
                           Tie homework to professionalism

             homework.
