Discussion of Standard V
This Standard seeks to ensure common general qualifications
in foundational studies among candidates in graduate programs jointly
controlled by faculty in Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, or
Educational Policy Studies and faculty in other academic units.
At a growing number of institutions of higher education,
joint graduate programs have been established involving faculty in Foundations
of Education, Educational Studies, or Educational Policy Studies. Illustrative
areas of emphasis or concentration in joint programs are: adult education;
alternative education; the arts; bilingual education; counseling and guidance;
community development; computer programming; curriculum and instruction; early
childhood education; educational administration; educational planning and
management; educational technology; environmental sciences; futuristics
studies; human relations; industrial and labor relations; journalism; law;
library media; linguistics; literature; mental hygiene; multicultural
education; museum education; public health; public policy; reading; research,
measurement, and evaluation; social services; special education; teaching
English as a second language; theater; urban education; and women’s studies.
Such joint programs can prepare individuals for college and
university faculties and for academic and administrative positions within
community colleges, public and private schools, research bureaus, religious
institutions, and public and private service agencies. In these joint programs,
instruction in foundational studies is at a level substantially beyond that
required in initial teacher certification and/or licensure programs and
includes preparation in at least three of the following disciplines or areas of
study: history of education, philosophy of education, religion and education,
sociology of education, anthropology and education, politics of education,
economics of education, educational psychology, comparative and international
education, cultural studies, gender studies, educational studies, and
educational policy studies. Such instruction is designed to advance students’
abilities to interpret and communicate the content and context of education
appropriate to the doctoral or masters level. Students are to produce
demonstrable evidence of disciplined writing, acquire skill and understanding
in appropriate research methodologies, and participate in field experiences
supportive of program goals. Field experiences, including internships, are to
be planned, supervised, and evaluated collaboratively by faculty qualified under
Standard VIII and appropriate field personnel.
