<p>The focus of this project is the development of a unit of study in Classical Studies for primary students (ages 6-8) in the Elementary School.</p> <p>In the first three chapters, pedagogical concerns are explored as the writer examines her philosophy of education, the psychological base of methodologies used and the context in which she is teaching.</p> <p>Chapters four and five look briefly at educational systems of Ancient Greece which have influenced Western education for more than two millenia, the tradition of classical Studies in the education system and the changes which Archaeology brought to Classical Scholarship in the last century.</p> <p>The final chapter describes a unit of study for primary students which is a culmination of my pedagogical beliefs, writings of a classical author and a study of the social aspects of life in Ancient Greece.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
