BACD 1101/BDEC 161 BACD 1101/BDEC 161 INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to introduce students to community development studies and practical field research. Community development is a field science, which is necessary to understand complex local situation and find the potential from a local reality. The course is divided into two parts to understand 1) theories and case studies of community development and 2) realities of community development in rural areas (Uganda) through field research. Students will conduct field study in rural areas to understand “What is development?” from local people’s point of view by participatory observation and key informant interview with local people and governmental officers. We will focus on their life stories to achieve the question. Finally, students will record the life stories, and submit group or individual reports on their findings.

In order to develop as effective community workers, students must possess a strong theoretical and practical foundation related to their discipline. Beginning from an understanding of current community experiences and trends, students will learn how community development practices and principles can enable them to respond to contemporary needs.
