ERIC ED135709: Learning to Teach: Some Resources

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Useful resources for teaching sociology on the undergraduate or graduate level are discussed. Initially, the article suggests well-known resources such as various professional and reference publications, audiovisual aids, and computer-assisted instruction. One resource not frequently thought of includes people such as administrators, colleagues, and students. Administrators can encourage mandatory evaluations by students of instructors, colleagues can collaborate in team teaching or serve as outside examiners, and advanced students can serve as instructors to slower students. Another resource includes ideas drawn from sociology: flexibility of the learning environment, role of inquiry in teaching as well as research, and effect of student interest on course success. Teacher-developed materials comprise the final group of resources. Such materials should be directed toward operationally stated objectives, include means for evaluating their achievement, articulate with theory and methods, extend and apply sociological insights, and include carefully selected test items.
