Of all the things that an instructor should know about his students, one fact of great importance is that they are or plan to become teachers. Some, of course, will change their minds, following varied pursuits, and all will have other roles, for example, citizen and homemaker. But the fact is as stated, and its importance rests on a simple truth. Students tend to teach as they have been taught. They model on their best-liked teachers. We find this significant in orienting the present chapter because the academic classroom is not a good proving field, a training ground, for any person who would work in life-centered schools. Moreover, if" group-process" teaching is to make headway in the nation, it must be because a vast number of teachers believe in it. They must learn what it is in experience, how it works, and how to work it. With these value judgments, we enter a lively field, an arena of controversy where college teachers are at opposite poles. What is good teaching at the college level? What general theory of learning underlies it? Is it enough to set students to read a book or hear lectures? How can a college class, under a teacher's guidance, organize itself as a dynamic learning group? By what teaching methods can the usual academic sameness be broken? Can one learn or know what he has learned without continuous appraisal, and how is this to be done? To none of these questions do we have the answer; in fact, there is no one right answer, only varied experimental approaches. To think these issues through before any class pattern is set up, is the purpose of this chapter.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
