The Institutionalization of Teaching in American Sociological Association

在美国社会学界，教学被认为是社会学专业的基本职能。美国社会学协会（阿萨）系统中有几项协调良好的活动。满足会员的教学需求。大部分是高等教育机构的院系，从1960年代后期开始，学生人数迅速增加。他们中的大多数是非传统的学生。必须创造新的教学方法。教授本科生并不被认为是研究人员的“正确”工作，尽管他们中的大多数实际上是教师。汉斯·欧莫奇是从纳粹手中逃脱的东欧犹太难民之一。战争结束后，他进入芝加哥大学研究生院。他在一所护士学校、工程系、医学院的教授和管理人员那里学到了“教学是重要的”。1972年，他被任命为阿萨本科教育委员会主席。他计划改进社会学教学。美国国会和教育部希望改善高等教育。1972年，他们通过了一项新的法案，拨款1000万美元建立了改善中学后教育基金（FIPSE）。毛克什和他的学院成功地获得了基金。他们聚集了全国各地渴望改革教学和/或有创新想法的社会学家。1973年，阿萨教学项目启动。首先，制定了TSP（教学服务计划）。它包括三个活动：教学资源中心（TRC），教学资源组（TRG），系资源组（DRG）。Mauksh和他的合作伙伴雄心勃勃的企业已经取得了成功，阿萨教学服务计划正在为社会学教学的专业人士提供教学资源和新的想法。

In the academia of American sociology, teaching is thought to be fundamental function of the profession. There are several well-coordinated activities in the system of American Sociological Association (ASA). They provide the teaching needs of the members. Most of them are faculties of the institutions of higher education.Beginning in late 1960's, the number of students was increasing rapidly. Most of them were non-traditional students. New ways of teaching must be coined. Teaching the undergraduate was not thought of the "right" job for the researchers, although most of them were actually teachers. Hans O. Maukch was one of the East European Jewish refugees who had escaped from Nazis. After the war, he entered the graduate school of the University of Chicago. He experienced the professors and administrators at a nursing school, the department of engineering, medical school where he leaned that "teaching is import."In 1972, he was planned to the chairperson of the committee of the undergraduate education of ASA. He had planned to improve teaching sociology. The U.S. Congress and the Department of Education wanted to improve the higher education. They passed a new act to give 10 million dollars to create Fund for Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE), in 1972. Mauksh and his colleges succeeded in getting the fund. They gathered sociologists all over the country who were eager to reform teaching and/or who had innovative ideas.In 1973, ASA Teaching Project started. First the TSP (Teaching Services Program) was made. It included three activities; Teaching They made Teaching Resources Center (TRC), Teaching Resources Group (TRG), Department Resources Group (DRG). The ambitious enterprise of Mauksh and his partners has been successful, and the ASA Teaching Services Program is providing teaching resources and new ideas to the professionals of sociology teaching.
