Teacher Education, the Liberal Arts, and Extended Preparation Programs. Rockefeller Institute Reprints.
Overview & Synopsis
In making a case for the liberal arts in teacher education, the point is made that the liberal arts contribute to the professional qualifications of teaching. If teachers are to be more than mere technicians, the professional skills of problem solving, analysis, and critical thought are needed. A discussion is presented of the specific need for teacher competence in the areas of: (1) effective communication; (2) mathematics; (3) scientific understanding; (4) historical and social consciousness; and (5) the humanities. Suggestions are offered on the content of general education courses for both elementary and secondary teacher preparation. (JD)
