Mastering the Techniques of TeachingBased on direct observation and students' accounts of outstanding professors, Lowman examines what constitutes good teaching and tells how to present intellectually exciting lectures, lead engaging discussions, and relate to students in ways that promote motivation and independent learning. Describing what constiutes masterful college teaching, he examines the classroom as an interpersonal arena in which students and instructors meet basic psychological needs and reveal their personalities. Discusses how to select, organize and present content to promote understanding and retention, use discussion to promote rapport and stimulate thought, and offers insights into traditional aspects of teaching, such as planning courses and individual class meetings, using reading, writing and observational assignments and evaluating students. He encourages teachers to view teaching as an art and rediscover its ancient skills. ISBN 0-87589-598-0 : $17.95. |
