THE BATTALION
Education Department Successfully Tests Teaching Innovation
An educational innovation is
being tested in the Department
of Education and Psychology,
with excellent results through
three weeks, Dr. Paul Hensarling,
department head, reported Wed
nesday.
A professional semester of 19
elementary and secondary school
teachers is instructed by four
professors.
The team-teaching method
applied to a professional semes
ter is unique in educational
circles, Hensarling noted.
“We’re pleased with results so
far,” said Dr. William Stokes,
director of student teaching.
“How pleased we’ll be at the end,
we can’t say. Bue we know there
will be some changes.”
The senior curriculum was reor
ganized so four education courses
are scheduled for the spring se
mester. In Education 425, pros
pective teachers spend part of ]
the semester “student teaching’
in area schools.
In reorganization, classroom
courses are condensed into the
first six weeks. The 19 students
meet 90-minute classes under
Stokes, Dr. Robert Randall, Dr.
William H. Graves and Roger
Harrell.
The last nine weeks of the
semester will be spent at student
teaching posts in Bryan, A&M
Consolidated and other schools
under a cooperating teacher.
“The “guinea pig” students like
the arrangement.
“Everyone has a good atti
tude,” commented Tommy Dur
ham, senior education major from
Lexington. “We want to learn
as much as we can in a short
period of time.”
Advantages listed by Stokes
include development of a high
level of relationship between stu
dent and prof, elimination of in
structional overlap and trying
instruction to teaching situations
students soon will be facing. He
noted that through closer under
standing, students are willing to
discuss deficient areas which they
normally try to hide.
Randall pointed out that
through constant contact stu
dents learn more from each other.
They attend each class, confer
ence and seminar together every
day.
The class elects three students
weekly to represent them in dis
cussions with the teaching team,
to air complaints and problems.
Length of classes, test content,
assigned outside reading and
“breaks” are worked out.
The professional semester block
does not effect programs in other
departments. Students parti ci-/
pating in the block must have a
1.25 grade point ration in their
subject field and are recommend
ed by selected professors in other
departments. The Department of
Education requires 24 credit
hours in subject matter for
secondary teachers, 18 for ele
mentary.
When students separate to their
student teaching assignments
March 23, they will return to
the campus once a week. A con
ference will be held at the depart
ment on Thursdays. The profes
sorial team will visit and confer
at student teaching stations.
One student pointed out an
attractive feature of the block:
“We don’t have to go through
all the red tap of registration.
All we have to do is go to the
department head, get our card
signed and check out.”
