History of Teaching and Learning (220 pts)

Having a sense and perspective of the history of teaching and learning allows the practitioner to build a foundation of knowledge upon which to construct deeper and larger perspectives of the teaching and learning process. It also allows for a clearly focused understanding of teaching and learning from the American perspective, which provides opportunities to conduct research and gain knowledge in clearly applicable, relevant, and defined ways. In this assignment, you will consider the common perspectives and key theories of teaching and learning in the American context.

Teacher Education and the Purposes of History

To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on theJea, though many there be that have tried it.

The two of us spend much of our professional time preparing history and so- cial studies teachers. We have taught thousands of students in our methods courses, along with hundreds more in workshops or graduate classes. We know this includes a great many success stories-teachers who provide excit- ing instruction for their students in ways consistent with what we have taught them. Others have adopted our suggestions less wholeheartedly but with se- lective enthusiasm for practices we consider important-good literature, or inquiry, or conflicting viewpoints, or open-ended writing. Yet we fear these success stories may pale in comparison with the number of teachers who have ignored our ideas completely. As we look around, we have to admit that many classrooms (the majority? the vast majority?) show little evidence of the cur- ricular and instructional perspectives we have tried to promote. Around the country, we have hundreds of colleagues who prepare teachers much as we do (many with greater ability and enthusiasm, no doubt), yet we fear their ex- periences may be the same as ours-plenty of individual success stories but no widespread or systematic changes in teaching.

Why is this? How can our efforts at developing teachers' understanding of instructional methods leave so little imprint on classroom practice? Why aren't all children using a variety of sources to develop interpretations of history? Surely teachers who have taken courses from us or our colleagues know that history is an interpretive, inquiry-oriented subject involving mul- tiple perspectives, and they must know how to implement the practice in the classroom, at least in an introductory way. Yet maybe knowing isn't enough. From a sociocultural perspective, after all, what people know–conceived of as individual cognition-is less important than how they act purposefully (and how they use cultural tools to do so). To under- stand why teachers engage in the practices they do, perhaps we need to turn to the socially situated purposes that guide their actions. While we are at it,

TEACHER EDUCATION 245

maybe we should ask ourselves, as teacher educators, whether we are help- ing them explore themes "mighty" enough to lead to the kinds of instruc- tion we hope for.

TEACHER KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION REFORM

Marilyn Cochran-Smith and Susan Lytle note that over the last two de- cades, teacher learning has been at the forefront of efforts at improving education and that "it has been more or less assumed that teachers who know more teach better." This has not always been so: Perspectives on the teacher's role in improving instruction have undergone a number of changes over the past half century. Behaviorists of the 1950s, for example, emphasized the transformative potential of teaching machines and pro- grammed instruction; from their viewpoint, the teacher was little more than a manager of the classroom who needed little specialized knowledge. Similarly, in the 1960s, a variety of national organizations created and field tested new reading materials, artifact kits, and classroom activities that focused on the concepts and procedures of the academic disciplines. Although rarely dismissing teacher knowledge directly, these movements clearly hoped to promote instructional reform by improving curricular materials rather than by addressing teachers' ideas; teachers were respon- sible primarily for implementing the innovations developed by others. By the mid-1970s, reform efforts (and much academic research) focused less on curricular innovation and more on "teaching behaviors7'-the set of generic skills that were believed to result in higher levels of student achievement (such as pacing, wait time, feedback, and so on). Although this approach put teachers at the center of instructional improvement, it deemphasized their role as knowledgeable professionals and centered in- stead on changing observable behavior through structured systems of feedback.'

Over the last 20 years, though, most theory and research on teachers' ed- ucation and professional development has focused on precisely the area ne- glected in previous work-their active role in designing and implementing instruction. This work has been grounded in the assumption that teachers are ultimately responsible for what goes in their classrooms; they serve as "brokers" or "gatekeepers" who select from and transform the array of pos- sible curricula, resources, and instructional strategies to provide concrete learning activities for students. As Stephen Thornton puts it, "As gatekeep- ers, teachers make the day-to-day decisions concerning both the subject matter and the experiences to which students have access and the nature of that subject matter and those experiences." If teachers' decisions shape their students' curricular and instructional experiences, then it seems logi- cal to assume that we need to understand the thinking behind those deci- sions, and a large body of research has been devoted to this topic. Although this research has employed a number of different theoretical frameworks
