Show moreIn an effort to resolve the declining popularity of World History in the Community Junior College, "A New Use for Generalizations in the Teaching of World History" was designed. Students have rebelled at traditional World History courses because they have been forced to memorize masses of irrelevant data; they have not been shown meaningful transitions that would give students a sense of confidence in their inheritance from the past; and students have not received help from World History content to solve current problems. "Living Ages," a syllabus for a World History course using generalizations was included in the dissertation. The course had been taught by Mary Stanton while head of the Social Science Department and professor of history at Palm Beach Atlantic College in West Palm Beach. A slight revision of the chronological time-line models gave more time for the emerging Third World Nations. The author's current revision utilizing the principles of the doctoral dissertation will make the course ready to teach as a survey of World History on the college level.
