Title
DEALING WITH PROSPERITY AND DEPRESSION: THE INTEREST METHOD IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE HISTORY UNIT.
Creator
MOSES, JAMES HENRY., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description

The philosophy behind the interest method stems from the conflict between elitist and realist thinking at the community college level. This clash is often reflected in poor student-response and in effective teaching. The interest method integrates the positive points of each philosophy.

Show moreThis thesis contends that using the interest method of teaching history motivates learning and maintains the challenge of teaching. The philosophy behind the interest method stems from the conflict between elitist and realist thinking at the community college level. This clash is often reflected in poor student-response and in effective teaching. The interest method integrates the positive points of each philosophy. All student levels are served without sacrificing individual achievement groups or course material. The instructor's intellectual activity is also stimulated promoting teaching efficiency and enthusiasm. The prosperity and depression decades (1920-1940) are chosen to best illustrate the interest method.

NEW USE FOR GENERALIZATIONS IN THE TEACHING OF WORLD HISTORY

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.
