Attitudes, Handles, and Methods: Developing Discussion in History Classes.
Abbott, Judith
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v6 n2 p47-55 1995
One college history teacher finds lively and constructive classroom discussion in a survey course is primarily a result of the teacher's attitudes toward and assumptions about students. The teacher must create a safe atmosphere in which students can speak, and be direct and respectful with students, which clears the classroom of anxiety and extraneous agendas. (Author/MSE)
