The Impact of Subject Matter and Education Coursework on Teaching Performance.
Ferguson, Patrick; Womack, Sid T.
Journal of Teacher Education, v44 n1 p55-63 Jan-Feb 1993

Results indicated that coursework in teacher education made a positive difference in teaching performance and was a more powerful predictor of teacher effectiveness than measures of content expertise.
