Subject-Matter Differences in Secondary Schools: Connections to Higher Education.
Stodolsky, Susan S.; Grossman, Pamela L.
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n64 p71-78 Win 1995
A study of the role of subject matter in shaping high school teachers' beliefs, curricular concerns, and instructional practices complements studies of the disciplines in higher education. Factors discussed include the "hard/soft" distinction between disciplines, curriculum sequencing, range of classroom techniques, breadth of course content, and implications of beliefs of future teachers about subject matter formed during higher education.
