The Training of Teaching Assistants in Departments of History.

Black, Beverly; Bonwell, Charles

History Teacher, v24 n4 p435-44 Aug 1991

Discusses the lack of teacher training provided for teaching assistants in history departments. Argues that emphasis on research and publication is misplaced because most new Ph.D.s will be teaching rather than publishing. Urges teacher training to prepare graduate students for their chosen profession and to improve undergraduate education. (DK)
