Professors know a lot, but they are rarely taught how to teach. The
author of the Chronicle of Higher Education's popular "Pedagogy
Unbound" column explains everything you need to know to be a
successful college instructor. College is changing, but the way we
train academics is not. Most professors are still trained to be
researchers first and teachers a distant second, even as scholars
are increasingly expected to excel in the classroom. There has been
a revolution in teaching and learning over the past generation, and
we now have a whole new understanding of how the brain works and
how students learn. But most academics have neither the time nor
the resources to catch up to the latest research or train
themselves to be excellent teachers. The Missing Course offers
scholars at all levels a field guide to the state of the art in
teaching and learning and is packed with invaluable insights to
help students learn in any discipline. Wary of the folk wisdom of
the faculty lounge, David Gooblar builds his lessons on the newest
findings and years of experience. From active-learning strategies
to course design to getting students talking, The Missing Course
walks you through the fundamentals of the student-centered
classroom, one in which the measure of success is not how well you
lecture but how much students learn. Along the way, readers will
find ideas and tips they can use in their classrooms right away.
