Methods of Teaching Animal Husbandry to College Students

University of Wyoming

Abstract

Any discussion pertaining to instructional methods may be approached from at least four viewpoints, namely: Selection of material.

Organization.

Presentation.

Follow-up for results.

Selection of Material

The selection and the organization of subject-matter are closely allied to its presentation in the classroom. Sources for selection of material are, no doubt, quite similar for all teachers of animal husbandry, and it is taken for granted that instructors do include the latest proven investigations and practices in their classroom material. With the advent of Smith-Hughes and 4-H club work it might seem desirable to eliminate some of the more elementary features from beginning college courses in order to avoid repetition. It is perhaps best, however, not to take too much for granted from vocational agriculture students. In at least some high school courses the subjects in agriculture are so very elementary as to benefit the student only as a demonstration that there is a specialized field of technical agriculture.
