Is Animal Science Training Future Teachers?

Jack G. Riley1

Western Illinois University, Macomb 61455

Abstract

Brown and Thornton (1963) suggest several plans for increased competence in college teaching. Among these are separate doctorates for the teacher and researcher in each discipline; a revitalization of the master's degree as a teaching degree; the establishment of an intermediate degree based on 2 years of graduate study; or a conscious effort to plan that all interested doctoral candidates undergo a meaningful and supervised experience in teaching. The last alternative appears to me to offer the greatest potential for animal science disciplines and served as a basis for my suggestions. It seems the opinion that good teachers are born rather than trained is too prevalent. If men must be born, not taught, to teach, is not eugenics the only source also of doctors, lawyers, chemists and other professional people.
