CP 94-3 Is There a Method in this Madness?
Abstract
In this essay, Wilson explores the idea of "method" in teacher education. Using her own teaching as the site for this inquiry, Wilson proposes three ways to think of method: the methods of subject matter, the methods of manner, and the methods of pedagogical reasoning. Wilson goes on to argue that teachers must learn methods of teaching that go well beyond learning how to lead discussions, create small groups activities, and use technology.
