Ap proximately 150 years ago in the United States, the universities also assumed an increasingly stronger role in career preparation. The marriage of the two has been, at best, tentative and uncomfortable. Curricula which lead to professional careers, particularly in the sciences, dogmatically include a set number of elective humanities courses to provide the student with a liberal education. The liberal education, however, is often seen by students, instructors and administrators, as a re quirement separate and secondary to the goal of career preparation. Students feel themselves caught in a fragmented cur riculum. To provide a broad-based education, to motivate students toward the goal of a liberal educa tion, and to match educational needs as perceived by students, the humanities courses which have potential relevance to professional development should be modified to be included in a curriculum of career preparation.","PeriodicalId":126898,"journal":{"name":"Improving College and University Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133581442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That such problems exist is attested to by the number of university and college lec turers who are uncomfortable in this teaching situation. These difficulties are not so much an inherent part of the method as a function of the way it is used. Potts (8) has outlined many of the disadvantages of small group work, focusing particularly on the point that the nor mal tutorial or seminar does not provide sufficient space for participants to express themselves. With a meeting time of fifty-five minutes, a group of one tutor and ten students have, theoretically, five minutes speaking time each. However, we know that speaking time is not allocated so evenly.

The instruc tional technique and its content are relevant to a wide range of courses, not only to those on ethnic relations. Bower cites evidence that visual imagery can aid the learning of abstractions (2). The abstraction here is that social change in America forms three phases: agrarian, industrial and post-industrial (1). This history of the na tion frames that of its ethnic groups, and both are il lustrated with photographs and music in this slide and music presentation. Our approach is consistent with the statement of Brown, Lewis and Harcleroad (5) on the merits of still photography in instruction, and that of Quinney, (8) and Smith (9) on the use of film in the teaching of social science. It is also consistent with our experience. Recognizing that students are individuals and respond as such to instruction (7), we nonetheless find that in our own state university most students come from culturally homogeneous backgrounds and have a time perspective bound by their own biographies. It is dif ficult to teach about different ethnic groups in an historical framework. Therefore, we developed a slide and music presentation.
