I've been reading this debate and I must side with Louis on this
issue. There is research out there that has looked at experts and
one factor that has been noted is that knowledge of the subject does
NOT make a good teacher - these are separate skills and knowledge
bases (pedagogical vs. subject or content matter). I know that I was
trained to be a researcher, not a teacher.
Our department is in the College of Education and ed students take
courses in how to teach
What they learn is another question.
My wife the Elementary School Principal says that teacher's get most
of their relevant training in student teaching; the Ed School courses
tend to be too theory driven to be useful.
