Dean Describes New
Theory Of Teaching
A new theory of teaching is in
the making, according to Dr
Frank Henzlik, dean of Teachers
College at the University.
Addressing the opening session
of the annual two-day All-Teachers
College Conference Wednesday,
Dr. Henzlik labeled this new theory
the "motivational theory of learn
ing based on a new concept of the
perception."
In explanation of the new per
ception concept, he said, "We now
realize that what we know comes
largely from within and not from
stimuli in our surroundings. Our
perceptions really come from with
in and we see and make things
what they are in relationship to
our own experiences . .
This new concept, he said, is the
reverse of the old, which held that
people receive from without what
ever was aimed at them. Now it
is known that each person re
ceives something different and
that he interprets his present ex
periences by his past.
It is this new concept of the
perceptior that constitutes a new
world of learning. I believe it is
at the heart of the teaching-learning
process," he said.
He said the new theory "ac
counts for the fact that each of us
makes a person or the thing we
see or hear or feel what we . . ,
want to make k . . ."
The important thing, he said, is
what is inside, not outside, our
mind and it Is this "that makes
a different world in which each of
us lives."
To understand these different
worlds, he said, it is necessary to
share the worlds of other human
beings. "That is one reason the
role of the teacher is changing
from doing things with pupils," he
explained.
He pointed out that the old idea
of teaching was that students are
passive and their learning con
trolled by the teacher manipulating
external forces. Thus the stimulus
caused a response and learning
took place, he said.
Learning, it was said, meant
simply building up new stimulus
response to follows a particular
stimulus," Dr. Henzlik said.
From the old point of view, he
said, the role of the teacher was
to tell the student what to think
and to present subject matter to be
learned.
Approximately 750 educators are
attending the annual All-Teachers
College Conference at the Univer
sity, according to Dr. Frank Sor
enson, summer sessions director.
The conference began yester
day afternoon and will continue
