Resolution passes asking improved teacher training
A resolution asking the University to encourage all departments to devise programs to improve training of assistant instructors was unanimously approved last night by the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
Dennis Quinn, chairman of the Committee on Instruction and professor of English, said such a program would improve teaching in classes on the undergraduate level.
A bulletin released last April by the Committee on Instruction suggested careful supervision of all inexperienced graduate student instructors by full-time faculty members.
Under terms of the resolution, the suggestion will now be presented to Provost James R. Surface for further consideration.
Speaking in support of the resolution, Donald R. McCoy, professor of history, said, "Presently there is no systematic program for supervision of assistant instructors among departments."
In answer to charges that such a program cannot be instituted without more funds, McCoy replied: "We can find funds. Too many students are being taught by assistant instructors—not by us."
Another resolution designed to give actual classroom activity greater consideration in promotion decisions was also approved.
James O. Maloney, professor of engineering, spoke against the resolution saying that such consideration would involve visits to classes and reviews of student questionnaires by the promotions committee.
The resolution passed, however, after the success of a University of Washington program based on student recommendations was cited.
Two resolutions were defeated. The first would have called for a broadened definition of "research" to include study done toward class improvement. It would have requested funds for "teaching-oriented research" as well as for research for publication.
The other defeated proposal would have channeled funds currently used for teaching awards toward research for the "improvement of teaching and revising of courses."

In presenting the resolutions to the group, Quinn said, the Committee on Instruction was organized two years ago to "investigate teacher responsibilities."
A list of student criticisms presented by the College Intermediary Board prompted the committee's formation, Quinn said.
While the committee recognizes "progress in teaching research," Quinn said, much more can be accomplished.
