"College Teaching" by Paul Klapper is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This work discusses the methods and issues surrounding teaching in higher education, particularly focusing on the challenges and potential improvements necessary for effective college pedagogy. It is aimed at educators in the college sector who are seeking to enhance their teaching methods and address pedagogical gaps in the field. The opening of "College Teaching" sets the stage by highlighting a significant deficiency in the literature concerning college education compared to the well-developed literature on elementary and secondary education. Klapper emphasizes the importance of quality teaching as a vital part of the educational process, expressing a hope to ignite scholarly interest in college pedagogy. He acknowledges the historical reliance on clergymen and bookish graduates for teaching positions and calls for a more structured approach to teacher training, suggesting that current pedagogical practices often lack the necessary foundation and methodical insight, which can lead to a disconnect between teaching and student learning experiences. This preface establishes a critical view of higher education pedagogy that should resonate with educators looking to improve their instructional techniques and the overall effectiveness of college education.
