Bartholomew says field work is required by the state, but is very important for students to see teaching in the real world.
The elementary/middle education major “includes content rich in curriculum theory, assessment, literacy, education psychology and classroom management, using technology in the classroom as well as courses in teaching in various subject areas included in elementary curricula” (UNE EDU).
The idea of an enriched major encourages “students not only to explore a field in depth, but also help them [to] put their field of study in perspective” (Boyer, 110).
Carter talks about four metagenres: problem solving, empirical inquiry, research from resources, and call for performance.
