Abstract
available few of facilities parallel to those which support the research role. Training in teaching for sociology graduate students dates back to 1921, but only since the late 1960s has it begun to take root. And only in the past five years have forums for continuing contacts among sociologists interested in teaching come into existence. While some sociologists believe that teaching is an unfathomable art, there are several areas of collegiate instruction about which much is reliably known. The literature on the teaching of sociology dates back to at least 1895 and includes between 400 and 500 articles and books. There was a decline in publication after World War II and a resurgence after 1965. This article holds that the theory and substantive work of sociology has much to contribute to learning to teach sociology; the projected decline in the proportion of Ph.D. sociologists who will teach is not an adequate reason to diminish concern with teaching; and there is some evidence supporting the effectiveness of purposive teacher training activities.
