- W2323092846 abstract "When I completed teaching Wilhelm Tell a few years ago I felt discouraged because the play had found little favorable response among my students. Then it occurred to me that the difficulty was not their reaction to the play in itself, but their reaction to its classical' elements. Students confronted with something new and strange which they must master for examination purposes, cannot be expected to like it at the outset. From the first day of formal education children learn to submit to their teachers' requirements, learn that to pass they must accept the teacher's leadership. But they often resist. Young students-with exceptions, of course-do not learn actively and willingly, but because they must, and this behaviour pattern often continues at the university. So when in the fall of 1955 I taught the play again I decided to spend the entire opening session in establishing active student participation. I explained that I was interested most in the opinions of each student and anxious to hear what they expected from this course. I encouraged them to say what they thought. And at the end of the course I suggested they write an essay on what Wilhelm Tell meant to them as modern students. They had not been notified previously of this; they already had been given their term's marks and were assured their comments would not affect their academic standing. Very early I learned that students buy a textbook usually without giving much thought to its author or its contents. They simply carry out an instruction. When, opening Wilhelm Tell, they discovered what it was all about, they thought, Horrors, a classical play! Well, it's got to be done, so let's get it over with-at least this had been the frame of mind in which most students came to their first class." @default.
