The Five Dimensions of a Discourse Community: Valuing

Valuing really applies to the methods of teaching that history professors have. They make an impact in the world by educating as efficiently as possible. They present the material as clearly as possible, and have attained an extensive body of knowledge throughout their years of study and research with which to answer students’ confused questions. Despite the fact that history is about everything in the past, history professors use updated forms of technology to communicate proficiently. With a perpetually changing world, it is important to keep up to date with new forms of technology, as each generation of students will be accustomed to different devices. Values are constantly changing in any field. With new research and new trends that develop, it does not make sense for one to retain the same teaching methods used in 1990. History professors must always be kept up to date with these new trends.
