Due to its many nuances, Journalism is one of the hardest subjects to learn as well as teach. After all, Journalism encompasses far more than just competent writing skills alone. Students will also have to learn about how to conduct proper research, how to identify a reputable source, how to write using a non-biased and professional voice, and far more.
Without a skilled instructor, there’s the risk of a generation of future journalists being cast to the wind and left to learn the ropes on their own.
The significance of proper teaching is why tests such as the OSAT Journalism test exists. Like other tests of its kind, the OSAT Journalism test is designed to assess the readiness of today’s incoming Oklahoman teachers are to enter the professional world, its contents based on what teachers will need to know both in terms of their subject and actual teaching ability.
