Teachers learning to teach: Stories teachers tell

This qualitative study explored the stories two teachers told about why they taught as they did. Each teacher was interviewed and observed to inform the question of how teachers' beliefs, knowledge, and experience influence their actions or practice. Two scholarly paths--teacher thinking and learning-to-teach--were used as guide posts for constructing a framework to analyze the beliefs, knowledge, and experience evidenced in the teachers' interviews and observations. The analyses revealed three categories of sources for beliefs. The first were those sources for beliefs emerging from personal experiences. The second type were those sources for beliefs originating from pre and inservice education. The third type were those sources for beliefs emerging from experiences associated with the context in which they taught. The breadth and depth of beliefs were revealed and verified by the observations.
