Biology Teachers' Perceptions of Subject Matter Structure and Its Relationship to Classroom Practice.
Gess-Newsome, Julie; Lederman, Norman G.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v32 n3 p301-25 Mar 1995
Investigated the nature of biology teachers' global content understandings, and sources and formation of subject matter structures (SMSs). Reports that the initial formation of SMSs was credited to college content courses and modified by the act of teaching. Variables that differentially affected SMS translation included teacher intentions, content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, students, teacher autonomy, and time. Contains 44 references.
