Preservice Teachers' Construction of Professional Knowledge: Teacher Learning about Literacy Education.

Cox, Beverly E.; Fang, Zhihui; Carriveau, Richard; Dillon, Deborah; Hopkins, Carol; Nierstheimer, Susan

National Reading Conference Yearbook, v47 p508-16 1998

Uses concept maps to reveal important changes in the knowledge base of preservice teachers. Finds that preservice teachers in a school-based, three-course "literacy block" constructed richer, more professional, and more complete concept maps (relating more literacy teaching and subject-matter ideas together with logically appropriate connectors) than the university-based group with fewer hours in the elementary school.
