Teachers' Beliefs about Teaching and Learning: A Constructivist Perspective.
Prawat, Richard S.
American Journal of Education, v100 n3 p354-95 May 1992
New constructivist approaches to teaching and learning are at odds with much of what teachers believe. Four questionable sets of beliefs that may be obstacles to adopting a constructivist approach to teaching and learning are reviewed. Real educational reforms will require changes in many teacher ideas. (SLD)
