What Theory into Practice?
Wadd, Keith
Educational Review, v34 n3 p219-28 Nov 1982
This paper proposes that the practice of teaching is an interactional activity involving "handling" pupils on the basis of an organized learning experience. The teacher's expertise in handling, it is argued, stems primarily from an on-the-job accumulation of "contextual theory" which guides classroom interventions. (Author/CT)
