Teaching as a Two-Way Street: Discontinuities Among Metaphors, Images, and Classroom Realities.
Dooley, Cindy
Journal of Teacher Education, v49 n2 p97-107 Mar-Apr 1998
One preservice teacher's images and metaphors about teaching and learning were used to investigate his difficulties in the classroom. Data from journal entries, observations, and interviews indicated that examination of metaphors and images encouraged him to reflect on his beliefs, assumptions, and approaches to teaching, providing a language that bridged the gap between theory and practice.
