The Relationship between Undergraduate Course Work and Beliefs about Reading Instruction.

Wham, Mary Ann

Journal of Research and Development in Education, v27 n1 p9-17 Fall 1993

This 2-year study focused on preservice teachers' theoretical orientations to the reading process and examined the relationship of undergraduate coursework and the student teaching experiences to these orientations. Findings showed that half the students experienced no changes in theoretical orientation; for those who changed, coursework had greater influence than student teaching. (SM)
