Direct linkSalloum, Sara; Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
This study further extends a conceptual framework that explores science teaching as a "practice" not reducible to the application of formal knowledge, but as informed by teachers' practical-moral knowledge. A hermeneutic model was developed to examine practical-moral knowledge "indirectly" by investigating teachers'…
