An Exploration of the Relationship Between Teacher Thought Processes and Behavior.

MacKay, A.

This study examines the relationship between covert decisions by teachers and classroom behavior. The decisions of 12 classroom teachers were analyzed through stimulated recall and content analysis techniques. Results indicate that there is a clear and powerful relationship between thought and action. A majority of covert decisions led to immediate action in the classroom. Hypotheses for future research were generated. (Author/JD)
