Teacher Thinking: A Critical Analysis of Four Studies.
Lowyck, Joost
This paper reviews critically four studies on teacher thinking as conducted at the Center for Instructional Psychology, University of Leuven, Belgium. The four empirical studies were: (1) a process analysis of teaching; (2) subjective problems of student teachers while teaching; (3) context variables during lesson planning; and (4) post-interactive reflections of teachers. The critiques present discussions on the following elements of the studies: (1) data from the literature; (2) data from the descriptive-empirical research; (3) research methodology used in the study; and (4) results. Included in the discussion are analyses of the cognitive processes of teachers in the pre-active (planning) phase, the interactive phase; and the post-interactive phase of teaching a unit of study. A discussion is presented of results of the four studies grouped into categories: (1) substantial results; (2) methodological questions; and (3) theoretical value of the studies. Seven pages of references are included. (JD)
