The Relationship between Teachers' Beliefs and Practices in Reading Comprehension Instruction.

Richardson, Virginia; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v28 n3 p559-86 Fall 1991

The beliefs of 39 intermediate-level teachers (9 males and 30 females) from 6 elementary schools concerning their practices in reading comprehension instruction were determined via interviews and compared with observations of their practices. Teachers' beliefs corresponded with their practices. One case study illustrates an example where this was untrue. (SLD)
