How Do Teachers Understand Research When They Read It?

Zeuli, John S.

Teaching and Teacher Education, v10 n1 p39-55 Jan 1994

Study examined how teachers understand research in light of their prior beliefs about what research is and how it should influence their teaching by questioning 13 teachers about 5 articles they read. Found that many teachers focused on the product of research rather than the main ideas and evidence in support of that product. (MDM)
