Promoting Student Teacher Learning through Conceptual Change or Direct Instruction.
Tillema, H. H.; Knol, W. E.
Teaching and Teacher Education, v13 n6 p579-95 Aug 1997
The effects of prior beliefs on student teachers' construction and utilization of new educational knowledge bases were investigated. Students participated in either conceptual change or direct instruction programs. Although conceptual change outperformed direct instruction, results suggest that conceptual change can improve performance but only superficially if there is no concurrent belief change. (SM)
