Teachers' Knowledge of Reading Instruction: A Description and Investigation of Effects.

Asselin, Marlene M.

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v43 n4 p235-52 Win 1997

Reanalysis of data on 154 British Columbia teachers and 2,533 third-grade students, drawn from the 1990-91 Reading Literacy Study of the International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement. Despite British Columbia's reputation for whole-language reforms, teacher approaches to reading instruction were eclectic and unrelated to teacher background, student background, or student achievement. Contains 77 references. (SV)
