Two Views of the Role of Research on Teacher Thinking. Issue Paper 90-4.
Floden, Robert E.; And Others
This Issue Paper includes two papers: (1) "What Can Research on Teacher Thinking Contribute to Teacher Preparation? A Second Opinion," by Robert E. Floden and Hans Gerhard Klinzing, and (2) "Taking Account of the Distinction between Knowing and Thinking in Teaching," by Magdalene Lampert and Christopher Clark. Both sets of authors are working to discern the ways in which research can contribute to practice and improvements in practice. The Floden/Klinzing paper reviews literature on this topic, taking issue in particular with earlier work by Lampert and Clark. The Lampert/Clark paper is less a rebuttal to Floden and Klinzing than an effort to clarify and further develop their own ideas. The content of these papers should help readers in a variety of contexts better understand the relationship between research and teaching. (Author/JD)
