Teacher Thinking

Originally published in 1983. A broad examination of the ways in which teachers gain and use knowledge about their work, this book presents a case study using retrospective interviews with a high school English teacher, which are analysed to describe and outline the structure of the knowledge she uses and the views she has of her concerns.
