| Abstract | This paper deals with questions having to do with the nature and effects of teachers' beliefs about schooling, and to the psychological relationship between theory and practice. It is posited that teachers' beliefs are likely to have a profound influence on their actions. A critical analysis of current school performance and teacher education methods leads to the conclusion that a single type of epistemology, primarily empiricist in nature, is pervasive in schools and in teacher education generally. Suggesting that the prevailing set of beliefs is over-simplistic, the primary problem of teacher training as a developmental issue is explored. The issue is addressed from a psychological point of view in terms of a proposed process of reflective inquiry. The inquiry model is then extended and it is argued that a similar inquiry system is necessary to help students build connections between theory and practice. Both uses of inquiry are illustrated by means of examples from other bodies of literature. A philosophical justification of a reflective inquiry approach to teacher education is presented with emphasis on the benefits in terms of teacher empowerment. A brief synopsis is presented of a current attempt to implement these ideas in the context of a foundational course in educational psychology. The primary purpose of the paper is to provide the basis for a new research agenda in teacher education. (JD) |
