| Description | The paper reviews research on teachers‘ subjective theories and identifies key concepts and relevant contexts, namely the relationship between the quality of teachers’ subjective theories and the quality of instruction and teachers‘ professional development. The focus lies on research that methodologically builds on studies carried out in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the studies show that the discrepancies between teachers‘ thinking and acting can be attributed to psychological phenomena such as self-efficacy. Towards the end of the paper, opportunities and questions are discussed of using the findings of basic research into teachers‘ subjective theories for the purposes of initiating changes in teachers‘ thinking and acting as part of educational research and teachers’ professional development in the Czech Republic. |
