A Framework for Connecting Beliefs about Knowledge and Teaching

Teaching is a reciprocal and complex act. Parker Palmer (1998) argues that teaching is one of the most personal things we do publicly because of the connections we make with the subject matter we teach and our students – both of which are things that we, as teachers, care deeply about. It is these myriad connections that contribute to the complexity of teaching. One must also take standards and local cultures into account. Within this intricate web are the teacher and his or her (often hidden) beliefs about what he or she knows. By working to connect these beliefs to what happens in classrooms, teachers will have a way to make their work, and that of their students, more intentional.

In the fall, student teachers will be conducting research in a content area and, using what they have learned as the basis for designing and implementing instructional units for their students. They will then use the framework below for looking at what happens in classrooms. The framework is divided into two categories; the goal of these categories is to shed light on different aspects of a teacher’s practice. They are not meant as a tool for easy categorization, for that would be impossible and superfluous. Rather, they are meant as a tool for examining and understanding different aspects of the complex process of teaching and learning.

This social network is intended to engage the Bennington Teacher Education community in a conversation about our common understandings of ourselves as teachers and as knowers.

Explanation of the Framework
To learn, students need to use the information they learn to create of relationships between their own experiences and the ideas that emerge from and are contained within the information learned. Teachers, in turn, need to balance what happens in the classroom; they need to design experiences in which students are gaining information as well as creating meaning. The framework is a tool for examining what is happening in classrooms with the idea that there is a need to balance the two perspectives – students need to have information and study existing ideas as they construct their own meanings. The question for teachers is how to balance the two perspectives. It is by connecting teachers’ beliefs about the nature of knowledge (through the two perspectives of these dimensions) with what is actually happening in classrooms that we are better able to analyze instructional decisions.

Applying the Framework

The Course

Conceptions and Misconceptions
is an undergraduate course that was co-taught by Carol Meyer and Bryan Duff. Below you will find the syllabus and students describing their perception of what we wanted them to learn. For us, the essence of the course was for students to consider the intersection of experiential knowledge with academic knowledge. Within the course, we focused on learning history and math. In the audiofile, we also describe why we chose those areas.

What we wanted students to learn.

Below are a series of videos. It is the students who make connections between who we, Bryan and Carol, are as knowers and what happens in the classroom. The videos of us teaching are annotated with comments connecting the framework with what is happening in the classroom.
