Exploring Teachers' Views on Learning and Teaching in the Context of a Trans-Disciplinary Curriculum
Levin, Tamar; Nevo, Yael – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2009
This longitudinal case study of a single school examines changes in the educational beliefs of 10 elementary-school teachers who experienced a constructivist-based trans-disciplinary curriculum (CTC). After 3 years of experiencing a CTC, which emerges through theme-oriented and project-based learning, teachers' educational beliefs had changed to…
