Vickery, Tom Rusk; Brown, Bob Burton – 1967
To investigate the use of measures of belief and systematic observations of classroom behavior to increase consistency between beliefs and teaching practices, 3 questions were posed: (1) Will teachers develop a more consistent body of beliefs when given empirical evidence of their logical inconsistency? (2) Will such teachers come to behave more…
