A Framework and a Study to Characterize a Teacher’s Goals for Student Learning
Page: 212
In this study, a secondary school teacher’s goals for student learning were characterized using a framework that emerged from prior work. Observed lessons spanning the use of both conceptually rich and skill-based curricula were analyzed. The findings suggest that both challenges and opportunities exist for professional development endeavors that center around perturbing a teacher's goals.
