In recent years teacher cognition research has generated interest
in how teachers actually teach and the factors underlying their
pedagogical decision-making. Research in teacher education has
begun to shed light on the complex cognitive processes teachers
undergo in formal learning situations provided by teacher
education. However, to date very little research has been conducted
on in-service teacher education, even less so in language teacher
education. This book explores the ways in which language teacher
education impacts on teachers' prior beliefs and classroom
practices with reference to three illuminating case studies which
examine the development of the grammar teaching beliefs and
practices of three practising teachers of English taking an MA
course in Turkey. Greater understanding of the relationship between
teacher education, teacher beliefs and classroom practices may help
teacher educators to make more sense of their work, to better
understand the factors which facilitate and hinder teacher
learning, and ultimately to contribute to the provision of more
effective teacher education.
