Abstract
Certain beliefs and theories of teachers outstanding at promoting students' thinking are compared to those of teachers less-than outstanding. Analysis reveals that differences exist between the two groups regarding their instructional goals, conceptions of thinking, and views on the dilemma of depth vs breadth of content coverage. Results may provide direction for pre- and in-service teacher training efforts which attempt to facilitate teachers' instructional practices in the area of thinking by engaging teachers' in reflection about practice.Keywords
