摘要
The goal of this study is to characterize the patterns of teachers' beliefs regarding low-achieving students and instruction of higher order thinking. Subjects are 40 Israeli teachers. Results show that 45% of the teachers believe that higher order thinking is inappropriate for low-achieving students. Findings suggest that teachers' beliefs in this context are related to their general theory of instruction: viewing learning as hierarchical in terms of students' academic level was found to be related to a traditional view of learning i.e., seeing learning as progressing from simple, lower order cognitive skills to more complex ones. Implications for teacher education are discussed. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
