Description
Summary:Conceptions of teaching is becoming a topical subject because of its impact on the quality of learning. In the last two decades there has been an exponential growth in the number of research studies focused on developing a corpus of knowledge and results. From the review of some of these studies, we find a number of taxonomies that help classify hierarchically the conceptions teachers have regardless of the subject or academic level they teach. Conceptions are either teacher- or student-oriented. This paper presents the most relevant features of the conceptions teachers may develop when teaching.
