Teachers' Concepts of Knowledge and Their Behavior Characterizations

The cognition of knowledge is the logical start point of the whole education and teaching activities.With the transition of the human society,the nature of knowledge is changing from absolute truth to knowledge construct,from value neutrality to value linkage,from knowledge hierarchy to knowledge classification,and from pervasive knowledge to situational knowledge.Whereas the diversity of the concepts of knowledge,teachers behave differently on the cognition and solutions of practical problems such as selection of curriculum structures and contents,transformation of knowledge,training of abilities as well as teachers' self-development.Hence,to achieve the in-depth reformation of teachers' behavior characterizations,a way must be sought from the source of the problem,i.e.reconstruction of teachers' knowledge structure.
