This book addresses one of the most basic but problematic questions in education - what do teachers do? After reviewing various paradigms of teaching - as common sense, art, craft competence and so on - Squires goes on to develop a theory of professional disciplines based on three common characteristics: instrumentality, contingency and procedurality. He then uses this to construct a detailed model for the analysis of teaching, both at the level of the course and the single class, and offers answers to three basic questions: What do teachers do? What affects what they do? And how do they do it? The model is related both to the age-old theory-practice debate and to contemporary research on professional expertise. The book ends by critically assessing its implications for current approaches to pedagogical research teacher training, and the evaluation of teaching, both in the schools sector and beyond.
