Teaching beliefs and conceptions – a conceptual map

It seems clear that teachers’ beliefs and conceptions influence their teaching practices. However, in terms of the conceptualisation and terminology of these concepts, controversy remains. The present paper analyzes theories and findings concerning teaching beliefs and conceptions in order to characterize these and related concepts. The goal is to develop a conceptual map that shows the relationships between these concepts.
