Four Kinds of Teacher Knowledge
Captions available
The idea
Shulman described four kinds of teacher knowledge: practical, from teaching itself; case, from other teachers' experience; theoretical, from ideas; and empirical, from research.
In practice
A teacher who reads a study on feedback is adding empirical knowledge.
Where people slip
Educational psychology supplies mainly the last two kinds, theoretical and empirical; practical and case knowledge come from classrooms.
