About the Book
The lack of an agreed theory of teaching is one of the most important and yet intractable problems facing education. Questions of training and assessment currently take place according to the criteria of many and diverse theories, most of which are dualistic and incompatible with each other. Squires proposes a new integrated model of teaching, derived from aspects of the professional discipline of teaching. The three characteristics of the professional teacher are laid out - being instrumental, being contingent, and being procedural. The resulting multi-dimensional model will challenge and stimulate anyone with an interest in the constitution of professional discipline.
