Teacher scripts in science teaching, Teaching and Teacher Education, 26, 6, 1269-1279, 2010.0742-051XAUT: RUT01409;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/4105Awareness of teacher scripts is of crucial importance to reflection on practice, and represents one means of widening the scope of classroom performance. The first part of this work provides a full description of three scripts employed by a novice science teacher within the topic of The Structure of Flowers, and offers a detailed illustration (including a transcription excerpt, a routine, three scripts and an improvisation) of how these were derived by means of a Modelling Instrument (MI). In the second part, the relationships between beliefs and actions are explored through tree diagrams. Finally, there is a discussion of how entrenched scripts may act as obstacles to professional development.engTeacher's beliefs and actionsModelling instrumentScriptsScience teachingTree diagramsjournal article2014-05-22http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tate.2010.01.004
