The purpose of this study is to help teacher educators better understand beliefs that teacher candidates bring to their teacher education program as we try to influence their knowledge and practices. 10.1177/0022487107310749}, author = {Levin, Barbara and He, Ye}, citeulike-article-id = {2210220}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0022487107310749}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://jte.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/59/1/55}, day = {1}, doi = {10.1177/0022487107310749}, journal = {Journal of Teacher Education}, keywords = {denken-handeln, lehrerbildung, lehrerverhalten, pedagogicalcontentknowledge, wissen, wissensbereiche}, month = {February}, number = {1}, pages = {55--68}, posted-at = {2008-02-04 08:50:59}, priority = {2}, title = {Investigating the Content and Sources of Teacher Candidates' Personal Practical Theories (PPTs)}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0022487107310749}, volume = {59}, year = {2008} }
