Summary:

Teachers' knowledge of the subjects they teach has been of enduring interest to governments, the profession and the wider society. In this book, Viv Ellis traces the development of three beginning teachers' thinking about their subject knowledge in the context of the teaching standards and the practice of 'auditing' student teachers' subject knowledge. Ellis puts forward a theory of subject knowledge development that moves on from the objectivist and individualistic epistemologies associated with standards and the practices of auditing to more a contextualist and sociocultural understanding of cognition and learning.
