title = "Assessing prospective teachers' prior views on teaching as knowledge building practice",
abstract = "In this exploratory study, we pre-assess prospective teachers' beliefs in teaching and conceptions about knowledge-building as an initial step to design a teacher-education course for cultivating future knowledge-building teachers. Preliminary findings based on surveys and interview indicate: (a) while prospective teachers' teaching beliefs were relatively constructivist, they did not seem to prepare these teachers to readily accept the knowledge-building concepts as applicable; and (b) the prospective teachers' prior knowledge and schooling experiences play an important role in influencing how they view knowledge-building concepts and practice. Implications for instructional design are discussed.",
