The Critical Knowledge Needed by the Teacher
What subject-matter knowledge does the effective teacher need to know?
- Carol Lands operated on the basis of certain ideas called "theories-in-use". A theory is a unapproved explanation of why something happens and the way it does.
- We all have our own ideas of theories in use. i.e food is healthy because it does good for our body.
- Carol Lands believes that student groups should be operated democratically, not ran by a student or giving students warning before punishing, those are just two of her ideas, some are obviously questionable.
- Carol never questioned her conceptions. Theories were the last thing in her mind, even though they helped.
- Teachers need to understand that content of the subjects they teach well enough to analyze and convey their elements, logic, possible uses, and social biases.
- Teachers must understand the school curriculum that students are expected to know.
- Teachers must also have a pedagogical knowledge
- . Pedagogical content knowledge: knowledge that bridges content knowledge and pedagogy. They have to know how to organize, represent, and adapt topics, problems, and issues to the interests and abilities of learners and then they have to present it well.

How can Theoretical Knowledge be Used?
N.L. Gage of Stanford University and Robert Marieeno both believe that teaching cannot be reduced by recipes for actors it is a blend of art and science.
Teaching is an art because they spontaneously handle a huge number of factors that are most often unpredictable. At the same time, teaching is science. For example, the research on academic engagement of keeping students on task.
Teachers use knowledge on research on these relationships to accomplish a unique moving classroom filled with students.
- Like Carol, we all have our own theories-in-use but they need to be challenged and tested.
- Theoretical knowledge can be used in two ways: to interpret new or ambiguous situations and to solve problems.
- The book claims that teachers need more than common sense about human emotion, they need theoretical knowledge to branch out on specific terms and techniques.
- They are able tp draw from theories to assist them in aiding children and improve their teaching techniques.
