Teachers' Pedagogical Thinking
Six authors in teacher education from the University of Helsinki asks readers to consider teachers from various points of view: their mindset, moral dilemmas, approach to rules, recipes for good teaching, and views of supervision. Posing the question as to how the quality of teaching can be improved, the authors answer, "A reflective teacher is one who uses the principles of research in his/her thinking in making decisions...." Most of the authors' conclusion are based upon research data from questionnaires, conferences, and interviews, primarily with Finns. No subject index.

Research Frames of the Finnish Curriculum
This monograph contains, in condensed form, the papers presented by the members of a joint working group of curriculum researchers at the Curriculum Seminar in Helsinki in Septemenber, 1986. The articles largely reflect the problems which curriculum researchers have in Finland. In this report, the curriculum has been confined to refer exclusively to advance planning. Six papers are included: (1) "Notes on Curriculum Research in the Sociology of Education" (Ari Antikainen); (2) "Curriculum From the Future-Oriented and Value-Futurological Perspective" (Sirkka Hirsjarvi); (3) "The Curriculum as a Factor Directing Teaching" (Pertti Kansanen); (4) "The Operational Structure of School Curriculum" (Paavo Malinen); (5) "Has Somebody Hidden the Curriculum?--the curriculum as a point of intersection between the utopia of civic society and the state control" (Risto Rinne); and (6) "The Role of the Curriculum in the Formation of the World View" (Juhani Suortti).
