Abstract

The development of wisdom and expertise in teaching is described by teachers from their perspective of practice.

Wisdom is defined as entailing self-questioning; teaching from the students' point of view; respecting students struggles to make sense out of the world; and what is called a developmental perspective on teaching, learning and instruction. The practice gives rise to these definitions which are subsequently grounded in developmental theory. This theory, in turn, continues to inform the practice.
