Sociocultural model of embedded
belief systems
• The sociocultural model of embedded belief
systems drives much of the research today.
• This is a blended model emerging from
theoretical models of social psychology (Jaccard,
Litardo, & Wan, 1999).
• There is a movement away from initial
behaviorist cause-and-effect of teacher/learner
behaviors and instructional choices toward the
development of definitions of attitudes and
beliefs and the impact over time in the larger
cultural context.
• Definitions of ourselves as science teachers (and
learners) [are] bound to our belief systems,
epistemologies, prior experiences, motivation,
knowledge, and skills
• Belief systems influence how teachers interact with
students, and the strategies they use for instruction
(van
• Science teachers’ attitudes are strongly influenced by
epistemological beliefs which may include, for
example, beliefs about science, beliefs about teaching
science, and beliefs about learning science.
• These factors are “linked to each other with reciprocal
influence and are embedded in the larger sociocultural environment which includes students, peer
teachers, parents, administrators, families,
communities and political/government environments
