| Description | The purpose of this study is to present a theoretical review of the main results of studies on Teachers' Subjective Theories (STs), in order to establish the contribution of this research program to studies on teacher education. The study describes a research program devoted to STs and its place within the wider field of teacher education research. The analysis conducted reveals that the most relevant findings of this study include making STs explicit, developing teachers' self-knowledge, complexity, agentivity, epistemology, and changing their subjective theories. The article provides a discussion of the impact of STs on teacher education research and analyzes the limitations of these studies. |
