Spring cleaning for the “messy” construct of teachers’ beliefs: What are they? Which have been examined? What can they tell us? (2012, background): “…may pertain to the level of specifi city at which beliefs and practices are assessed (e.g., Volume 1, Chapter 1, this handbook; Sahin et al., 2002 ; Wilcox-Herzog, 2002 ) and the extent to which the beliefs are newly formed or in transition (see later discussion on developmental changes), as well…”
Early Childhood Teachers' Curriculum Beliefs: Are They Consistent With Observed Classroom Practices? (2011, background): “…self-reported beliefs and self-reported behaviors, finding moderate associations between the two (e.g., Charlesworth et al., 1991), whereas other researchers have assessed self-reported beliefs and observed classroom practices, finding that they are not consistent (e.g., Wilcox-Herzog, 2002).”
Assessing Teachers' Epistemological and Ontological Worldviews (2008, background): “Although not part of the pilot study, teachers’ worldviews may be related to other classroom factors such as assessment and discipline practices (Brownlee & Berthelsen, 2006; Olafson & Schraw, 2006, 2002; White, 2000; Wilcox-Herzog, 2002).”
The Teacher Belief Q-Sort: A measure of teachers' priorities in relation to disciplinary practices, teaching practices, and beliefs about children (2006, background): “In fact, there are studies present in the literature that present the limitations of measuring teacher beliefs in that they show little relation to practices actually used in the classroom (e.g., Simmons et al., 1999; Wilcox-Herzog, 2003).”
Personality Characteristics and Teacher Beliefs among Pre-Service Teachers. (2008, background): “We recognize an imperfect correspondence between beliefs and practices (e.g., Wilcox-Herzog, 2002).”
Early childhood educators’ use of natural outdoor settings as learning environments: an exploratory study of beliefs, practices, and barriers (2014, background): “Wilcox-Herzog (2002) suggests the inconclusive and complex relationship between the two may be due to other potential influences on the link between beliefs and practices, such as situational factors like opportunities or constraints.”
