Description
Summary:The particular relationship between a teacher and his/her subject is the focus of this article. It reports on an analysis of the way in which this relationship is conceptualized in educational research. Four thematic fields emerged from the review,i.e., teachers’ beliefs on, knowledge of, emotions on, and commitment to the subject. Within each thematic field we described major findings regarding the way in which the relation between the teacher and the subject taught is described in educational research. Based on the review, we stress the need for research that takes not only seriously the cognitive, but also the affective relationship of the teacher with its subject.
