DIAZ L, Claudio; MARTINEZ I, Patricia; ROA G, Iris  y  SANHUEZA J, María Gabriela. Teachers' in the current society: their pedagogical beliefs and cognition about the teaching-learning process. Polis [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.25, pp.421-436. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682010000100025.

This paper examines the different conceptualizations of teachers' cognition from a socio-constructivist perspective. It approaches cognition as a conceptual, personal, subjective and dynamic base that has a significant impact on both teachers' performance and behavior in the classroom, and on the process of change and innovation in Education. Exploring teachers' cognition can certainly enrich the teaching and learning process and can serve as a basis for professional development in Higher Education.

Palabras clave : cognition; pedagogical practices; teacher; beliefs.
