ISATT -

ISATT was founded in October 1983 at a Symposium for Research on Teacher Thinking at Tilburg University, The Netherlands. 

The Association’s aim is to increase insights into the identity, role, contexts and work of teachers, and the process of teaching. Therefore, the key goals of ISATT are to enhance the quality of teaching at all levels of education and to act as a forum to promote, present, discuss and disseminate research findings which contribute to knowledge and the formation of theory in this field.
