In this review of studies an answer is looked for the questions of the title, and an attempt is made to construct a system of integrative knowledge which can be utilized to benefit student teachers in their studies as well as teachers in their life-long learning. The teacher's practical theory is a scattered and non-uniform concept in educational studies. The teacher's beliefs is a wide construct which, in addition to the practical theory, contains self-efficacy, i.e., a motivational aspect. So far, the research has analyzed the sources of the teacher’s self-efficacy but also its connection to the teacher’s way of thinking, emotions, quality of the teaching, and the pupil's acting and learning. Emotions are an essential power in improving the quality of teaching and the student-teacher interaction. In summary, the teacher's practical theory, self-efficacy and emotions are essential research themes in educational research, but usually they have been studied separately from each other. However, in the past few years there have appeared studies which have managed to incorporate emotion and self-efficacy in the same research. In practice, a teacher has to function as a whole person and has to take into consideration the challenges of the context, so the need for more integrative research designs will be growing.

In this paper we analyze didactical positions among teachers in the Danish Upper Secondary School. We discuss how the positions are influenced by the reform from 2005. We argue that a social oriented constructivism has been strengthened by the reform and an objectivistic approach has been weakened. By analyzing data from three subjects – Social Science, Danish and Physics – we show that the changes of power relations have different didactical consequences within the three subjects. Another point is that the reform with its focus on application, innovative skills, inter-disciplinarity and study competence has not changed the didactical positions of teachers radically. They prefer to use already existing approaches to create a practice they can accept. Also we show that the reality of diversity among students is important when it comes to the question how teachers position themselves towards learning and teaching. In the end of the paper we discuss what it means to lead an Upper Secondary School where different positions towards didactics coexist.
