Descripción: Research on academics' conceptions of teaching hopes to enhance understanding of how and why the process of teaching in higher education looks and works the way it does. The following work critically examines this body of literature and identifies problems associated with terminology use, construct definition and methodological procedures. As a way of providing an explanation for the insufficiently elaborated methodologies used in the empirical literature, it uses a data set similar to those used in other studies. Academics' responses to questions eliciting teaching conceptions are examined and categorized via qualitative thematic analysis. The resulting framework identifies statements of belief and knowledge that are embedded in conceptual responses.
