Abstract 1: “REDESIGNING THE LAYERS OFTEACHERS´ MICROCHIP”Every class, teachers have to decide what contents,materials, approach, procedures, activities and typeof evaluation they are going to use. They have tomake decisions before classes, during classes and

after classes. In this process, some teachers adaptand use new ideas in order to help their studentslearn; however, some others don´t. The reasons whyteachers take one or the other direction are found inthe layers of their microchip (schemata). Specificallyone of these layers has a strong influence in theirpedagogical ideas and performance. Identifyinghow this layer works and how it could be modifiedcan lead to a dramatic change both in the way wecoach our colleagues and in the way we manageour own teaching.
