This chapter explores the core of school pedagogy both theoretically and empirically. The main concepts in research into teaching are introduced with some discussion on their traditional background. The differences in the terminology used in German and Anglo-American literature is acknowledged and their influence on Finnish research on teaching is discussed. Educational purposefulness is identified as an important motivational factor behind the teaching-studying-learning process. Empirical data from Finnish teachers and student teachers are presented as examples of their views on the educational purposefulness of their teaching. In the secondary school context teachers need skills to teach their subject matter in ways that would open up its educational meaning. Finnish teachers’ views on the educational purposefulness of their teaching are divided into two categories: general purposes in teaching and subject matter specific purposes in teaching.
