Abstract	A functional paradigm was used as a means of interpreting why teachers and classrooms function as they do. An assessment of the nature and sources of the functional paradigms of high school biology teachers was the major consideration of this study. A population of 28 experienced high school biology teachers recognized for exemplary teaching and/or their professional involvement in science and biology education served as the study population. A modified clinical interview was used to identify the relevant conceptual framework and the major assertions of the functional paradigms held by these teachers. paradigms held by these teachers. The interview data and documentation in the field notes taken also revealed the strategies employed in the teaching of human genetics. Each teacher also completed three questionnaires. The results of this investigation were interpreted within the conceptual framework of four aspects of education, namely, teaching, learning, curriculum, and governance. (TW)
