Educational researchers have begun exploring teachers' beliefs and construction of knowledge through their use of metaphors. In this study undergraduate and graduate education students were asked to respond to open-ended statements and a list of similes describing what teachers, students, and classrooms were like. A comparison of the subject generated similes with the simile list responses suggested that the simile list responses were valid reflections of the subjects' personal metaphors. A factor analysis of the responses to the similes generated interpretable constructs for understanding the relationships underlying the similes.
