In this paper, we want to discuss the structure of teachers’ belief systems. Firstly, we discuss teachers’ belief systems from a theoretical perspective including characteristics of beliefs systems like its cluster structure, the central- ity of beliefs or the hierarchy of beliefs. Afterwards, we analyse the beliefs of one primary teacher emphasis- ing particularly the structural aspects of this teacher’s system of beliefs concerning the teaching and learning of arithmetic. Finally, we discuss potential benefits of investigating a belief system in detail. We conclude the paper with a brief summary and suggestions for further research. Keywords:
