In this article, we analyse a lesson on Thales's theorem in a Chilean secondary school classroom through the combination of two theories: Mathematics Teachers' Specialised Knowledge (ThMTSK) and Mathematical Working Spaces (ThMWS). Both theories, first separately and then in relation to one another, are used to analyse two tasks proposed by the…

In this small-scale study we investigated ballet teachers' views and experiences of autonomy and autonomy support. For this purpose, we conducted semi-structured interviews with six ballet teachers in a prestigious pre-professional ballet school in Europe. Findings indicate that when and how autonomy was provided seemed to be impacted by whether a…

The complexity and long-term nature of graduate training call for mentors to adopt diversified guidance strategies to meet the diversified demands of graduates. Authoritarian-benevolent is regarded as a wise and effective ambidextrous attitude and method in traditional Chinese family education. However, the existing studies have ignored the…

Teachers' teaching styles play a crucial role in students' creativity. However, previous studies have focused only on variable-centered research methods that presuppose teachers to be of a particular type, which does not correspond to real-life contexts in which they teach. Therefore, this study will use a person-centered approach, latent profile…

In this article, we examine how thinking with affect theory offers fertility within higher education studies to see and do teaching and learning differently. For many educators in universities, the idea that teaching is a cognitive process of information transmission is still taken-for-granted. These beliefs are visible through the persistence of…

Choosing a Teaching Style is an important decision which affects the different elements of teaching, as well as the students, both men and women. Consequently, this study aims at determining the differences that exist in the emotional intelligence skills in learning dance depending on students' sex, analysing the preferences for the Command…

Planning lessons and in-the-moment improvising during enactment of the plan are two central activities inherent to the practice of teaching. To what extent are these pursuits conflicting or inconsistent? What are the characteristics of improvisation during teaching and what are teachers' possible stances on it? We discuss these questions based on…

Shifting to student-centered teaching-learning in the Philippines entails closer scrutiny of teacher beliefs. These beliefs shape the adoption and application of knowledge in classroom settings and educational reforms. Thus, this study aims to support the theoretical underpinnings of teacher belief. In particular, this study aims (1) to identify a…

Teachers as implementers of the curriculum have a vital role in delivering (Casey et al., 2009) reflecting teaching approaches in physical education classes. Cooperative learning is a teaching approach that meets the curricular requirements in Germany as well as considers the increasing heterogeneity of students. However, there is limited research…

Aims: This study investigates the teaching strategies that facilitate learning from errors. Materials and Methods: This 2-year…

In primary science education, inquiry-based science instruction stands out as an optimal learning environment for fostering domain-specific content and procedural knowledge. Recognizing the effectiveness of different forms of teacher guidance, there is an ongoing debate about the planning of high (structured inquiry) and low (guided inquiry)…

Effective instruction is vital for quality education in Kenya, with learners' success mainly dependent on structured methods like the five-stage lesson plan (5-SLP). Nonetheless, the effectiveness of instruction may differ depending on the demographic and professional attributes of the teachers. Although the value of planning for content delivery…

The debate about the ethics of belief is a classic and it has given rise to wide-ranging debates in epistemology, the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, as well as in ethics. In epistemology, the question is what the norms of belief are -- should one believe what is true, what is well-evidenced, what is pragmatic or what? -- and this…

Based on the authors' collaborative work with K-12 public school teachers, this practical book offers an invitation to create dynamic learning opportunities in classrooms designed to challenge and support all learners. Because teaching contexts are always unique and shifting, we cannot rely primarily upon scripts, recipes, "best…
