Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has framed teacher education for decades, despite the difficulty of demonstrating that teacher preparation effectively develops PCK. Social studies educators have been especially wary of PCK, but their critiques have primarily challenged what knowledge is valued rather than its model of how teachers learn. This…

Mathematics education researchers have highlighted that preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSTs) need opportunities to learn how their content knowledge is contextualized during instruction. Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) subdomains provide a way to understand mathematics discipline-specific knowledge that is unique to the…

This study investigates the technological knowledge (TK) of university lecturers in Jordan concerning the integration of information and communications technology (ICT) tools in teaching English pronunciation. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to evaluate lecturers'…

Most studies on pupils' appraisal of teaching quality focus on appraisal by experienced or in-service teachers. The study reported here investigated the teaching effectiveness of teacher trainees from the school pupils' point of view. Drawing on research carried out in Tanzania, this study argues that pupil ratings offer some important points that…

This study explored the status of primary and middle school physical education (PE) teachers' professional knowledge competence (PKC) in the Amhara Region, in Ethiopia. For this, a quantitative research approach was employed and data were collected from 382 randomly selected PE teachers and analysed quantitatively. Findings revealed that the…

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) begins to develop during teacher education and the teaching practicum reinforces its development. This study is an interpretive inquiry into pre-service mathematics teachers' practicum classrooms. The study explored four pre-service mathematics teachers' PCK through observations and interviews. The pre-service…

Background: Teacher educators have begun exploring the most effective ways to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) to engage elementary students in engineering design. However, this remains challenging as PSTs continue to report a lack of exposure to engineering during their K-12 school experiences. This study investigates the engineering-related…

While computer science is widely recognized as crucial for all U.S. high school students, challenges persist for teachers' pedagogical, content, and culturally responsive-sustaining education. In this paper, we explore how a co-teaching model with an experienced CS instructor shaped three novice CS teachers' knowledge while implementing Advanced…

The technological training of Early Childhood Education students is essential for the development of their Digital Teaching Competences (DTC), and are crucial for their future work as teachers. The aim of the present study is to assess the level of digital competence of students and to analyze the differences between two universities that provide…

Although research interest in second language (L2) teachers has grown, novice L2 teachers remain understudied, especially writing teachers. Existing research on L2 writing teachers has largely centred on cognitive development, often overlooking crucial personal and socio-contextual aspects. Utilising a narrative case study approach, this study…

This study explored the sentiments of practice teaching students at a Philippine state university during the pandemic. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study investigated the sentiments of 81 practice teachers as they adapted to emergency remote teaching and fulfilled their practice teaching responsibilities. Participants provided…

As a source of social capital, teachers' professional networks have been linked in the research literature with professional learning. Social media platforms have increased teachers' professional networking opportunities, suggesting more space for informal learning. Capturing the experiences of 41 school teachers in Kazakhstan using thematic…

In the evolving landscape of primary mathematics education, this study investigates the impact of gender, age, teaching experience, educational background, and mathematics-specific education on the factors of integrating digital technology during the post-pandemic era in primary schools. Data from 554 primary mathematics teachers in China, were…

The study aimed to examine how teachers in technical schools in automotive classrooms integrate technology, employing a case study research approach. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model coined by Mishra and Koehler (2006) was used to underpin the study as a framework. It emerges as a useful construct for researchers…

Research on second language (L2) writing tends to focus much more on student learning of writing than teachers' teaching and learning of the teaching of writing. While a few studies have considered the influence of formal education on teachers' L2 writing instruction, such as by examining the changes in teacher beliefs and practices across one…
