This paper proposes a conceptual framework enabling the development and adoption of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and recommendatory data analytics in teacher professional learning by harnessing some of the affordances of digital technologies to convert data into actionable insights. The paper argues for a technology-enhanced approach that…

Writing groups have been touted as a method for bolstering faculty productivity. Most research has focused on temporary groups and events rather than long-standing, cohesive groups. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors leading to the success of a writing group called Pawprint Scholars. Academic artifacts were collected, and…

Although computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly prevalent in K-12 education, many teachers find it challenging to integrate it with their classroom learning. In this systematic review, we have reviewed empirical evidence on teachers' computational-thinking-focused professional development (PD). The findings depict the landscape of…

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to identify teachers' tendencies towards professional development models. In line with the purpose of scale development, a survey model was preferred. The scale was designed to be applicable to teachers from various disciplines currently working in any institution…

Capacity-building has been promoted by the central level in Chile, through a reform that resembles school districts, where the intermediate level is intended to provide pedagogical support for schools. However, this has proven to be challenging due to different visions about what capacity-building looks like and how it relates to school…

Academics in Higher Education are often expected both to teach and to research; this is a particular challenge for women both structurally and individually. Initiatives to address structural issues include AdvanceHE. Here, we focus on individual issues and report on the Programme for Women Achieving Excellence in Research, a theory-based…

SAE for All was adopted by the National Council for Ag Education in 2015 and North Carolina launched the model through statewide professional development in 2019. As part of a larger study on implementation, this 2022 qualitative study sought to understand the barriers teachers were facing in implementing the SAE for All model and sought to…

This study proposes a model of several dimensions through which products of teachers' context-based mathematics problem posing (PP) can be modified. The dimensions are Correctness, Authenticity, Task Assortment (consisting of Mathematical Diversity, Multiple Data Representations, Question-Answer Format, Precision-Approximation, and…

Purpose: This study primarily aims at assessing Faculty Competences Development Components (FCDCs) that help in the development of educational leaders. The study further formulates a model using seven latent constructs that explain the development of the mechanism of development of educational leaders and extend the benefits of their development…

In this research, it is aimed at examining the opinions of the Social Studies teacher candidates about the Lesson Study Model carried out in the Teaching Practice course. The research was designed as a case study. The participant group of the research consists of three pre-service teachers selected by the criterion sampling method: the social…

This paper examines the relationship between educators' epistemic character and their professional responsibilities, arguing that the role of educator carries unique epistemic obligations. Drawing on virtue epistemology and the ethics of belief, Jeff Standley contends that these obligations stem from education's core epistemic aims: cultivating…

In this article I describe and reflect on my evolving understandings of the study of mentoring since the publication of the 2005 article in the Journal of Teacher Education. My reflective journey suggests stressing two assertions to the study of mentoring. One, that there is a need to develop a more multidimensional and integrated conception of…

A school is much more than a collection of individual classrooms. Fostering a collaborative and learning-oriented culture can improve teachers' and students' success. In model classrooms, teachers who have participated in professional learning open their classroom doors and agree to have others observe as they work to integrate the targeted new…

The flipped classroom is an emergent digital pedagogy credited with virtuous and student-centric characteristics of increased learning. The purpose of this study was to discuss the implementation of the Flipped Classroom Blended Learning Model among lecturers in African Universities. The study employed a qualitative literature review, after…

Professional development for the further education sector (FE) in England, whether commissioned by the Education and Training Foundation (ETF), or the Department for Education (DfE), is typically formal learning. There are usually measurable outcomes, and practitioners are asked to identify changes to their practice. The focus on outcomes means…
