Selecting and sequencing instructional tasks to facilitate student learning (i.e. content development) is an important skill for physical education teachers. Research has shown that teachers often have little content development following an informing task. In addition, depth of specialized content knowledge (SCK) as expressed by the SCK-index is…

This scoping review examines the literature on teaching Indigenous knowledge and perspectives in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes. The study explores how these programmes integrate Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into their curriculum and pedagogy to prepare teachers to work with Indigenous students and communities. The review…

In this article we introduce a type of teaching scholarship called Lesson Analysis (LA) that helps build instructional knowledge, and an associated genre of writing called Lesson Analysis Manuscript (LAM) that shares this instructional knowledge. We briefly describe the problem LA is intended to solve, as well as key features of a LAM. In LA,…

This study compared attitudes towards inclusive education and organizational commitment, as well as their relationship, amongst three types of teachers working in Chinese inclusive education schools. A total of 623 teachers, including general education teachers (n = 168), inclusive education teachers (n = 246), and resource room teachers…

This paper aims to explore how faculty in business and related fields perceive adaptivity and their own adaptive expertise in a university based in Central Europe. We focused on the qualitatively different ways in which faculty members' adaptive expertise can be conceptualised. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 participants, the…

Today's educational changes necessitate that teachers have a broad range of knowledge, values, skills, and competencies to provide effective instruction. Despite this, research on mathematics teachers' readiness for such changes is limited, particularly in terms of leveraging experienced teachers' implicit knowledge for peer learning. This…

The literature on entrepreneurship education in Indonesian vocational high schools is sparse and inadequately evaluated. Future research should aim to enhance students' entrepreneurial competencies and intentions by integrating practical environments and experiential learning into the curriculum. However, transitioning to these methods presents…

Research on how to best meet the academic needs and potential of gifted students with disabilities, known as twice-exceptional or 2e, has grown over the past 30 years. While recognition of 2e learners is slowly extending to educational policy, there are few school program options designed to accommodate 2e students and even fewer studies on the…

The demand to incorporate informatics into primary education is seen as a critical necessity both today, and for the future of modern societies. Numerous countries are currently revising their primary education curricula in order to incorporate informatics concepts and computational thinking skills. Although many successful initiatives have been…

Within the phenomenographic research tradition, the "object of learning" depicts the capability that is to be learned by the learner. It has been argued that the object of learning cannot be fully known in advance since what is to be learned depends on the learners as well as on the content taught. The object of learning and its nature…

This paper details a conceptual framework that situates curriculum design for information literacy and lifelong learning, through a cohesive developmental information literacy based model for learning, at the core of teacher education courses at UTAS. The implementation of the framework facilitates curriculum design that systematically,…

A primary goal of all teacher educators is to provide preservice teachers with meaningful professional development opportunities that will help them succeed in making the transition into their own classrooms.

Efficient lesson planning with universal design for learning (UDL) enables teachers to more effectively meet students' individual needs. In this study, a comparison of lesson plans by teacher candidates in a teacher preparation program before and after UDL training is presented. After training, teachers (n = 45) incorporated more differentiated…

Researchers have advocated building a knowledge base for teacher education based on practitioner knowledge. In this article, the authors, two teacher educators, present knowledge gained from their systematic study of two lessons to help prospective teachers learn to study teaching. They offer a detailed look at the lessons' successes and…

A collaborative of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and education faculty developed a STEM certificate aimed at elementary education majors. A four-phase process model was used to create and evaluate courses. The certificate is comprised of three interdisciplinary, team-taught, lab-based courses: Environmental Biology,…
