Teacher emotions could make a difference to the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), a complicated knowledge essential for effective teaching with technology. Both experienced and novice teachers reported having experienced a series of emotional challenges as they acquire technology integration skills. Self-regulated…

Supplemental teaching materials from online sources such as Teachers Pay Teachers proliferate the educational landscape. Understanding how teachers use these tools is key to improving teacher education. This paper reports on an exploratory qualitative study that captured the perspectives of six early career elementary teachers on the supplemental…

It is essential for items in assessments of mathematics' teacher knowledge to evoke the desired response processes -- to be interpreted and responded to by teachers as intended by item developers. In this study, we sought to unpack evidence that middle school mathematics teachers were not consistently interacting as intended with constructed…

The last two decades have seen the growing adoption of mobile devices to enhance the quality of teachers' continuous professional development (TCPD) in low-income countries. Using mobile devices, typically not designed for educational use, presents new usability challenges, preventing teachers from effectively accessing learning materials in…

Many recent studies document the difficulties that students experience when learning organic chemistry, often due to the complex visualization and reasoning skills required to successfully understand the ways molecules interact in specific environments. Many of these studies call on instructors to improve their teaching strategies to support…

Teachers' professional vision is the ability to notice and interpret classroom interactions and may be considered an aspect of a teacher's competence. Despite research on school teachers, little is known about this competence in early childhood teachers. In this study, the relation between early childhood teachers' professional vision and their…

Measures of teacher mathematical knowledge are notoriously difficult to develop (e.g., Orrill et al., 2015). This is in part because of the multidimensional nature of teacher knowledge. As part of two separate projects being undertaken by this research team, we have attempted to write assessments of teacher pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) in…

In this paper, we extend our previous work on challenges teachers face when engaging with proportional reasoning contexts to investigate two contexts that included four problems for middle grades teachers to solve as well as eight student solutions. Analysis included coding for correct solving of the problem as well as making sense of and…

Recent research on learning analytics dashboards has focused on designing user interfaces that offer various forms of "visualization guidance" (often referring to notions such as "data storytelling" or "narrative visualization") to teachers (e.g., emphasizing data points or trends with colour and adding annotations),…

This paper explores the reasoning processes expert teachers use when reading and responding to elementary students' writing. We report findings from a qualitative multi-case study drawing on "think-aloud" interview data from seventeen participants as they read and responded to narrative, informational, and opinion/argumentative drafts.…

The purpose of this literature review is to define verbal protocols and explore how two methodological tools -- think-alouds and stimulated recall -- may apply to research in music education practices. Pinpointing the inner workings of these processes may extend the ongoing work within music education and further support how novice music teachers…

The Philippines has undergone a fundamental overhaul of its educational system to highlight basic education and overcome its deficiencies. The educational reform prompts prospective teachers to connect the concepts taught to instill a more profound understanding. As such, the researchers explored the mathematical connections made by prospective…

Many educational technology proponents support the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model as a way to conceptualize teaching with technology, but recent TPACK research shows a need for empirical studies regarding the development of this knowledge. This proof-of-concept study applies mixed-methods to investigate the…

This article presents insights from a study into instructor professional learning in vocational and professional education (VPE) in Canada. While most studies on instructor learning focus on learning through formal professional development programmes, this study specifically focuses on professional learning as it happens in day-to-day practice.…
