To equip students with 21st-century skills, teachers must have both deep STEM content knowledge and the confidence to implement and teach appropriate STEM content. Many elementary teachers have inadequate STEM background knowledge, low confidence, and STEM self-efficacy for implementing STEM in the classroom; as a result, teachers' classroom…

In the mathematical literature on analytical geometry, various notions of the conics' eccentricity correspond to different approaches to these curves. After making a comparative analysis of well-known textbooks to determine coincidences and differences between the various concepts of eccentricity, as well as how the authors explain the…

There are several specific digital tools now that have transformed the way science is taught. Correspondingly, teacher education programs have changed, and now they increasingly address the development of technology-related professional content knowledge (TPACK). Owing to the use of technology in specific domains of science teaching, there is an…

Research about the optimal methodologies for guiding the training of primary school instructors in the instruction of early algebra remains in the process of determination. This manuscript delineates the methodology involved in developing and validating an assessment tool to evaluate the mathematical acumen of prospective primary educators in the…

This paper presents a study focusing on the feasibility and validity of the SELFIEforTEACHERS self-assessment tool for student teachers, addressing three research questions. Using a mixed methods approach with a convergent parallel design. The study provides insights into quantitative and qualitative aspects of the self-assessment of student…
