Block, Lee Anne; Betts, Paul – Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2016
Teacher candidates' individual and collaborative inquiry occurs within multiple and layered contexts of learning. The layered contexts support a strong connection between the practicum and the university and the emergent teaching identities. Our understanding of teacher identity is as situated and socially constructed, yet fluid and agentic. This…

McCarron, Elizabeth C. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Faculty are responsible for providing the academic accommodations needed and used by students with learning disabilities (SWLD). Since learning disabilities (LD) are hidden, faculty may question the need for, efficacy of, and fairness of accommodations. Yet academically accommodating SWLD is important to academic success and persistence. This…

Kilic, Hulya; Tunc Pekkan, Zelha – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2017
In this paper, we discuss pre-service mathematics teachers' professional gains from a university-school collaboration where they were given opportunity to observe two teacher educators' instructional practices in a 6th grade classroom, interact with students in one-to-one fashion and reflect on the teacher educators' and their own practices. Three…

Ramanayake, Selena; Williams, Cheri – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2017
Despite the increase of English learners in the U.S. and of standards for linguistically responsive teaching practices, teacher education programs often fall short of preparing preservice teachers to teach diverse learners. In this case study, specifically designed to improve a pedagogical course on English language development, the researchers…

Lane, Rod; Catling, Simon – Journal of Geography, 2016
Climatic hazards are a key feature of life. It is vital that teachers are knowledgeable about these phenomena in order to develop their students' understanding of them. This study used a mixed methods approach to examine the accuracy and depth of preservice primary teachers' (n = 430) knowledge of tropical cyclones. The findings suggest that…

Jansen, Amanda; Hohensee, Charles – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine and elaborate upon elementary prospective teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of partitive division with fractions. We examined the degree to which PSTs' conceptions were connected (i.e., capable of translating between representations correctly; aware that partitive division generates a unit rate for its quotient)…

Bannister, Vanessa R. Pitts – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2014
The concept of multiple representations of functions and the ability to make translations among representations are important topics in secondary school mathematics curricula (Moschkovich, Schoenfeld, & Arcavi, 1993; NCTM, 2000). Research related to students in this domain is fruitful, while research related to teachers is underdeveloped. This…
