Kathy O’ Sullivan – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
In Ireland, Initial Teacher Education [ITE] standards require all teachers to possess an adequate level of numeracy themselves in order to teach for numeracy learning across the school curriculum. This paper reports on a study that investigated 204 pre-service post-primary teachers' numeracy capabilities. Analysis of questionnaire data from…

Kertil, Mahmut; Erbas, Ayhan Kursat; Cetinkaya, Bulent – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study examined a cohort of middle school pre-service mathematics teachers' understanding of the rate of change as they engaged in a model development sequence. By adopting a design-based research perspective, a model development sequence on the concept of rate of change has been designed and implemented as part of a mathematical modeling…

Milner-Bolotin, Marina; Zazkis, Rina – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This study examines future secondary physics teachers' knowledge related to the teaching of sound waves, and specifically the topics of sound level and sound intensity. The data is comprised of future teachers' responses to a task in which they had to compose a script for an imaginary dialogue between a teacher and a group of students and to…

Corinna Mönch; Silvija Markic – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Chemish - the scientific language of chemistry - is crucial for learning chemistry. To help students acquire the competencies to understand and use Chemish, chemistry teachers need to have a sound knowledge of teaching and learning Chemish: Pedagogical Scientific Language Knowledge (PSLK). But still, despite the importance of this knowledge, the…

Brown, Rachael Eriksen; Epstein, Martha L.; Orrill, Chandra Hawley – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2020
Teacher knowledge, especially of proportional reasoning, is important, particularly in middle school grades in the United States. In this instrumental case study, one teacher's understanding of constant as it relates to proportions and how that understanding shifted over the course of a six hour professional development experience is discussed.…

Greengold, Stacey – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Much research has been conducted regarding student alternative conceptions in chemistry, and a significant amount of work has focused on the areas of chemical equilibrium and reaction rates. Less research has focused on teachers' alternative conceptions in these areas, and most of this work has studied the conceptions of pre-service and novice…

Izci, Kemal; Siegel, Marcelle A. – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2019
Assessing student learning to adapt instruction to support learning is an important skill all teachers need to develop. However, it is not an easy task for teachers and even more difficult for new teachers. The current study aims to explore an alternatively certified new chemistry teacher?s understanding and practices of classroom assessment to…

Lovett, Jennifer N.; Lee, Hollylynne S. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2018
Amid the implementation of new curriculum standard regarding statistics and new recommendations for preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) to teach statistics, there is a need to examine the current state of PSMTs' knowledge of the statistical content they will be expected to teach. This study reports on the statistical knowledge of 217…

Nagle, Courtney; Moore-Russo, Deborah; Styers, Jodie L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
This paper describes seven in-service teachers' interpretations of student statements about slope. The teachers interpreted sample student work, conjectured about student contributions, assessed the students' understanding, and positioned the students' statements in the mathematics curriculum. The teachers' responses provide insight into their…

Wong, Darren; Lee, Paul; Foong, See Kit – Physics Education, 2017
In this paper, we examined teachers' understanding of electrical concepts such as power, current and potential difference based on how these concepts were applied to understand the relative brightness seen in bulbs of different wattage under different connections--series or parallel. From the responses of teachers to a concept question, we…

Haines, Brenna – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
The purpose of this article is to sketch a conceptualization of a framework for Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics Teaching Knowledge. Recent research continues to problematize the lack of knowledge and preparation among secondary level statistics teachers. The College Board's AP Statistics course continues to grow and gain popularity, but is a…

Bargagliotti, Anna E.; Anderson, Celia Rousseau – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2017
As a result of the increased focus on data literacy and data science across the world, there has been a large demand for professional development in statistics. However, exactly how these professional development opportunities should be structured remains an open question. The purpose of this paper is to describe the first iteration of a design…

Chazbeck, Bassel; Ayoubi, Zalpha – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2018
The purpose of this research was to study the system of resources, the objectives of their use and the factors that affect the selection and integration of the different resources by Lebanese secondary physics teachers in their teaching in general and for teaching Electricity in particular. For this aim, a qualitative approach was used and the…

Bergqvist, Anna; Chang Rundgren, Shu-Nu – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2017
Background: Textbooks are integral tools for teachers' lessons. Several researchers observed that school teachers rely heavily on textbooks as informational sources when planning lessons. Moreover, textbooks are an important resource for developing students' knowledge as they contain various representations that influence students' learning.…

Cain, Tim – Curriculum Journal, 2015
Despite the increased interest in research impact, there is very little empirical evidence that educational research can inform practice directly, and furthermore, a body of literature which suggests that this is, in principle, impossible. This paper reports on a study in which secondary school teachers were given research findings about teaching…
