Early childhood educators have a high risk of burnout, leading to a high turnover rate and, potentially, poor educational outcomes for young children. In this systematic review, we investigate the causes of burnout, and the effectiveness of interventions that seek to reduce burnout among educators. We searched "Web of Science" and…

Teacher shortages in schools are a global issue. One solution to this problem, offered in Australian policy, is the notion of the career change teacher (White et al., 2024). Our article outlines a mixed-methods research protocol designed to develop and refine initial design principles for initial teacher education (ITE) programs that specifically…

This article reviews the methodologies used in 76 empirical studies conducted on creative thinking in primary school education and published between 2011 and 2021.

Professional learning communities (PLCs) have been commonly implemented in educational context, specifically in English language education. While prior studies have continuously reported PLCs' contribution and impacts on teacher professional development (TPD), some also reported several challenges in implementing PLCs.

Our study presents a systematic…

This paper presents the findings of a systematic literature review that answers the research question: how does current literature define effective professional development? In answering this question, a set of design principles for effective professional development have been produced for utilisation by researchers and practitioners within and…

Teacher agency (TA) has been increasingly supported as an influential factor for teacher professional learning, school improvement and sustainable educational change. Previous studies, however, feature a variety of discrepancies in their conceptualisation and approaches to examining teacher agency. A systematic review is essential to map the…

Australian employers continue to indicate that the development of teamwork skills in graduates is as important as mastering technical skills required for a particular career. In Australia, the reporting on the teaching of teamwork skills has emanated across a range of disciplines including health and engineering, with less of a focus on business…
