Background: Teachers must have the skills to find, select, design and use technology-based mathematical activities that focus on high-level cognitive demands--supporting student reasoning. However, they experience various difficulties in creating, planning and making decisions about how and when to utilize technological affordances. Objectives:…

We investigated the effect of short-term teaching (3 weeks) using image analysis on gymnasium/secondary school students' (ISCED3A) skills (science process skills, SPS) and knowledge using Fiji (ImageJ) software. The theoretical teaching was combined with IT-based education (measurement of the area or signal intensity on photos from scientific…

Learning science is a social enterprise that involves students communicating ideas, observations, and findings. Navigating talk between students about scientific concepts and practices is a complex task for teachers. Traditionally, science educators have used a method called microteaching (teaching to peers) as a context for practicing teaching.…

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is defined as the teacher knowledge needed for effective technology integration. This study aimed to investigate preservice elementary mathematics teachers' TPACK development. TPACK survey was administered to 33 preservice teachers (PSTs), and six of them were selected via maximum variation…

The paper introduced the application significance of micro-lesson and flipped classroom teaching model. It discussed the application value and analyzed the problems of the flipped classroom teaching model. Implications of practices of the teaching model are also discussed.

This article discusses the process and findings of a study in which video annotation (VideoANT) and a learning management system (LMS) were implemented together in the microteaching lessons of fourth-year geography student teachers. The aim was to ensure adequate assessment of and feedback for each student, since these aspects are, in general, a…

Microteaching techniques have been used for teacher training since the mid 1960s. Despite its usefulness, as affirmed by pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), there are numerous criticisms on the shortcomings of microteaching activities. Specifically, it (a) oversimplifies the classroom learning and…
