The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in educators making a sudden shift to a largely online modality in teaching. For educators used to studio teaching, this change would require them to adapt their teaching approaches online and adopt new teaching approaches. Using the online videoconferencing tool (i.e., Zoom) for online interviews in real-time, a…

The aim of this paper is to show how an innovative technique can be used to introduce a method for uncovering intrinsic mechanisms that motivate changes in students' mental models. The theoretical framework used to develop the method is based on the ONEPSY (ONtology, EPistemology and PSYchology) model. The ONEPSY model is rooted in the theoretical…

Using video-elicitation focus group interviews, this study aims to reveal pre-service science teachers' perspectives and reasoning on artificial intelligence as a socioscientific issues-based scenario. Hence, it illustrates the ways the video data were used in the focus group elicitation interviews to understand their interpretations of how their…

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative communication style used to promote individuals' motivation, and there is growing support for using MI in schools. This study aims to test whether a teacher-focused intervention program based on MI and autonomy-supportive teaching increases teachers' autonomy-supportive teaching, teacher efficacy…

The critique, central to teaching and learning in fine arts studios, allows expert teachers to apprentice novice art students into their professional community, through feedback and guidance. This article examines ways teachers' discursive practices during desk critiques, in particular, socially construct opportunities for students to learn what…

This paper presents a practice-based enquiry exploring how photovoice methods can be adapted to visualise caring behaviours in multi-sited contexts, within an environment and peace education context. Photovoice methods typically have an exclusively single-sited focus that can neglect opportunities for empathy and cross-cultural engagement that…

Qualitative methods courses lack tools for teaching students how to capture and analyze the nuanced ways participant subjectivity shows up in interviews. This article responds to the call for greater depth in qualitative methods instruction by offering teachers a series of discussion questions and an in-class worksheet that will help students more…

This paper describes our work to determine the naturalistic images that first-time second-semester university calculus students possess for series convergence. We found that the students we interviewed most frequently determined whether a series converged by imagining a process of appending summands into a running total and examining whether this…

Student academic dishonesty is a pervasive problem for higher education institutions all over the world. The purpose of the present study is to take an interpretative, qualitative approach intended to understand student "thinking" and "reflections" when it comes to the perceived seriousness and prevalence of cheating. Peer…

Teachers' general pedagogical knowledge (GPK) has been emphasized as an important factor in pupils' learning, although a gap appears when describing this concept in the context of school practices. The aim of this study is to identify how teachers define and use GPK in their everyday teaching. Data were collected using video stimulated recall…

A teacher supervising the school practice of student teachers is regarded as an expert who sets an example of good teaching to future teachers and chooses teaching practices that support pupils' cognitive and social development. This study examines the implementation of teaching practices and the interpretation of these practices by school-based…

Fieldwork interviews can be utilised in intercultural communication classrooms to compare theories with real-world experiences, promoting discovery and facilitating deeper learning. However, the insights drawn from such interviews are often reduced to direct quotes from interviewees, with little reflection on why they express their views in…

Research evidence suggests coaching is a promising professional development approach in early care and education (ECE). The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted services for children and families, and this had implications for the practice of coaching; however, little is known about the specific changes to the strategies or delivery of coaching, or about…

The aim of this paper is on the one hand to discuss from an APOS (Action-Process-Object-Schema) theory perspective the mental constructions involved in the learning of linear algebra, through examples concerning the linear transformation concept and related notions. On the other hand, methodological issues related to the design of research…

The author empirically tested an in-class experiential team formation exercise that combines the benefits of professor- and student-directed methods. Previous studies have focused on analyzing the advantages or disadvantages of one method or the other but have not brought together the benefits of both. The present study was conducted over a…
