While there are laudable studies on the challenges of flipped learning and hybrid models adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, limited studies exist on the advancements achieved through digitally enhanced learning. Eliciting information from preservice teachers on their experiences while switching to different learning environments during the…

Research shows that videoconferencing tools can be used for delivering high-quality instruction in real-time to a large number of students simultaneously during and even in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, there is a lack of data on how favourable it is among students, particularly in the Philippine setting, in the field of Physical…

This mixed methods study investigates the role of AI chatbots in assisting preservice teachers with creating differentiated lesson plans that emphasise student diversity and inclusion within an online learning environment. By conducting a comparative analysis of preservice teachers utilising AI chatbots versus those who did not, the research…

Many novice teachers learn to teach "on the job," leading to burnout and attrition among teachers and negative outcomes for students in the long term. Preservice teacher education is tasked with optimizing teacher readiness, but there is a lack of causal evidence regarding effective ways to prepare new teachers. In this paper, we use a…

Information and communication technologies (ICT) can help increase teachers' abilities and, as a result, the learning of new cohorts of students who, in the age of mass higher education, enter university classrooms less prepared. Although ICT-based teacher training initiatives are well known, there is little proof that the results are useful for…

New teachers often work in culturally diverse schools after practicum at culturally homogenous schools. Simulated field experiences could ensure that they are better prepared. This study measured gains in culturally responsive pedagogy among teacher candidates after a semester of simulated field experiences. Teacher candidates completed a pre- and…

The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of the flipped learning model used in the laboratory practices course of pre-service teachers on their conceptual understanding and to evaluate their opinions about this model. In order to achieve this aim, science teaching laboratory applications course was conducted with the flipped learning model…

This exploratory study examines Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) efforts of two teacher educators at Turkish and American universities who co-designed teacher education courses intending to develop intercultural and global competencies among students. Drawing from theoretical perspectives of Global Citizenship Education (GCE)…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the affordances and constraints of a technological tool to foster pre-service teachers' (PSTs) noticing skills including attending to, interpreting, and responding to students' mathematical work. Participants were 99 junior or senior PSTs in a mathematics pedagogy course at a large university. Using…

In this paper, we consider the challenges for Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) that were presented during the COVID-19 pandemic in regard to preservice teachers' knowledge in and about movement and their developing movement capability. Historically, learning about movement as well as learning in movement has always been central for…

The present study illustrates digital storytelling (DS) as an open-ended learning environment, which is one of the ways of preparing pre-service teachers (PST) to practice computational thinking (CT) in their future teaching. An 8-week teacher training program was organized and presented. The study aims to investigate the program's impact on the…

Background: To purposefully integrate information and communication technologies (ICT) into contemporary teaching, teachers must have complex technological, pedagogical and content-related knowledge (TPACK). TPACK could be fostered through diverse learning environments such as working in a makerspace as part of university teacher training. The…

Many novice teachers learn to teach "on-the-job," leading to burnout and attrition among teachers and negative outcomes for students in the long term. Pre-service teacher education is tasked with optimizing teacher readiness, but there is a lack of causal evidence regarding effective ways for preparing new teachers. In this paper, we use…

Over the last several decades, digital technology (DT) integration in teaching and learning mathematics has received considerable attention, as such integration has not led to the expected results. Teacher education is a critical factor -- even more important than access to tools and devices -- in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The…
