Inquiry-based teaching is the most widespread approach in science education worldwide. However, in Peru, this model became better known since the latest curriculum reform in 2016, which proposed implementing that teaching approach at all levels of schooling. Since then, no literature review has been conducted on the status quo of implementing…

Industrial Design education is poorly understood by laypeople but is present in Australian curricula from primary through to tertiary education levels. Designers and design researchers have long recognised the value of the broad-ranging skills, knowledge fields, and personal qualities design education imparts, but this understanding is generally…

Purpose: There is a growing interest in showcasing what building school capacity looks like empirically. Although there has been considerable focus on school reforms globally, the actual impact of such attempts on building school capacity, particularly in a non-Western context, remains less explored. This paper aims to illustrate the process of…

The body language of an educator during a class can affect student's level of interest and concentration. As an attempt to assist educators to improve their body language and speaking characteristics, a pilot body language analysis system that assesses the body language of educators was developed.

Systemic equity challenges in K-12 STEM education place students from minoritized groups on an uneven footing, restricting access and opportunity for the diverse students who make up the majority population in US public schools.

With increased linguistic diversity in schools, it is paramount that initial teacher education and training (ITET) develops linguistically responsive teachers who can confidently work in the complex language ecologies characterising today's multilingual classrooms. We argue that to achieve this aim, all future teachers should be given…

Purpose: The school subject of physical education (PE) has experienced a "health turn" globally. However, some university undergraduate programs may need to be revised to adequately equip pre-service teachers to teach about health in schools. The aim of this study was to explore the content of an undergraduate university program in PE…

Aim/Purpose: Flipped learning, in which students engage with instructional content before class and participate in active learning during class time, has emerged as an innovative teaching approach. While previous research has explored various aspects of flipped learning, its impact on student self-efficacy across different contexts remains…

In this reflective case, we examine the role and function of collaboration in use-oriented evaluation approaches. Reflecting on our experience evaluating a program that sought to integrate new technologies into K-12 teaching and pre-service teacher education, we found that the desire and pursuit of making evaluation useful can influence why, with…

Field notes along with journal and interview data from nine PSTs were analyzed using the constant comparison method. PSTs were able to look at the goal…
