Burke, Paul F.; Palmer, Tracey-Ann; Pressick-Kilborn, Kimberley – Research in Science Education, 2022
This study examined the preferences for professional development (PD) in primary (elementary) science among pre-service teachers (PSTs) and in-service teachers (ISTs). The contribution of the study is its focus on quantifying the relative importance of factors that were significant for teachers by using best-worst scaling methodology. Rather than…

Fang, Houbin; Wang, Lili; Zhou, Qi – Journal of Research in Innovative Teaching & Learning, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of one online PD in PBL. Researchers want to investigate if a five-day international online PBL training will prepare teachers to implement PBL in their classrooms. Secondly, the researchers aim to determine if the training provides teachers with sufficient knowledge and support…

Lydia Ross; Stephen Krause; Eugene Judson; Keith D. Hjelmstad; Robert Culbertson; James A. Middleton; Lindy Mayled; Sara Hoyt; Kara L. Hjelmstad – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Active learning pedagogical practices are more effective than instructor-centered teaching in building students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of engineering content and concepts. As such, a large-scale professional development (PD) program was created to move faculty toward the use of active learning. The project aimed to engage faculty in…

Bud McKendree; Shannon G. Washburn – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2021
Metacognition has been shown to be important in the learning process of students. However, teacher awareness and understanding of metacognition seems to be limited. In this study, we use an interpretivist approach to explore how secondary teachers facilitated learning and perceived metacognition after participating in professional development on…

Geraldine Townend; Jennifer L. Jolly; Adrian Chew – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2024
This systematic literature review explored the importance of professional development (PD) for educators working with gifted students. Findings highlighted the need for PD to improve teacher knowledge, skills, efficacy, and student outcomes, especially considering the heterogeneously grouped classrooms, unique student needs, and lack of…

Morgan, Lindee; Close, Sharron; Siller, Michael; Kushner, Elizabeth; Brasher, Susan – Educational Research, 2022
Background: Active classroom engagement is at the heart of children's learning. The definition of active classroom engagement has broadened over time to incorporate aspects of social emotional learning (SEL). SEL -- a developmental process that supports student acquisition of skills to build healthy peer relationships and regulate emotions…

Beaudry, Sharon – Journal of Learning Spaces, 2022
Active learning has been a growing trend in education for decades based on its impact on student learning and success. As such, schools, colleges, and universities have invested resources into expanding this teaching approach, including active learning classrooms. But why have some schools been successful at rapidly growing their active learning…

S. C. Lee; G. Nugent; G. M. Kunz; J. Houston – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2024
Research has highlighted the significant decline in teachers' implementation of newly acquired teaching practices following professional development (PD), primarily attributed to the absence of follow-up support. Even science teachers who have participated in intensive PD programs often encounter challenges in integrating new teaching practices…

Macaluso, Robin; Amaro-Jiménez, Carla; Patterson, Oliver K.; Martinez-Cosio, Maria; Veerabathina, Nilashki; Clark, Kametrice; Luken-Sutton, Jennifer – College Teaching, 2021
Here we share results from a larger study of professional development (PD) provided to faculty at Research I Urban University (RIUU), where STEM faculty modeled active learning strategies and provided ready-to-use STEM materials to teaching staff. Data from 94 STEM faculty, who comprised 27% of the total participants (N = 340), demonstrated a…

Qureshi, Azhar M.; Demir, Kadir – Science Education International, 2019
Pakistan, like many other countries of the world, has continually been criticized for its unproductive professional development (PD) policies and practices for teachers due to low student achievement in science disciplines. A good portion of science teachers (62%) in Pakistan was found to be uncomfortable in teaching the scientific concepts…

Chasteen, Stephanie V.; Chattergoon, Rajendra – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Effective faculty professional development must be participant centered; tailored to the needs and interests of the faculty who engage in it. In order to better understand those needs and interests, we investigate how knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and teaching practice vary among new physics faculty, using surveys of a large sample (n = 442) of…

Cornehl, Krista – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Many students are passively engaged in mathematics content across the United States because they are in classrooms that use traditional instruction methods (i.e. lecture and guided practice). Calculus is a struggle for students because of the critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and problem solving required. Active learning has been shown…

Blevins, Kathryn – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The purpose of this basic qualitative research study was to identify the extent to which kindergarten teachers understand and implement inquiry-based instruction in their science classrooms. This study was conducted in response to the indication that traditional didactic teaching methods were not enough to adequately prepare American students to…
