Our study focuses on the effective implementation of "constellations," an institutional scheme for the in-service training of primary school teachers of mathematics and French, established in France since 2020. Based on a bottom-up training model, this scheme aims to encourage reflexive analysis of practices among peers, based on…

The present study focused on the differential effects of two German PD programs in the ECEC field. We examined whether PD programs are equally effective for all ECEC professionals or whether ECEC professionals benefit differently from these learning opportunities. An experimental pre-post-follow-up study was conducted in the field with random…

This study reports on the effectiveness and challenges of a formative assessment professional development program designed to address the challenges Kosovo teachers face in adequately using formative assessment in their classrooms. Selected teachers ("n" = 19) from Kosovo municipalities participated in the professional development…

Due to the increasing presence of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education paradigm in Spain, many teachers have embarked on the design of specific Teaching--Learning Sequences (TLS) to be implemented in schools. Understanding the views and perceptions about STEM that take shape in specific teachers' designs should…

Dialogic teaching has been demonstrated to be conducive to the development of important competencies and skills such as creativity, communication skills and critical thinking skills. Yet, the literature confirms that teacher--student interactions in the classroom are predominantly monologic rather than dialogic across subjects, grades and…

Background: Teachers in developing countries face a complex challenge at work--teaching students who are first-generation learners, in classrooms with wide heterogeneity in learning levels, and in frequently resource-poor settings (Muralidharan et al., 2019; World Development Report, 2018). The presence of many of these potentially binding…

This article contributes to the study of radio pedagogy in Africa by exploring the Cameroonian case. It shows how Cameroon, after it gained independence in 1960 but faced a shortage of primary school teachers, set up a continuous training scheme based on distance learning via radio broadcasts. Drawing on archival sources of Yaoundé, documentaries…

This study was conducted to determine the opinions of elementary teachers about the child abuse and neglect education program developed according to the quantum learning model. This study was carried out with the participation of 20 elementary teachers working in the Yozgat province of Turkey. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were…

Increasing need for mathematics teachers in secondary schools has led to the implementation of professional development courses (PDC) offering formal certifications for in-service teachers in some German states. While these PDCs are well attended, little is known about the motives "why" teachers participate. In this article, we present…

The article focuses on Teacher Time Outs (TTOs) in rehearsals and co-enactments as part of a practice-based approach to professional development, aiming to support teachers' learning of ambitious mathematics teaching. Ambitious teaching requires teachers to be responsive to students' ideas in-the-moment of instruction. This is complex and places…

As a teacher educator of literature methodology in Mauritius, this arts-based self-study is rooted in the need to improve my professional practice. It emanated from a critical incident during the COVID pandemic when I used blackout poetry during an online synchronous session with in-service teachers for a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.

Teacher collaboration is considered an important determinant when implementing differentiated instructional practices. However, most research has extensively explored such constructs using global measures, while overlooking the fact that teacher collaboration is a multidimensional construct. Against this background, this study aimed to explore the…

Teachers play a key role in promoting flexible mathematical thinking in society. There is a growing need to develop better methods for both pre- and in-service teacher training, but not enough is so far understood about what knowledge and skills teachers use in practical teaching situations. The means for investigating this are few. A new analytic…

The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka strongly recommends a model based on inquiry or investigations carried out actively by students. This study was conducted to analyze the tendencies of permanent teacher students in developing inquiry-based learning and its correlation with students' critical thinking skills. This survey research uses…

This study aims to examine the impact of integrating the role of philosophy of mathematics education in mathematics teacher education on student learning outcomes and attitudes towards mathematics. Purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 10 in-service mathematics teachers from a Technical School in Kumasi. A qualitative case study…
