Mathematics Preservice Teachers' (M-PSTs) conceptions of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) enhance their reflective skills because they utilize such conceptions to reflect on how to contextualize content knowledge during secondary mathematics teaching. While previous studies suggested M-PSTs develop MKT, including pedagogical content…

Mathematics teacher educators have suggested preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') practices provide evidence of their mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). PMTs engage in approximations of practice to rehearse teaching. To explore connections between MKT and PMTs' practices, we operationalized six MKT subdomains in terms of approximations…

Research within communities that have historically been failed by formalised schooling often describes teachers who have found it difficult to engage with the social and cultural differences of their students. In this article, I present the case of Richard, a teacher whose work entailed a particular set of demands generated by a complex range of…

To address educators' sense of unpreparedness to support the growing number of culturally and linguistically diverse students enrolled in schools across the U.S., I examined the professional learning experiences of four educators who participated in a state-wide, online professional development opportunity. I employed a longitudinal case study…

This article discusses how two beginning mathematics teachers mobilize and develop their didactics knowledge, specifically concerning knowledge of statistical content and teaching practice, during a teacher education experience. This work was developed as part of a specialization course for elementary school mathematics teachers, in the subjects…

Mathematics teacher educators have suggested that preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') practices provide evidence of their Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT). In an effort to explore connections between MKT and PMTs' practices, we developed a framework that operationalizes Ball et al.'s (2008) six MKT domains in terms of approximations…

This study focused on a pre-service teacher's self-contemplations about the two opportunities provided in a field experience course, Formative Assessment Interviews (FAIs) and Model Building (MB), which were designed to support pre-service teachers developing the skills of noticing students' mathematical thinking. In the field experience,…

This study explores how engineering academic teachers perceive their practical knowledge on learning and feedback. Academic teachers and education directors of different disciplines in an engineering university were interviewed. Responses were analysed using the matrix method and cross-case analysis. Five different profiles emerged that provided…

Using technology to get a graphical representation of functions requires the choice of a suitable viewing window. The literature suggests teachers' knowledge as being central in this process, but does not tell us much about how the teachers should manage this. This study aims to improve understanding about the teachers' choices related to the…

The purpose of this qualitative collective case study was to discover effective induction practices which align with values and characteristics of Generation Z for the purpose of retaining new teachers in Lutheran high schools. The study sought to address teacher shortages by improving the retention of new teachers through the implementation of…

An effective learning environment can be provided when teachers adopt metacognition-based teaching as a part of their course instructions. A well-developed metacognitive teaching approach can effectively develop students' problem-solving strategies. In addition to that contribution, it can provide opportunities for students to notice their own…

This paper explores one child's use of their schema to construct their knowledge and understanding within the early years curriculum for Wales -- the Foundation Phase (FP). It considers how a knowledge of schemas can facilitate practitioners in supporting children along their learning continuum and inform classroom pedagogy. This paper explores…

This article reports on a qualitative case study that explored the use of Kumaravadivelu's "Knowing, Analyzing, Recognizing, Doing, Seeing" model as a teacher evaluation tool to identify critical and reflective aspects of teachers' practices for their professional development. The participants were nine English language teachers and…

The aim of this study is to examine the opinions of primary school teachers about what they pay attention to in determining students with learning disabilities and the ways they follow when they encounter with the students who are thought to be learning disabilities. Participants were 23 female and 26 male primary school teachers. Data were…

The purpose of the paper is to contribute to research on the media's role in naming and framing the debate about teacher education using Sweden as a case study. This is done by analysing how articles published in four major Swedish newspapers from 2016-2017 define: (a) the challenges/strengths of current teacher education and (b) the kind of…
