This case study investigated the development of prospective mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in graphical data displays with (VM) within the context of a microteaching lesson study (MLS). This research investigated how five participants integrated technology and implemented a lesson plan aimed to teach…

This paper describes and evaluates student teachers' virtual simulation training on teaching a controversial issue. In the fourth year of their program to become social science teachers at lower and upper secondary schools, 43 student teachers in Sweden conducted simulation teaching on conspiracy theories as an example of a controversial issue.…

Practical, or laboratory, work is a common pedagogical strategy used in school science classrooms, yet its effectiveness for enhancing student learning is contested. Developing teachers' pedagogical knowledge about planning for practical work can improve its effectiveness by ensuring that tasks are well-conceived and effective for linking what…

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) begins to develop during teacher education and the teaching practicum reinforces its development. This study is an interpretive inquiry into pre-service mathematics teachers' practicum classrooms. The study explored four pre-service mathematics teachers' PCK through observations and interviews. The pre-service…

Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is defined as the teacher knowledge needed for effective technology integration. This study aimed to investigate preservice elementary mathematics teachers' TPACK development. TPACK survey was administered to 33 preservice teachers (PSTs), and six of them were selected via maximum variation…

It is the responsibility of educator preparation programs (EPPs) to develop well-rounded teachers who are capable of integrating technology into their instruction. Most EPPs include instruction in pedagogy, content, and technology as well as a formal field experience; however, there is a gap between the theory learned in courses and application of…

This study assesses the performance of Turkish science pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a TPACK-Practical Course that consists of the training course and lesson-plan-micro-teaching stages. The subjects of the study were 46 PSTs (19 males and 27 females). In this study, after PSTs took a TPACK training course, they created a TPACK-based lesson plan…

During the industrial revolution, the quality of education improved, and this was reflected in competent and professional teachers. Teacher professional competence can be achieved by combining personal, scientific, technological, social, and spiritual skills.. This study aims at assessing prospective teachers' professional abilities in developing…

This study examined the development of prospective teachers' (PTs) understanding of productive struggle using video episodes which PTs analyzed through the lens of professional teacher noticing. Our qualitative study included 66 PTs in four sections of a semester-long mathematics content course for prospective elementary and middle school teachers…

Purpose: The research aims to explore prospective physics teachers' pedagogical knowledge (PK) through an online microteaching lesson study (OMLS). Design/methodology/approach: The study used a case study with eight prospective physics teachers. Various data sources are triangulated involving audiovisual meeting recording, documents from OMLS…

Learning to teach mathematics is a complex endeavor, requiring sustained focus and time. Yet time is especially scarce in elementary teacher education programs, where preservice teachers (PSTs) learn all content areas. Through a collaborative self-study, five teacher educators identified three time-related tensions in elementary mathematics…

This study investigated the nature of the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) development among 22 prospective teachers enrolled in an elementary science methods course. The nature of prospective teachers' PCK development was investigated in relation to their experiences in planning, enacting, and reflecting upon a Physical science lesson. The…

The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice teachers' (PSTs) knowledge of instructional task progressions (i.e., content development) and depth of content knowledge as a function of content courses in parkour and basketball. 18 preservice teachers (PSTs) (five female and 13 male) in Physical Education from a Belgian university engaged…

Microteaching provides a valuable setting for preservice teachers to practice teaching prior to real classroom teaching experiences, as well as allowing teacher educators to observe the strengths and weaknesses of the preservice teachers' pedagogical content knowledge. Therefore, we studied the preservice mathematics teachers' microteachings, with…

This study investigated preservice elementary science teachers' TPACK development throughout a science teaching method course. The pretest-posttest control group was used in the study. At the end of the study, a self-reported TPACK measure was administered to the experimental (n=26) and control (n=23) groups. The experimental group learned about…
