Eliciting and attending to students' thinking is an important component of teaching mathematics for understanding. Clinical interview protocols have shown the potential to support teachers in developing these skills. However, less is known about how to support teacher leaders' knowledge and development of these skills. Given that teacher leaders…

This randomized control trial evaluated the impact of a year-long professional development (PD) program on elementary teachers' CS content knowledge, self-efficacy, and CS implementation. It also investigated teachers' PD experiences and expectations. The findings suggest that treatment teachers' self-efficacy for teaching CS significantly…

The integration of AI into TPACK frameworks is crucial for enhancing teacher readiness in an increasingly technology-driven educational environment. However, a significant gap exists in literature regarding assessing preservice teachers' knowledge on the integration of AI into their pedagogical practices based on the TPACK framework. This study…

This study analyzes the mathematical knowledge to teach early algebra exhibited by pre-service early childhood education teachers, from the perspective of the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) model. The research adopts a mixed exploratory-descriptive methodological approach, based on the application of the MKT-early algebra questionnaire…

This article presents a new teaching method that embraces media production as a principle in education, aimed at effectively conveying the philosophy of mathematics. Based upon this premise, the content of the philosophy of mathematics course was reimagined as a digital newspaper, reminiscent of past printed editions. This transformation was…

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…

Teacher education reforms worldwide have reinforced a narrative that 'high-quality' teaching and teachers are the most significant contributors to raising education achievement, reducing societal inequities, and boosting economic development. Consequently, countries have put substantial efforts into regulating initial teacher education (ITE) to…

Climate change education is a challenge for teachers, as they must have appropriate content knowledge to teach the topic adequately. Every teacher is confronted with both their own knowledge and non-knowledge, as well as with scientific knowledge and non-knowledge. The uncertainty about this knowledge depends on individual perception and can have…

In the past, visual arts education in Hong Kong was not considered an important area of early childhood education. While the Hong Kong kindergarten curriculum has recently been updated to encourage creativity, there remains a lack of adequate visual arts education for young children. This deficiency stems from the fact that the visual arts receive…

The study investigates the knowledge profiles of elementary pre-service teachers (PST) concerning numbers and operations before their professional classroom practice. By validating an instrument through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it identifies and categorizes the PST' performance into distinct profiles based on the mathematical…

The knowledge of the materials to be taught to the students is the basic knowledge that preservice mathematics teachers should possess, as they need to prepare themselves for teaching. In order to research preservice teachers' understanding of the subject matter and teaching skils, valid and reliable test instruments are required. Knowledge of…

In this article, we describe the implementation and results of a formative experience with prospective mathematics teachers, focused on developing the competence for didactic-mathematical analysis of curriculum materials, specifically student workbooks related to probability. The research design follows a methodological approach typical of…

This paper employs Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as an analytical heuristic in exploring the internationally prevalent situation of teaching out-of-field. Drawing on interview transcripts, we use CHAT to frame the activity of a young teacher teaching mathematics out-of-field in a small rural K-12 school in Australia. We identify and…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to better understand Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) curricular offerings related to physical activity leadership training competencies that occur within physical education teacher education programs across the United States. Methods: Physical education teacher education program…

There is a strong relationship between the quality of education, teachers' decisions and instructional actions, and knowledge. All of them have an important role outcome of the lesson and students' learning. The focus of this study was to discover how the process of students' learning or incapability of learning was affected by teaching practices.…
