de Araujo, Zandra; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Jacobson, Erik – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
While there is considerable scholarship describing principles for effective professional development, there have been few attempts to examine these principles in practice. In this paper, we identify and examine the particular design features of a mathematics professional development experience provided for middle grades teachers over 14 weeks. The…

Bieda, Kristen; Cavanna, Jillian; Ji, Xueying – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Field experience can be a rich site for prospective teachers to develop the knowledge and skills they need for effective teaching, however little is known about how structures for supporting interactions between mentor and prospective teachers can maximize prospective teachers' learning. Lesson study has been shown to enhance practicing teachers'…

Manfra, Meghan McGlinn; Spires, Hiller A. – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2013
This study offers a new way to assess TPACK within the context of a graduate program revitalized to focus on new literacies. Whereas previous studies have focused on teacher lesson planning or modeling best practices, our research examines TPACK by exploring the Creative Synthesis Projects of graduates from our program. These projects reveal the…

Blank, Rolf K. – Journal of Staff Development, 2013
Today's education policy places a high priority on improving teacher quality and teaching effectiveness in U.S. schools. Standards-based professional learning requires teachers to have deep subject knowledge and the most effective pedagogy for teaching the subject. States and school districts are charged with establishing teacher professional…

Ferguson-Patrick, Kate – Issues in Educational Research, 2011
Teacher retention has long been recognised as a significant problem in many education systems, while retaining early career teachers is particularly problematic. Although a variety of interventions have been suggested to support beginning teachers, too little attention has been paid to the importance of enhancing their knowledge about pedagogy in…

Newton, Douglas P.; Newton, Lynn D. – Educational Studies, 2009
Primary school teachers generally have to teach several subjects. Their training, however, is often fairly short and it is tempting to force-feed them with everything they need to know to teach these subjects. It is more realistic to accept that a short course cannot do everything. Instead, it would be better to equip these students with skills…

Daehler, Kirsten R.; Shinohara, Mayumi – Research in Science Education, 2001
Explores the potential of science teaching cases to deepen teachers' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. While many teachers began discussions without a clear understanding of certain key concepts, after a two-hour case discussion and brief hands-on activities, they collaboratively developed a deeper understanding of the content.…

Adams, Paul E.; Krockover, Gerald H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Identifies the major tenets of a preservice secondary education program, knowledge structures that beginning science teachers have constructed about the teaching and learning of science, and the correlation between them. Findings indicate that aspects of the program such as student-centered learning, cooperative learning, general pedagogical…

Watters, James J.; Ginns, Ian S. – Research in Science Education, 1997
Explores the involvement and professional growth of a teacher in a professional development project entitled Simply Science. Findings indicate an increase in the teacher's pedagogical content knowledge and confidence in teaching science and a change in her views about cooperative learning strategies. Discusses implications for the design of…

Quinn, Robert J. – Journal of Educational Research, 1997
Investigated the effects of mathematics methods courses that used manipulatives, technology, and cooperative learning on preservice mathematics teachers' meaningful mathematical content knowledge and attitudes toward mathematics. Pre- and postintervention student teacher surveys indicated that there were significant increases in content knowledge…
