This study focuses on how science teachers' Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) can be captured and developed with the support of Content representation (CoRe) in combination with video-based reflection when they plan, teach, and reflect on their teaching in sustainable development (SD). The theoretical framework is based on PCK, and the Refined…

The general purpose of this research is to examine the mediating effect of STEM attitudes between STEM pedagogical content knowledge (CK) and STEM intra-class practice self-efficacy. This research was conducted in a causal design. A total of 345 teacher candidates, 261 females (75.7%) and 84 males (24.3%), were included in the research. The data…

This multiple case study dissertation aimed to examine one of the domains of pedagogical content knowledge, knowledge of content and students, between different types of elementary coaches and between coach and their respective collaborating teachers.

This study presents the role of pre-service teacher training in developing Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) levels. The study had two main objectives. The first was to analyze the role of pre-service teacher training in enhancing teachers' TPACK levels, and the second was to compare the two training routes (traditional and…

This study investigated how an intervention consisting of a series of physical science lessons embedded within the elementary science methods course impacted elementary preservice teachers' (N = 473) science content knowledge as evidenced in their scaled scores for the science content component of a standardized subject certification examinations…

Disciplinary knowledge lies at the heart of academic work. However, connecting academics' disciplinary knowledge to their professional development as teachers has been a longstanding challenge for (research-intensive) universities. This is reflected in criticism of the practices that aim to support the professional development of university…

Background: Pedagogical approaches to learning about LGBTQI+ themes and experiences remain a largely understudied topic in teacher education. This is partly due to anxieties around exploring these themes in nuanced and sensitive ways, with many teacher educators feeling ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of exploring so-called…

This study aims to assess the impact of metacognitive awareness of the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) among preservice teachers. The investigation was carried out as descriptive research, involving a normative survey method. The sample consists of 200 preservice teachers in Karaikudi, drawn through a simple random sampling…

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.…

Ben-Peretz's (1975) concept of intended curriculum describes a version of curriculum that 'official' curriculum developers create to provide a detailed guide to what teachers are required to teach in schools. While some curricula are intended to guide learning, others give a more definitive regulation of what must be taught. Either way, they are a…

This study examined pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) about seasons. The framework of this study was based on the Refined Consensus Model (RCM), and pre-service teachers' topic-specific PCK was also discussed in two dimensions: personal PCK (pPCK) and enacted PCK (ePCK), which are included in this model. The pPCK of…

Sustaining changes in teachers' practices is a challenge that determines the success of curricular reforms, from which Digital Education (DE) is not exempt. As the literature on sustainability is considered "scarce" and "scattered", long-term studies modelling the factors impacting teachers' sustained uptake of DE pedagogical…

The current study utilized a pre-and post-intervention design to assess pre-service teachers' self-efficacy, perceived content knowledge, and perceived pedagogical knowledge before and after a teaching practicum in the Pakistani context. The data were collected in two phases. In the pre-practicum phase, data were collected from 419 pre-service…
