Writing is a complex skill that includes both physical and cognitive, metacognitive processes. Therefore, it is one of the most difficult language skills to develop. Mastering writing requires the effective use of various skills such as organizing ideas, a well-developed vocabulary, self-organization, and effective use of spelling, grammar, etc.…

Maria Montessori established her first school almost 120 years ago. She prepared teachers herself through lectures as well as practice with Montessori manipulatives, and observation of classrooms. That method of preparing teachers had not changed significantly until recent years. Adult learners needed to attend class full-time in person, making it…

In this article, the authors discuss technology integration curriculum in teacher preparation programs, focusing on key elements of both the curriculum and curriculum development process. Specifically, they highlight the need to develop a coherent teacher preparation program founded on shared values and practices and responsive to change. When…

Preparing student teachers for a profession that continuously changes in relation to digitalisation is a global challenge. By analysing survey data about how teacher educators (N = 389) report that they prepare their students for this challenge, we find that the focus is still on learning to use digital technologies for instrumental purposes,…

This article explores whether the implementation of the B-Learning (BL) and Flipped Classroom (FC) methodologies, using the ICT tool Edpuzzle, in the mandatory subject of Didactics of Plastic Expression in the Early Childhood Education teacher training programme leads to improvements in their education as future teachers. To address this…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of preservice teachers' identity on TPACK regarding the mediating roles of mathematics teaching competency, teacher belief, and technostress across grade levels. A total of 926 preservice mathematics teachers participated in the study. We used structural equation modeling to determine and…

With the mounting urgency to achieve a sustainable future, it is of paramount importance to provide pre-service teachers with a robust understanding of de facto. The present study investigated the potential of ChatGPT-supported educational technologies to enhance the understanding of sustainable development among 20 pre-service teachers at a…

Over the last several decades, digital technology (DT) integration in teaching and learning mathematics has received considerable attention, as such integration has not led to the expected results. Teacher education is a critical factor -- even more important than access to tools and devices -- in technology-enhanced teaching and learning. The…

The benefits of micro-teaching (pre-service teachers practicing their teaching skills with small groups of peers or students) are well documented. However, the overcrowding of the teacher education curriculum, in part due to regulatory mandates, led many initial teacher education (ITE) programs to abandon using micro-teaching. The focus of this…

Teacher preparation programs are ever evolving based on research and student needs. The use of technology, such as virtual reality (VR), is at the forefront of education to help provide opportunities for teacher candidates to practice teaching in a semi-authentic classroom environment of students with and without exceptionalities. VR is a way for…

The integration of digital technology into various sectors has transformed education globally, yet its adoption in Nigeria remains constrained by a lack of adequately trained personnel. This study addresses this gap by developing a Project-Based Arduino Robot Application (PARA) for teaching Robotics Programming to preservice teachers. A Research…

This article presents engaging and practical methods of helping educators to "remix" the evidence-based and high-leverage practices they are already familiar with to include the new capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Transformational modern technologies can be powerful and disruptive, possessing the potential to impact…

As a language teacher, teacher educator and researcher, to me the name Rebecca Oxford has always been synonymous with language learning strategies across the world and specifically the theme of its teachability. Rebecca has always stated that the language teacher's role includes strategy instruction even if it achieves only partial success.…

Providing an overview of the accumulated scientific knowledge regarding the learning of geometry with dynamic software by pre-service mathematics teachers is currently a pertinent issue in Mathematics Education. The interest in this topic within the field is reflected in the significance attributed to the role of the teacher as a pivotal actor in…

The integration of technology in preservice teacher education is a critical aspect of preparing educators for the contemporary classroom. This systematic review, conducted from 2013 to 2023, seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of technological experiences within teacher education programs. Using an aggregative database and applying…
