Teachers who know what, how and why to teach are essential for successful student learning. However, many preservice teachers (PSTs) lack teaching experience and the ability to integrate theory and practice. To help bridge this gap, this study employed a learning-by-design project approach in which 22 Korean PSTs developed lesson plans for middle…

This paper aims to explore an Indonesian prospective mathematics teacher's lesson planning and identify its characteristics of mathematical task design from the viewpoint of the anthropological theory of the didactic. The well-documented activities concerning lesson planning developed by the prospective mathematics teacher in her experiment to…

This case study compared preservice primary school teachers' and primary school teachers' experiences with multi-grade teaching in the 2018--2019 academic year. The sample consisted of 17 fourth-year students in the department of primary school teaching education of a public university and 14 multigrade teachers from 12 schools in Turkey. The…

While recent research has examined students' and teachers' understanding of models and modeling, few studies have focused on how teacher educators can support preservice elementary science teachers in envisioning enriched learning processes and outcomes for their students while engaging in modeling practices. Informed by reflective practices…

ChatGPT holds significant potential for enhancing learning through integration into education as an advanced chatbot. With the goal of harnessing this potential, our research focused on exploring the utilization of ChatGPT in designing a course plan for pre-service science teachers. We adopted a qualitative research approach and employed ChatGPT…

Science learned requires constructivist experiences so that students could learnt to discover and conclude. However, today's learned challenges were increasing along with the diversity of students and interests. The aimed of this researched was to increase the knowledge and practiced of prospective science teachers in didactic practiced through…

In this article, we analyse a script of an imagined classroom interaction from the perspectives of politeness and positioning. The script was written by a prospective teacher, Cara, as part of her Lesson Play. The Lesson Play was prompted by her reflection on how the needs of students who are disaffected with mathematics might be met, an issue…

This paper aims to examine the extent to which pre-service teachers' mathematical connection skills were promoted through the course designed within the scope of pedagogies of practice (Grossman et al. [2009]. Teaching practice: A cross-professional perspective. Teachers College Record, 111(9), 2055-2100.…

The present research inquired about beliefs of in-service and pre-service mathematics teachers as well as the analysis and comparison between the beliefs that they declare, argue, and reflect in their lessons plans, and the use of those beliefs in their practical exercises. Five pre-service teachers studying a Bachelor's in Mathematics, and three…

Prior research has established preservice literacy teachers' beliefs about teaching and learning are often misguided and/or overly-simplistic, yet limited work has examined in what ways their in-the-moment teaching decisions align or misalign with what they believe. This qualitative study used deductive analysis methods to: (1) Identify three…

Early experiences with planning and guiding children's learning can be exciting for preservice teachers in undergraduate teacher training programs. In this article, observations of a preschool play session guide four preservice teachers to design a series of play-centered lessons addressing serious science concepts (Hall 2010). While the concepts…

In recent decades, scholars of teacher education have suggested that teacher educators (TEs) should integrate the development of prospective teachers' (PTs') knowledge with their skills for enacting teaching, characterized in the literature as pedagogies of practice. One way to operationalize pedagogies of practice is through engaging PTs in…

This qualitative study aims to explore how the production of language learning materials using spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) affords pre-service teachers multiliteracy development while also attempting to discover their perceptions toward adopting this emerging technology for future language teaching. Data from multiple sources was…

Planning a lesson remains a challenging task for the teachers. The transition from a student into a pre-service teacher and turn out into an effective teacher is a challenging task in the teaching field. We all know the nexus between the significant roles of a lesson plan in an effective teaching-learning process. This study aims to analyze the…

This study aims to investigate pre-service teachers' integration of technology and how the integration of technology influences the level of cognitive demands of the mathematics tasks in their mathematics technology activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the various levels of cognitive demands of mathematical tasks created or…
