We present a model for Professional Development (PD) for in-service generalist primary teachers of science. The Remote Classroom Modelling (RCM) model is specifically designed to address salient challenges in the context of professional isolation. We share the principles that supported the design of this PD prototype, and the insights and lessons…

The 2013 Curriculum emphasizes the importance of incorporating ICT to improve learning effectiveness. One framework that is useful in this context is TPACK, which stands for Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. This research aims to examine the ability of geography teachers to utilize TPACK and to support teachers in implementing…

This preliminary quantitative research investigates preservice teachers' (PSTs) perceptions of adopting ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, focusing on the early stage of the diffusion of innovation (DOI) process. The study aims to understand PSTs' innovation consciousness and how it influences their perceptions of integrating ChatGPT…

The narrative permeating higher education institutions globally is the intention to advance the quality of preservice mathematics teachers to gain better performance than mathematics school learners. In this article we report on a qualitative case study which explored the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of preservice teachers (PST) (n = 20) at…

The use of existing and emerging technologies in teaching modalities and learning spaces provides the opportunity to present subject-area content using devices, programs, and modalities in more authentic ways that promote higher order thinking and promote long-term concept retention. In the last decade, advances in artificial intelligence (AI)…

The article discusses the topical issue of a model of digital competencies for a future teacher. The analysis of the composition and structure of the most relevant models of digital competencies of a citizen and a modern teacher is carried out. In addition, the article reveals approaches to the formation of the content of digital competence, and…

There is a collective agreement about the necessity of content knowledge (CK) as a prerequisite for pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). However, most PCK models lack explanatory power because of the missing link between CK and PCK. Thus, the study firstly attempts to develop a theoretical model that consists of knowledge of students' learning…

This research delves into the multifaceted landscape of various factors that influence the adoption of Generation-Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) in Higher Education. By employing a comprehensive framework that includes perceived risk, perceived ease of use, usefulness, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), and trust, the study…

Technology acceptance is rooted at the center of the growing body of research in lieu of education, educational technology, and teacher education. This is mainly occupied with the idea of integrating technology into the classroom setting in order to trigger learners to be advanced in higher-order thinking skills and be digitally literate in order…

Mathematical terminology is sometimes created according to conventions that are not obvious to students who will use the term. When this is the case, investigating the choice of a name can reveal interesting and unforeseen connections among mathematical topics. In this study, we tasked prospective and practicing teachers to consider: What is…

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to explore the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' pedagogical content knowledge regarding the effect of temperature on reaction rate topic as they took pedagogical content knowledge courses throughout the teacher education program. Pre-service teachers' pedagogical content knowledge was…

Scientific modeling is a scientific practice that uses models to prepare elementary and middle school science teachers to engage students using scientific inquiry. Model-based inquiry (MBI) is a pedagogical teaching approach that engages students using scientific inquiry during scientific modeling. However, preservice teachers lack understanding…

Instructional technology in courses of K-12 level for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners demonstrates numerous benefits for their learning, including increased engagement and improved academic outcomes. However, integrating technology into teaching practices heavily relies on teachers' competence in technology. Even though teacher…

This article reports an investigation into the impact of presenting communicative traits of writing through cooperative learning on trainee teachers' pedagogical knowledge and attitudes towards a 'traits of writing' approach and cooperative learning.
