According to the theoretical frameworks and teaching practice, the constructs of the Technology acceptance model - TAM and the Cognitive load theory - CLT are in a close cause-and-effect relationship, and gaining insights into this issue is essential for educators. Our study aimed to examine continuous teaching intention (CTI) with emerging…

This paper investigated teacher wellbeing in a rapidly expanding educational context of Universities of the Third Age in China. Based on the analysis of 48 metaphors innovatively elicited from 27 teacher participants, important cognitive, affective and social aspects of teaching and learning that configure teacher wellbeing have been outlined.

Grappling with uncertainty is an essential element of students' science learning and sense-making processes, yet literature is limited regarding how teachers can facilitate and use student scientific uncertainty as a pedagogical resource in their classrooms. Furthermore, progress on pedagogical practice depends on both the ability to notice one's…

A review of literature suggested that language teacher cognition had been used interchangeably with teachers' knowledge and beliefs, and examined as a static entity to map out the "what" aspect of teachers' minds. More recently, it has evolved to be thought of as being interactive, dynamic, and situated. However, the relationship between…

The authors, a museum educator and a psychiatrist, present a case study of their collaborative work to develop museum experiences for trauma survivors participating in an outpatient treatment program that uses Cognitive Processing Therapy. The thesis behind the program, now in its eighth year, was that an art museum experience could be designed to…

Mechanistic explanations, aiming to disclose details of entities and their activities, employ the act of unpacking which, inherently and paradoxically, produces explanatory gaps--pieces of undisclosed, undetailed mechanistic information. These gaps, termed explanatory black boxes, are often perceived as counterproductive to the teaching of…

We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…

This study used the Community of Inquiry framework to examine how university instructors designed, facilitated, and supported social and cognitive processes in online courses, and how instructors and students experienced these processes. In early 2021, 25 online focus groups were organized with instructors (n = 52) and students (n = 44) from all…

This paper reports results from an Australian study into how teachers see features of quality in student work and connect these to next-step teaching. Data were drawn from a national 3 year project investigating teacher judgement using A-E standards. The project developed scaled exemplars of authentic student written performance assessments to…

When teaching statistics, educators sometimes overestimate their students' knowledge and abilities. This is due to the curse of knowledge, a cognitive bias that causes people--especially experts--to overestimate how likely others are to know and understand the same things as them. This can lead to various issues, including struggling to…

Despite numerous research findings that support play's positive impact on children's learning, pressure to pass high-stakes tests later in the elementary years has prompted a decrease in the amount of time for kindergarten play. While play proponents work to prioritize play in kindergarten, there is a dilemma. How can educators respond to the…

Research shows that Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) foster teachers' professional learning. However, there is little knowledge about their implementation among early childhood (EC) teachers in Chilean and Latin American contexts. This article seeks to characterize two PLCs composed of EC teachers and to analyse, from the participants'…
