This paper examines the impact of an intensive professional development on practicing teachers' mathematics discussion-leading practice. A tool for examining specific discussion-leading moves was used to measure change in teachers' practice as observed through submitted video recordings of mathematics discussions. Participants included 33 teachers…

The teaching quality evaluation of college teachers is an important indicator of school evaluation, performance assessment and teacher promotion. However, the existing evaluation methods are only limited to the formal evaluation of teaching behavior, and have not achieved objective, reasonable and scientific evaluation results. The purpose of this…

Regarding children's books' influences on a variety of social and individual components, this study aims to analyze educational components and philosophies in Pippi Longstocking.

The current study explored the reasons for students' preferences for the teach-first and task-first lesson structures, and whether students' preferences were influenced by their perceptions of the teacher's preference. Students (n=18) from two composite Year 3 and 4 classes (aged 8-10 years) completed a post-lesson drawing task and participated in…

We explore multi-modal machine learning-based approaches (facial expression recognition, auditory emotion recognition, and text sentiment analysis) to identify "negative moments" of teacher-student interaction during classroom teaching. Our analyses on a large (957 videos, each 20min) dataset of classroom observations suggest that: (1)…

This study aimed to reveal general landscape of research on teacher resilience, employing descriptive and bibliometric analyses. Descriptive analyses were performed utilizing Web of Science's internal system, while bibliometric analyses were executed through the VOSviewer program. Web of Science Core Collection was used as a data source. Citation…

This descriptive study attended to the extent to which we see evidence of the presence of four practices that promote equity and access in 141 grades 3-8 mathematics lessons in the United States. We found that lessons generally showed evidence of some incorporation of the practices but often not at the highest level. Teachers in this sample…

Mathematics education research has focused on developing teachers' knowledge or other visible aspects of the teaching practice. This paper contributes to conversations around making a teacher's thinking visible and enhancing a teacher's pedagogical reasoning by exploring the use of pedagogical documentation. In this paper, we describe how a…

In the era of online learning, Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Blackboard and Moodle offer a great variety of functions to facilitate teaching and learning and are widely used in the context of higher education. Most previous studies using data mining have focused on exploring student behavior patterns toward using LMSs, but seldom…

Perpetrators of workplace bullying in higher education hurt the academic work environment and demoralize the faculty and staff. While European researchers have documented the impact workplace bullying has on employee health, American researchers are just beginning to consider the health problems associated with workplace bullying. Further, as…

Both Seychelles and South Africa are experiencing serious challenges with regard to providing for the need to employ the required number and quality of teachers -- needs that are differentiated according to specific areas of competencies. In the paper, it is argued that each of the education systems of these two countries should have a…

Researchers in the field of online learning have raised concerns over its lack of focus on the affective/emotional aspect of the online learning experience, despite a strong research base indicating the important role that emotions play in successful and effective learning (Ch'ng, 2019). Utilizing a phenomenological methodological approach, the…

Teachers' use of power in learning environments affects our students' experiences, our teaching experiences, and the extent to which learning goals are met. The types of conversations we hold or avoid with students send cues regarding how we use power to develop relationships, influence behaviour and entice motivation. Reliance on prosocial forms…

This study addresses how teachers' ideology contributes to what they teach by implementing a scale capable of measuring teachers' civic education ideology, and comparing them with levels of system-justification and emphasized civic behavior. Findings indicate that system-justification strongly contributes to civic education ideology, which also…
