Prior research studies have extensively used different classroom observation protocols to identify the characteristics of the lecture and instructional methods used by course instructors, to observe student and instructor behaviours, to evaluate the fidelity of certain implementations, and to understand classroom dynamics. This systematic review…

As mathematics anxiety could result in students' low performance and impact their well-being, it is necessary for both researchers and educators to understand what causes mathematics anxiety and what moderates these effects. Based on the control-value theory, the present study proposed a framework that students' mathematics anxiety was triggered…

Effective teaching is a key factor in educational effectiveness and improvement. To facilitate the knowledge exchange regarding effective teaching in secondary education internationally, there has been a growing interest in using classroom observation measures. However, little is known regarding the comparability of observation measures across…

In this paper, we offer a framework for "teacher monitoring routines"--a consequential yet understudied aspect of instruction when teachers oversee students' working together. Using a comparative case study design, we examine eight lessons of experienced secondary mathematics teachers, identifying common interactional routines that they…

Teachers continually report receiving inadequate training and support in classroom management practices. If teachers do have the opportunity to receive professional development, most are designed as a one-time learning opportunity and do not provide any follow-up training or coaching. Performance feedback has been shown to improve teachers'…

Despite growing interest in formative assessment of teacher practices, research on rates of change in teachers' practices is sparse. This is the first study to examine the characteristics of observed change in classroom practices using the Classroom Strategies Assessment System (CSAS) across alternative schedules of data collection during…

The current study provided voice to nominated exemplar classroom teachers in identifying malleable, discrete aspects of the classroom environment, teacher behavior and practices that define culturally responsive instruction. Interview data from a sample of 13 teachers was analyzed using a consensual qualitative research approach. Results provided…

Foreign language teaching and learning is one of the topics in the field of K-12 education and adult learning. Most of the current research studies tend to focus on the development and training of foreign language learners. However, issues such as teaching strategies, methodologies, classroom management, and personal beliefs of teaching and…

Background: Academic procrastination had been reported widely to be in association with unwanted behaviours among university students. However, this association was not studied extensively in higher educational institutions. Aim: This research aimed to measure the level of academic procrastination among college students and the unwanted behaviours…

Preservice teachers (PSTs) often experience professional anxiety when managing their classrooms. These feelings of anxiety can be reduced, and their feelings of self-efficacy increased by training PSTs' interpersonal competence. This study used authentic learning experiences combining theoretical lectures and 360-degree videos watched with virtual…

This mixed methods study examined initially licensed teachers' culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy (CRTSE) using the CRTSE survey and conducting interviews with initially licensed teachers scoring above the mean on one or more CRTSE constructs. It extended upon previous work conducted by Siwatu (2011) that explored the CRTSE experiences…

This research aims to discover which actions teachers adopt when pupils work cooperatively. 10 primary teachers' performance is analysed, through a qualitative design of observation of teaching practices in classrooms where cooperative learning is developed, complemented with the student teachers' perceptions. The results indicate a marked…

The main contribution of this paper is to highlight the pedagogical orientations of reception teachers in Norwegian schools. I explore reception teachers' approaches and their understanding of their own approaches when interacting with newly arrived minority language pupils (NAMLPs). The theoretical basis of the paper is L.S. Vygotsky's work,…

The aim of this study was to evaluate teacher and student misbehaviours and the methods teachers use with regard to student misbehaviours in primary schools from prospective classroom teachers' point of view. The study used phenomenological method, a qualitative research design, since thorough data collection was performed based on personal…
