This study examined secondary agricultural education teachers' perceptions and implementation of SAE and the SAE for All framework. Since the rollout of SAE for All in 2018, little research has been conducted about its implications for school-based agricultural education (SBAE). A census of SBAE teachers in seven Midwest states was conducted in…

The study examines two types of pre-service teachers' teaching motivation and perceptions of teacher morality in China through the following three research questions: (1) What are pre-service teachers' teaching motivations and perceptions of teacher morality? (2) What is the relationship between pre-service teachers' perceptions of teaching…

Despite the evidence supporting reciprocal peer observation (RPO) for teacher professional development, extant literature has reported that teacher resistance is a barrier to its implementation. Few studies have analysed the variables that moderate resistance to RPO. Based on data from 394 in-service teachers who participated in an RPO…

Different from critical literature reviews offering macro-level perspectives on non-native speakerhood/teacherhood traditionally characterized by such terms as native English-speaking teachers and non-native English-speaking teachers (Calafato, Kamhi-Stein, Selvi and Swearingen), this paper adopts a micro-level focus on the provocative question…

Using machine learning, this research aimed to examine the crucial factors that predict the reading performance of fourth-grade students from Türkiye who participated in PIRLS 2021. When trained with the data of 3589 fourth-grade students and their 405 independent variables, the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm properly distinguished between…

While social location substantially impacts faculty experiences on university campuses, comparatively little research has explored the experiences of undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants (TAs). Drawing on semi-structured interviews, this study explores how TAs at one Canadian university construct their identities as they teach. We employ…

A qualitative content analysis was employed to examine what factors contributed to effective teachers' selection and retention in urban high poverty schools. First, the Star Teacher Interview was used to identify effective urban educators. Then, verbal interviews were conducted with star subjects to determine factors that contributed to their…

There is consensus that, for student achievement, teachers matter. However, providing reliable research evidence for the effects of observable teacher characteristics, such as qualification measures, has been difficult. The current study uses panel data based on register information from teachers and students to estimate effects of teacher…

Teacher leadership has received attention for empirical and practical reasons. However, despite the evolution of the concept over the last several decades, there is still dissonance regarding the concept of teacher leadership. This study was grounded in the theory of professional identity to understand how administrators and teachers conceptualize…

Our study determined the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on teachers' attitudes, concerns and sentiments about inclusive education while controlling for teachers' professional-related factors. This is predicated on the increasing influence of EI on teacher effectiveness. The sample size consisted of 508 regular classroom teachers. Using…

This study explored the perspectives on teacher dispositions within a regional area using semi-structured interviews with teacher evaluators. Previous literature shows how the impact of accrediting bodies has accelerated the use and assessment of dispositions as they relate to student performance. However, significant gaps exist in understanding a…

In this article, I leverage the sociological insights of Randall Collins to examine contemporary accounts of "fun teaching" in teacher education: the pervasive mood of "fun," "energy," and "enthusiasm" in North American education faculties and popular teacher professional development literature. Focusing on…

This study explores the resilience of preschool and elementary school teachers (ISCED Level 1) in the Czech Republic. The data were gathered from a sample of 476 preschool teachers and 193 elementary school teachers using The Sense of Coherence Scale, a 29-item measure developed by Antonovsky. This scale consists of three dimensions, specifically…

Purpose: We aimed to determine gender differences in students' moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels measured in primary school by accelerometry. Methods: Our systematic search (PROSPERO: CRD42023422799) was developed using four electronic databases (from January 2013 to December 22, 2023). Our meta-analysis was conducted based on a…

Teachers' expectancy beliefs are strong predictors of successful curriculum implementation. Drawing from the expectancy-value theory (EVT) of achievement motivation, this study assessed teaching expectancy beliefs in curriculum implementation among Business Management teachers (BMTs). A quantitative research design involved 125 BMTs from 89 senior…
