Although computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly prevalent in K-12 education, many teachers find it challenging to integrate it with their classroom learning. In this systematic review, we have reviewed empirical evidence on teachers' computational-thinking-focused professional development (PD). The findings depict the landscape of…

Political discord, social tensions, and global conflicts compel teachers to guide students in exploring diverse perspectives and engaging in constructive, respectful dialogues. Furthermore, the rapid evolution of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), necessitates teachers and school leaders to consider entirely new paradigms in…

In Western societies, school pedagogies tend to be biased in favour of talk and emphasise the links between talking, thinking and learning. Thus talk is often privileged over silence as the basis for learning activities in classrooms, sustained by theories of learning which afford priority to talk. Such cultural bias towards talk means that by…

This paper aims to explore the shared features of effective professional development programmes for improving teachers' assessment literacy (AL). On the basis of the literature review of 17 empirical studies related to teachers' AL improvement, the features of effectiveness can be categorized into three themes: 1) What (Content): The programme…

Reading comprehension instruction was identified by the National Reading Panel as an effective instructional practice to improve students' reading comprehension. Teacher professional development (PD) is essential for effective reading comprehension instruction to occur in schools. The aim of this meta-analysis is to examine the extent to which…

This article reviews research that consistently, across borders and over time, reveals inertia in Higher Education institutions related to innovation in academic teaching. Despite frequent calls for more student-active learning, studies find that teaching remains predominantly traditional and teacher-centred. While research is recognised as…

In order to compete worldwide, the school system must be transformed by raising educational standards by implementing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach. The purpose of the primary school curriculum is closely aligned with the teaching goals of STEM education, which is to develop each child's full…

The pedagogical development (PD) for educators in higher engineering education is indispensable to the promotion of educational changes and high-quality teaching and learning necessary to train twenty-first century engineering talents. With the expansion of various PD activities in engineering education in recent decades, there is a growing need…

Introduction: Integrating digital tools and resources into classroom instruction has become increasingly essential in modern education. As technology advances, teachers face the challenge of effectively integrating digital learning content into dynamic classroom practices. This paper explores the competencies teachers require for this task, aiming…

This literature review examines how mathematics education uses the Technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK). This study examines how TPACK affects mathematics classroom instruction, student engagement, and learning outcomes. A detailed examination and synthesis of pertinent publications over the last decade will accomplish this. The…

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major influence on educational institutions all across the globe, including programs that prepare teachers. Teachers in teacher preparatory programs have looked at alternative instructional methodologies including project-based learning (PBL) in response to the difficulties presented by remote learning and the lack…

This study is aimed to investigate the trends of professional development strategy and learning outcome in 2015-2019. A systematic review was used in analyzing 267 articles published between 2015 and 2019 in the Teaching and Teacher Education. The findings…

Teacher knowledge building (TKB) is indispensable for teachers' continuing professional development (PD). However, studies on how teacher knowledge is built and how to facilitate this process are scarce. In this study, we critically reviewed the existing literature on TKB since 2016, focusing mainly on in-service teachers working in K-12 school…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has recently been gaining popularity in a number of countries. This seems to have ramifications for increasing the intensity with which professional development programmes are implemented at both in-service and pre-service teacher levels. The present study provides a systematic…

This paper aims at understanding the extent to which languages are taught collaboratively in higher education (HE), which team teaching (TT) models have been implemented, and what lessons were learnt from the experiences. Following the Arksey and O'Malley framework [2005. "Scoping Studies: Towards a Methodological Framework."…
