This study assesses the performance of Turkish science pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a TPACK-Practical Course that consists of the training course and lesson-plan-micro-teaching stages. The subjects of the study were 46 PSTs (19 males and 27 females). In this study, after PSTs took a TPACK training course, they created a TPACK-based lesson plan…

This study aims (1) to develop JIDI learning model in the course of Qur'an tafsir; (2) to evaluate JIDI learning model in the course of Qur'an tafsir. The approach of study uses mixed method with a descriptive-evaluative and experiment research designs to evaluate the JIDI learning model in the course of Qur'an tafsir. The population of study are…

To solve mathematical modelling problems, students must translate real-world situations, which are typically presented in text form, into mathematical models. To complete the translation process, the problem-solver must first understand the real-world situation. Therefore, reading comprehension can be considered an essential part of solving…

Flipped instruction has been flaunted as a pedagogical strategy that supports improved learning and retentive abilities of students. Nevertheless, one of the twin challenges reported in the literature, students' failing to complete preparatory work, impedes the efficacy of the model. Thus, learners' motivation and attitude to work are essential…

Competency with mathematical modelling is increasingly important for career and informed and engaged participation in personal, civic and work life. In this paper we report on an aspect of a three-year longitudinal study that aimed to identify and describe enablers of mathematical modelling. Teacher interview data has been drawn upon to exemplify…

Natural history museums (NHM) are important for students' learning and motivation. However, the lack or scarcity of NHMs in countries with emerging markets may hamper the learning process. Virtual 3D models represent an important tool to counterbalance the lack of access of students to NHMs. Our study aims to understand if the use of 3D models may…

The miracle question (MQ) is a technique for assessing clients' ability to discover their potential in search of solutions. Educators can train students to use the classic MQ (What would life be without this problem?) to develop solution-focused skills in social work and counseling. This article describes the MQ Variations tool derived from the…

Analogies and modelling have been developed and applied in learning and teaching science to facilitate students' understanding of abstract concepts, such as atomic structure. Considering few studies focus on comparing the effects of two teaching strategies--analogy-based teaching (ABT) and modelling-based teaching (MBT)--this study aims to compare…

Values education has become a necessary tool in response to the rise in moral deterioration in an average South African society today. The school is viewed as one of the key players in nurturing children into adulthood. The teaching of values that can give the growing generation, necessary moral development is one of the responsibilities of the…

In this article we aim to deepen our understanding of the content and nature of the early childhood teacher's knowledge, focusing on those aspects which might promote students' algebraic thinking. Approaching arithmetic from the viewpoint of algebra as an advanced perspective and considering the analytical model "Mathematics Teachers'…

The purpose of this action research was to improve mathematical problem-solving abilities using the virtual 5E instructional organization for undergraduate math students who required to pass the criteria of 70% of the full score. This study involved thirty undergraduate math students from one university who were enrolled in mathematical…

Advanced clarification is an essential part of thinking skills relevant to students, which contains the ability evaluate, make decisions and make arguments. This ability is needed to prepare students to face the VUCA era. Clarity Learning Model (CLM) is a formulation of IBL, and the strengthening of reasoning abilities aims to improve advanced…

Education librarians are receiving an increasing number of requests to help researchers with systematic reviews. Systematic reviews are evidence syntheses that require comprehensive, reproducible search strategies. Many of the available training programs and materials focus on systematic reviews in the health sciences, not education or the social…

This pedagogical paper presents an approach to urban design taught in the "Complex Densities Studio" CDS of the Institute of Architecture and Earth Sciences of Setif (IAST). This approach is based on urban analysis and scenario building, the use of parametric tools, and the constitution of reusable "parametric actions". The…

The professional learning experiences of K-12 educators are a critical and complex part of continuously improving teaching and learning within a school.
