Among all the factors that create the school environment and influence the creation of a favorable atmosphere for more healthy development and education of students, the role of teachers stands out as crucial. Classroom management can be seen as the next important factor that stimulates the learning and teaching process and as a tool to create an…

In primary science education, inquiry-based science instruction stands out as an optimal learning environment for fostering domain-specific content and procedural knowledge. Recognizing the effectiveness of different forms of teacher guidance, there is an ongoing debate about the planning of high (structured inquiry) and low (guided inquiry)…

Teachers' Innovative Behavior (TIB) is increasingly important for today's education. However, available instruments do not meet the complexity of TIB as an individual, collective, planned and unplanned construct. The aim of the present study was to construct a new instrument that meets the requirements of this complexity. We started with a…

Socioscientific issues (SSI) have been found to improve scientific literacy skills among K-12 students. Existing literature shows, however, that elementary preservice teachers are reluctant to implement SSI due to a lack of confidence with subject matter knowledge and knowledge of instruction concerning SSI. Previous research has focused on…

Drawing on ethnographic data of an urban school, this paper contrasts how two White female teachers take up the idea of 'teaching for social justice.'

The target population of the study consisted of the primary school teachers working in Isparta. The sampling held a total of 515 primary school…

Robotics education is valuable for developing students' 21st century competencies. It is of significant importance for teachers and researchers to explore its effective pedagogies. Robotics learning is interdisciplinary, and the most effective pedagogy is problem-oriented instruction. This type of instruction requires students to independently…

Teaching style has long been recognized as a factor influencing students' achievement, particularly in subjects like mathematics. However, its impact on aspiring elementary mathematics teachers, often considered generalists, remains relatively underexplored. Based on the theoretical underpinning of self-determination theory, the paper examines how…

The integration of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into educational settings has gained significant attention due to its positive correlation with student academic achievement and long-term success. While extensively studied in developed nations, empirical evidence regarding SEL implementation in Latin America (LA) remains limited. Uruguay, one of…
