Translanguaging theory highlights the dynamic use of multiple languages and communication modes by multilingual people in their daily experiences. Museums are informal family learning spaces where multilingual families use languages and other semiotic resources to create learning opportunities for their children. Using a microethnographic approach…

Although existing research describes how teacher candidates (TCs) have incorporated translanguaging pedagogies through practice-based assignments, little research closely examines how TCs engage in discursive shifts, or moment-to-moment linguistic decisions, in translanguaging pedagogies during literacy instruction in their field placement…

Identifying effective methods that can counteract seasonal trends in learning loss is essential to ensure continuous literacy growth of young learners. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is a solution for providing an effective summer literacy program that could help offset summer learning loss. In this study, four-year-old students from South…

Evaluating students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (i.e., emergent bilinguals) presents challenges to evaluation teams, as distinguishing between a language disorder and typical second language development is more complex. The skills and knowledge required to do this task often exceed the level of training that evaluators…

This study explores the influence of teaching methods of service digitalization and innovative work behaviour models on fresh graduates. In the digital transformation era, the application of information technology is becoming increasingly important to improve work efficiency and effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the extent to which…

As of April 2024, 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have laws or policies related to evidence-based reading instruction (Schwartz, 2024). To ensure the success of these efforts, educators need and deserve multifaceted support that involves professional learning, curriculum resources, ongoing support from leaders and coaches, and a…

In 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that learning to read is a fundamental human right and failure to provide appropriate education for students with reading disabilities is discriminatory (Moore v. British Columbia, 2012). In Ontario, Canada's most populous province, the Human Rights Commission's inquiry in 2022 found the province's…

This paper presents a cross validation study of four instruments commonly used to assess educator proficiency in technology integration. Data for the validation study were contributed by 357 teacher preparation candidates enrolled in university coursework in the Netherlands. Factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, reliability analyses and…

The global education system has two primary objectives: achieving universal quality early childhood education (ECE) and integrating information and communication technology (ICT). We sought to determine whether preservice preschool teachers possess the necessary knowledge to integrate ICT into ECE by examining the technological pedagogical content…

Digital competence in teaching is a challenge in the professional practice of university teachers and a problem identified in the research that needs to be addressed. In particular, assessment of the level of technological skills is a key element for making decisions regarding teacher training and future lines of research, especially when it comes…

The complex interplay between labour market needs and education poses significant challenges to the teaching profession, frequently criticised for its perceived inadequacy in addressing contemporary work - life dynamics and professional practices. In response to these challenges, the "'Micro-Placements'" initiative was introduced in an…

This article examines the transformative educational practices and democratic ethos of Black Mountain College, an experimental institution ahead of its time. Drawing on insights from scholars like Rhea Estelle Lathan and Susan Kates, Muir positions Black Mountain as a site of community literacies, by prioritizing democratic engagement, diversity,…

In this conceptual essay, I ask, what might happen when educators default to unexamined habits in their classrooms? How might we be ignoring the more creative pedagogical options, not for lack of good intentions but simply out of routine and tradition? I utilize John Dewey's ('Habit.' In "John Dewey: The Later works," edited by J. A.…

Background: This research was motivated by noticing shortcomings in the TPACK framework, which does not take account of the affective dimension (e.g., emotions, moods, attitudes and values) of teaching and learning with and about technology, despite this being a key predictor of whether teachers incorporate technology into teaching and learning.…
