Purpose: Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions were forced to close temporarily. Subsequently, online education replaced conventional classroom instruction, becoming the mainstream instructional method. This led to a significant change in lecturers' approaches in teaching translation courses. This study aims to…

Digital technologies have the potential to increase the quality of instruction; however, using digital technologies does not necessarily guarantee high-quality teaching. Therefore, teachers need specific professional knowledge on how to use and implement digital technologies. Moreover, teachers need to know how beliefs about learning with digital…

Education worldwide has emphasized 21st-century competencies, including language competence, computer competence, and thinking skills. Research on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), essential teacher knowledge, has attempted to address the need for technology integration to support thinking skills. However, existing TPACK…

In the South African educational system, student teachers are deployed to schools for practical experience, where they are monitored by lecturers from their universities. Student teachers are also mentored by teachers allocated to them by the school principal. Some of these mentoring teachers are themselves newly qualified and may have little or…

The aim of the study is to investigate the level of understanding of light-related concepts of teacher candidates who took the "Basic Science in Primary School" course in the classroom teaching undergraduate program. This research is a descriptive study. The study group consists of 65 teacher candidates, 51 female, and 14 male studying…

In this study we investigated pre-service teachers' (PSTs) proportional reasoning and how they interpret their calculations in proportional tasks. We administered a written questionnaire to 199 PSTs and used an inductive content analysis approach for data analysis. We found that one item, in which PSTs were asked to interpret the meaning of the…

This study used a modified mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) framework to compare the "common content knowledge" (CCK) of two groups of purposively selected pre-service primary mathematics teachers (n = 86) in relation to spatial visualization. Specifically, thirty-five pre-service teachers (n[subscript 1] = 35) with a pure…

The study used the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework to determine the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) teachers' experiences and practices. Data were sourced through interviews, classroom observations and document analysis from purposively selected 106 STEM teachers (from randomly identified…

Secondary school students are increasingly exposed to texts containing morphologically complex words. Morphological knowledge may help with understanding those words. Appropriate educational materials to teach morphological awareness (MA) are scarce. A design-based approach was used to develop an MA-intervention for Dutch secondary school…

Teachers' knowledge has been an important research focus for many decades. Although many empirical studies have been carried out regarding content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, less attention has been paid to general pedagogical knowledge (GPK). The focus of this study is the exploration of different definitions and dimensions of…

The proliferation of screen-free programmable robotics allows teachers to implement age-appropriate integrated activities that can promote child learning and development. However, very scarce is known about the challenges of using programmable robots as a tool to empower children in minority communities. This mixed-methods case study examined a…

There is an increased demand to empower pre-service teachers (PSTs) with knowledge and skills regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for teaching science. Using the technology acceptance model as theoretical lens, this paper explores the self-concept and views of PSTs in their final year of study regarding their…

This research aims to determine whether there is an influence of applying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model with the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) Approach on the historical learning outcomes of high school students of Sultan Iskandar Muda Medan. This study uses a quasiexperiment research method. The population in…

The study used the TPACK (technological pedagogical content knowledge) framework to determine the STEM teacher's experiences and practices. Data were sourced through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis from purposively selected 106 STEM teachers (from randomly identified universities/colleges of the 17 regions of the…

The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical investigation of the critical determinants for the adoption of learning analytics in higher education. A conceptual model was proposed to understand better the adoption of learning analytics in higher education by teaching staff. Structural equation modelling is used for testing and validating…
