This two-phase study examined the educative features of upper elementary Eureka Math curriculum as well as examined take-up of those educative features in two classrooms at each grade level. Using an analytical framework based on Males (2011) and Quebec Fuentes and Ma (2018) in the first phase, I coded the educative features of a module at both…

This comparison study examined differences in knowledge, beliefs and instructional practices regarding early literacy instruction between first grade teachers (n = 17) who received extensive content specific professional development (n = 13) and teachers who did not (n = 4). Participants were from 14 elementary ethnically and socioeconomically…

The aim of the study is to investigate the learning objectives and teacher practices in the preschool curriculum implemented in the present in terms of the revised Bloom's taxonomy. A case study design of qualitative research methods is used in the study. In collecting research data, the convenience sampling method of purposive sampling is used.…

Studying the sources of teachers' knowledge and the importance of different sources is of great significance to promote the development of teachers' knowledge. This paper systematically analyzes 27 empirical studies on the sources of teachers' knowledge in China and abroad in the past two decades or so in terms of methods and findings. The results…

This paper is based on an argument that the disruption of school spaces can demerit the myth that Mathematics is difficult and a struggle for learners in some contexts. Combining spatial theories and the phenomenon of disruption, the paper reports from a qualitative research project that analyzed the dynamics of space and place in South African…

The "leaky pipeline" in STEM remains an open issue. The integration of multiple STEM subjects, especially technology, is a promising approach, and pre-collegiate STEM teachers are particularly underprepared in this content area. In this case study, the authors explore and characterize the discussions of pre-collegiate STEM teachers among…

Since the development of the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework, researchers have been developing a variety of instruments to measure the TPACK of pre-service and in-service teachers. The task of developing an efficient, reliable, and valid instrument is difficult. Even validated instruments require guidance for…

This article discusses how two beginning mathematics teachers mobilize and develop their didactics knowledge, specifically concerning knowledge of statistical content and teaching practice, during a teacher education experience. This work was developed as part of a specialization course for elementary school mathematics teachers, in the subjects…

This study aims at investigating inclusive pedagogical content knowledge (IPCK) of mathematics teachers who teaches in inclusive classes including learning disabilities (LD) students or hearing impairments (HI) students in the context of angle concept. The study is a cross-case study which facilitates the comparison as one of the multiple case…

Institutionally implemented learning technologies are often not adopted or are underused by academic staff. We aimed to better understand this problem by drawing on the notion of professional identity to explore the challenges academic staff experienced when they were to adopt a replacement learning management system (LMS). We describe a single…

TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) is a crucial necessity for instructors and teachers during the teaching and learning process, particularly when using instructional technologies. The goal of this study is to learn more about the TPACK level of knowledge and skill among school trainee teachers in teaching Arabic language and…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, school closures were mandated by governments across the globe. This necessitated an abrupt shift to online/distance teaching. Through a mixed-methods study, the authors explored STEM teachers' transition to online teaching and learning in a Canadian context. This subset of the larger study investigated: (1) teachers'…

Background: The COVID-19 crisis forced education providers around the world to cancel contact teaching in schools as part of measures to limit contact between people and to slowdown the spread of the virus. The rapid and unexpected transition to distance teaching in the beginning of the pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge for teachers and…

To investigate the impact of the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) on the development of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework for Vocational High School teachers in the Digital Era 4.0, this research will look at the integration of ICT. The evaluation of the Online Learning Implementation…

The study assessed the science teaching confidence of preservice teachers in teaching elementary science by addressing two research questions: (1) Did preservice teachers understand the science concepts well enough to be effective in teaching elementary science content? (2) Did preservice teachers have the necessary science concepts and skills to…
