This study, based on the theory of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge investigated the effectiveness of introducing open source YouTube videos in the teaching and learning of the Chemistry topic 'Group Properties' at a high school in Lesotho. A quasi-experimental design was used for two conveniently selected Form D classes; one class used…

The technology has entered our life day by day and the effects of this are felt in English language teaching and learning, as well as it does in the education. This study aims to investigate the relationship between Turkish EFL teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) skills and attitudes towards technology. This research also…

Four mathematics teacher educators from a large, minority-serving university formed a teaching research group in Fall 2016. The goal for this project is to establish a repeated cycle of improving our mathematics content course for pre-service teachers and to contribute a shared knowledge base which rests on foundation of well-defined learning…

Developing preservice special educators' understandings of curricular content knowledge in inclusive and self-contained settings is essential. The purpose of the present study was to better understand specific preparation practices teacher educators use to equip preservice special educators with curricular content knowledge. Using a survey…

This study investigated the use of Facebook as a medium for, and process of, teachers' informal professional learning regarding mathematical and pedagogical knowledge. Facebook responses to four inter-related posts about mathematics examples from Facebook users (N = 117) were captured and systematically analysed using content analysis. The data…

This study developed and validated an instrument for assessing teachers' perceptions of culturally responsive teaching (CRT) in technology-supported learning environments. The construct validity of this instrument was examined via confirmatory factor analysis and the multiple dimensional partial credit model (MPCM) for item responses. Results…

This study examines how preservice teachers select standards, plan tasks, and develop a full lesson plan focused on a social justice context. While traditional studies of this topic involve scholars examining completed lesson plans, this study is unique in that audio data was recorded to capture the types of discussions preservice teachers engaged…

This paper reports on a longitudinal mixed methods evaluation study on the acquisition and development of mathematical pedagogical content knowledge (MPCK) of future teachers at several German universities. The study is a German supplementary study to the international comparative TEDS-M 2008 study. Besides the pedagogical content knowledge that…

Integrating ICT (Information and Communications Technology) in the learning process is a necessity for a teacher in welcoming the 21st century. Knowledge and modern technology require teachers to learn how to use the technology in their teaching. Edmodo application is a very useful technology product in the learning process.

Chemical representations serve as a cornerstone to guide the teaching of chemistry concepts. The influence that a chemical representation has on instruction is largely dependent on how well the viewer interprets the information in the representation. Teachers serve as a guide to the students as they point out and make connections between the…

Methods for teaching early childhood mathematics and science are often addressed in a single, dual-content course. Approaches to teaching this type of course include integrating the content and the pedagogy of both subjects, or keeping the subject areas distinct. In this article, the authors discuss and illustrate their approach to such a combined…

The concepts of electricity and magnetism in physics are complex and demanding to learn because their meaning builds through several different phenomenological areas. Each of the phenomenological areas adds a certain facet of the meaning of the concept. All standard physics textbooks discuss at least 1) force, 2) energy and work, and 3) electric…

Despite the growing popularity of digital teaching portfolios, research has remained focused on outcomes associated with "creating" digital teaching portfolios instead of examining how they can be used to effectively "assess" what teachers know, especially when it comes to educational technology. One barrier to using portfolios…

Becoming effective teachers is dependent upon a variety of factors intersecting with early career teachers' beginning teaching experiences.
