Teachers have difficulty integrating proof in their mathematics instruction due to both narrow beliefs about proofs and limited understanding of proofs. Indirect proofs seem to be a particular cause for concern. In this exploratory study, we contribute to the research area by reporting on an empirical study of Norwegian pre-service teachers'…

The concept of reflection is probably as old as educational discourse itself. It is an inextricable element of teaching and learning that enables teachers to identify and solve problems related to their teaching practice or learn more about various aspects of their profession. Therefore, to fully prepare reflective language practitioners, it is…

Digital competences are essential to promoting internet users' appropriate, safe, responsible behavior, based on the digital society's needs. We examine self-perception of digital safety education in 1366 students pursuing five degrees in Education from a Spanish university, 2022-2023, by analyzing how these students perceive and understand…

This study aims to understand the views and attitudes of students in the Music Education department at Erzincan Binali Yildirim University Faculty of Education regarding informatics ethics. This research was conducted using a general survey model quantitative research design. The universe of the study comprised students in the Music Education…

In this qualitative study, we examined how prospective mathematics teachers' instructional visions align with their instructional practices through an approximation of practice opportunity. Namely, we employed scripting tasks to understand how prospective teachers complete a scripting task and respond to students' misconceptions, and we compared…

The aim of the study was to examine how students generate problems about the concept of series, and how they evaluate and solve these problems. The difficulties experienced by the students while posing problems and their perceptions of the posing-evaluating-solving approach were also explored. In the first stage, 46 second-year university students…

The purpose of this study was to (1) explore the emotional vulnerabilities experienced by novice TAFL (Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language) and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teachers when teaching in online classes and (2) investigate the emotion regulation strategies that they used to deal with the negative emotions. To such…

The problem to be addressed in this study was that limited social-emotional curriculum and training within preservice education programs may contribute to teachers' increased job stress and low retention rates. The purpose of this qualitative generic study was to explore how novice educators describe whether their preservice curriculum and…

Teacher shortages have been a longstanding issue in U.S. classrooms, largely due to low enrollment in teacher preparation programs. This has led many states to turn to alternative teacher certification programs to fill staffing needs. One such program in Georgia is the Georgia Teacher Academy for Preparation and Pedagogy (GaTAPP). This study…

School improvement efforts rely on teachers' capacity for professional development and learning. We investigate the kind of roles taken by early career teachers (ECTs) with a master's degree from a research-based teacher education programme in relation to professional learning and school development in Norwegian schools after five years in the…

Educator Preparation Programs are designed around expectations of professional standards. As technology, both instructional and assistive, expands in K-12 classrooms, all pre-service educators (i.e., teachers, counselors, leaders, assistive technology specialists) require direct and intentional training in technology selection, implementation…

The purpose of this study was to compare preservice music teachers' self-reflections about their teaching from two perspectives: immediate reflection and video reflection.
