Technology can assist instructional designers and teachers in meeting the needs of learners in traditional classrooms and virtual course environments. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many teachers and instructional designers began looking for resources they could use for hybrid and online course delivery. Many found that the cost of some technology…

When examining success in mathematics education, it should be taken into consideration that it is important to examine teachers' work with their resources. In this study, it is aimed to examine this work through the processes of using and transforming the resources into documents. In this context, the "Documentational Approach to…

School-based learning communities, which include a variety of learning activities, exemplify a bottom-up approach to knowledge growth for teachers. Drawing on the perspective of organisational knowledge, this paper explores the dynamic processes and effects of knowledge development among teachers in school-based settings. Thirty-one secondary…

Purpose: The authors developed a lesson study innovation for bridging pre-service teachers' experiences in an early methods course and clinical experiences focusing on the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The authors analyze one planning meeting by a lesson study team comprised of four pre-service teachers and…

To understand what teachers need to teach towards big ideas in the classroom, there is a need to systematically interface different conceptions of big ideas in mathematics with models of teacher knowledge. We conducted a literature review on horizon knowledge and big ideas to clarify both constructs and their relationships. Twenty-one journal…

Science instruction in elementary schools can be poorly defined, of low status, and taught by teachers with inadequate subject knowledge (Shulman, 2015). This confusion can lead to low teacher confidence, morale, and professional dissatisfaction which may contribute to high attrition rates and diminished value of science teaching and learning…

Computer science education is being recognized globally as necessary to better prepare students in all grade levels, K-12, for future success. As a result of this focus on computer science education in the United States and around the world, there is an increased demand for highly qualified teachers with content and pedagogical knowledge to…

This study examined technology integration in K-12 schools during a global pandemic from the perspective of classroom teachers. Three theoretical frameworks were used to support this study: Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition (SAMR) Model Theory, and Sensemaking Theory. TPACK is…

The Doctor of Education (EdD) degree is vital in preparing individuals for leadership positions in educational settings. A key element of the EdD program is the faculty's proficiency in their specific fields of expertise. Assessing the faculty's mastery of subject matter is crucial for guaranteeing the quality of education and offering students a…

Purpose: To understand how lesson study (LS) can promote the development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of prospective primary teachers. More specifically, to know what PCK prospective primary teachers develop during LS and how this development occurs. Design/methodology/approach: Following a qualitative approach, this study took place in…

Despite the growing body of literature on the structural problems of emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, far too little empirical research has been conducted on university academics' challenges in online pedagogy and what is needed to facilitate their teaching during a time of educational crisis. Thus, this study selects a…

Virtual Reality (VR) has gained more importance in the educational sector. A possibility of using VR in education can be Virtual Field Trips (VFTs). This work analyses the possibilities of creating VFTs with different software/tools, output devices, and 360° cameras in the educational sector. The preparatory work, with the recording of own 360°…

The technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) framework was developed incorporating content, pedagogical and technological knowledge. Studies used TPACK constructs and reported on teachers' TPACK and student learning, but none explored the correlation between teachers' TPACK and the achievement of their learners. This research…

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impact of the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model -- Rata, 2019) on the design practice of two music teachers in a middle school music class in New Zealand. The CDC Model proposes that deep learning first requires deep design coherence. This coherence is generated by three interrelated design…

Virtual reality (VR) is developing in line with the establishment of the learning metaverse, although the relationship between its acceptance and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is very unclear. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of facility condition (FC), technological acceptance model (TAM), and TPACK on…
