The objective of this research is to assess whether the distance education experiences of pre-service teachers currently undergoing higher education differ according to specific variables. These variables relate to the distance education processes instituted following the COVID-19 pandemic and the earthquakes that took place in Maras and Elbistan…

Wikipedia has been viewed as a dubious resource within higher education, and students are often encouraged to avoid its use due to the questionable rigour of its entries. In this study the tables were turned when Wikipedia became the central element in an assessment task. The task experimented with a new approach to summative assessment within a…

The present study has been developed in order to inquire the cognitive awareness of the 2nd grade-level students of the Science Teaching program on "sensors", which has an important place in the development of the robotic and automation systems. In the study, the method of case study, which is one of the qualitative research motifs, was…

The scope and versatile nature of engineering and technology education as a discipline provide a platform for the integration of computational thinking (CT) into STEM education, accomplishing the goal of bringing not only computer science principles into the K-12 education but also the fundamentals of machine learning (ML) and artificial…

The COVID-19 pandemic forced educators across the world to quickly move their instruction to a virtual or hybrid environment. Teachers experienced a wide variety of adverse situations stemming from teaching online, and their experiences depended upon their technology training as well as their access to technology resources. The problem addressed…

In this study, I explore the impact of misandry and racism on the career experiences of Black male K12 educators in a doctor of education (EDD) program. Misandry is a concept that is defined as dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men i.e. the male sex. (Nathanson, 2006). This concept is a direct parallel to misogyny. While…

Recent publications argue that to prepare teachers of all grade levels to be confident and competent in incorporating environmental education into their classrooms, pre-service teacher training is effective (e.g., J. T. McDonald & Dominguez, 2010). But the systems in which teachers learn and work are complex, making professional learning…

English Language Learners (ELLs) are one of the fastest growing student populations in the United States. However, teachers, including school-based agricultural education (SBAE) teachers, report being underprepared to teach ELLs. Skills needed to teach ELLs were identified and categorized using Coady et al.'s model for preparing effective teachers…

For years, educators have championed numerous strategies for supporting marginalized students in U.S. schools. Recently, researchers have identified racial matching--ensuring teachers of color work with students of similar racial backgrounds--to improve students' achievement. However, calls to increase teacher diversity emphasize benefits to…

Productively integrating technology is a vitally important part of teachers' practice (Barlow, 2021; Bezuk et al., 2017; NCTM, 2018). To adequately prepare Prospective Mathematics Teachers (PMTs) for the demands of teaching professionally, we need to understand more about how teachers and PMTs learn to integrate technology into their classroom.…

Global attention continues to focus on the quality of teaching, teacher quality, teacher education programs and the preparation of graduates who are ready to teach. This self-study research focuses on one aspect of the preparation and assessment of graduates for teaching: the marking and moderation of a Teaching Assessment Performance (TPA), a…

In the study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between science fiction self-efficacy and spatial ability of science teacher candidates. The study is quantitative research and correlation research was used as a research design. The study group consisting of 200 science teacher candidates was formed by using the convenience sampling method.…

The Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) aims to foster learning productively under optimal cognitive loads. Students across all ages and stages of learning have limited capacity due to the human brain's functionality. Therefore, an effective learning design allows for knowledge acquisition that will minimize the loading effect on the working memory and…

This study focuses on the personal experiences and contexts that influenced the racial awareness of three White bilingual teachers. Using Bourdieu's theories of habitus and field and discourse analysis as a framework, this study sought to understand: (1) how and which contexts contributed to a White teacher's understanding of racial constructs…

Preschoolers receive inadequate science instruction despite preschool science benefits and adopting early learning science standards in New Jersey. This qualitative exploratory case study explored 17 preschool teachers of 4-year-old students' perceptions of using the New Jersey Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards for science and how they…
