This study contributes to the literature on community teachers and homegrown educators by examining the motivations and benefits unique…

Effective teaching is the most vital in-school factor that influences student achievement. Many factors influence the teaching readiness, especially of pre-service teachers (PSTs) who have less experience. With the challenges in the education system and the rapid changes in the teaching and learning landscapes, it is imperative to have a glimpse…

Despite ongoing efforts to promote widening participation (WP) in higher education (HE), significant disparities persist in students' access to and success in HE. Students from various intersecting groups remain underrepresented, less likely to complete HE studies, and less likely to achieve high grades compared with peers from groups such as…

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the attitudes and impressions of pre-service Further Education teachers towards enterprise education. It also looks at the potential impact on their future teaching practices and aspirations. This study builds on the literature in this area by bringing a teacher education focus and by providing…
