Convincing teacher educators of the need to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their classrooms has become a less arduous task in the post-pandemic era since educational institutions were forced to shift to emergency remote delivery in early 2020. As a result, it has become very significant that pre-service teachers are…

With the closure of educational institutions during COVID-19, some leadership and management teams resorted to technology for online teaching. However, for the teaching practicum (TP) module, the move to online required specially designed interventions, resulting in a variety of different TP COVID-19 configurations. Fortuitously, at the outbreak…

Language teacher immunity, as a new notion in language teacher psychology, is a strong indicator of how teachers behave when dealing with difficulties and challenges; and it has a profound effect on teachers' careers. Research on language teacher immunity is in its nascent stage. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design…

This paper sought to explore the Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching and the algebra difficulties of In-field and Out-of-field Junior High School mathematics teachers using the expanded KAT framework. The study employed the descriptive survey design and involved the participation of 374 mathematics teachers using an achievement test instrument. The…

The problem of enactment describes a teacher's inability to translate effective theories of teaching into practice. This is common for student-teachers, and invariably results in instructional practices that are ineffective and inconsistent with their beliefs. The motivation for this study was based on the observation that student-teachers move…

This paper focuses on the Southern African Association for Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education's (SAARMSTE's) role as a platform supporting research dissemination and connecting researchers in early grades mathematics (EGM) in the Southern African region. A review of the Long Papers in SAARMSTE over the last 20 years supports…

Little is known about how preservice teachers learn the technological pedagogy and digital skills expected for graduate teaching. This article examines how digital technologies are incorporated into Initial Teacher Education in Victoria, Australia, specifically the Bachelor of Education, and identifies development opportunities for Technological…

The last two decades have seen the growing adoption of mobile devices to enhance the quality of teachers' continuous professional development (TCPD) in low-income countries. Using mobile devices, typically not designed for educational use, presents new usability challenges, preventing teachers from effectively accessing learning materials in…

In-service teachers' professional development regarding technology adoption in education is often focused on only one specific technology. To maximize the utilization of technologies, teachers need to be able to leverage different technologies seamlessly. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is one of the most important frameworks…

Computer simulations hold great potential for enhancing chemistry instruction. However, effectively integrating simulations in instruction depends in part on teachers' pedagogical reasoning about simulation affordances and instructional decisions within specific classroom contexts. The objective of this study was to investigate how two chemistry…

This action research study identified the effects of learner-centered professional development (PD) and continuous support of effective teaching practices during professional learning communities (PLCs). This study focused on four specific areas--(1) building the teacher's content knowledge through PD, (2) providing support for the implementation…

As the demand for integrating educational technologies within the mathematics teaching curriculum increases, there is a growing need for teachers to develop the competencies and skills required for effective technology integration into their teaching practices. Massive Open Online Courses for Educators (MOOC-Eds) offer teachers opportunities for…

These national research snapshots aim to understand how evidence is used by educators, teachers and service leaders in early childhood education and care (ECEC) services in Australia. This research found that ECEC educators, teachers and leaders primarily rely on practitioner-generated evidence rather than research evidence to inform their…

This paper explores the optimization of teacher education programs to meet the evolving demands of 21st-century classrooms. It examines key strategies to enhance teacher preparation, such as the integration of technology, fostering critical thinking, promoting inclusivity, and preparing educators to address global challenges. The paper also…

Research Findings: The aim of this study was to investigate U.S. preschool teachers' math pedagogical content knowledge in number comparison. Seventy-four in- and pre-service teachers completed a set of scenario-based questions from a researcher-designed questionnaire that is composed of learning scenarios. Through a mixed-method approach, the…
