The present paper elucidated the issue of foreign language teachers' knowledge base and the influence of teaching experience on their beliefs. A self-report questionnaire was utilised to explore what domains of knowledge language teachers prioritised in planning and delivering instruction, what sources they drew on to gain professional…

Although the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in language learning has increased over the last two decades, there is still little research on the preparation of pre-service teachers as AR content creators. This paper focuses on analyzing the digital competence and attitudes of teacher candidates to integrate AR in the foreign language classroom. For…

Here, we systematically review research on teaching knowledge in the context of undergraduate STEM education, with particular attention to what this research reveals about knowledge that is important for evidence-based teaching. Evidence-based teaching can improve student outcomes in undergraduate STEM education. However, the enactment of…

This document presents a research synthesis for the "Educator Assessment Literacy Professional Learning Screener," a screening tool developed to help state, district, or school leaders select a high-quality assessment literacy professional learning service by evaluating the quality of content and implementation plans. The purpose of this…

Teachers are one of the largest licensed groups in the United States, and nearly all teachers are required to pass a licensure exam before entering classroom practice (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). However, "questions abound as to those exams' quality, design, and purpose: To what extent do they actually assess important professional…

The problem addressed in this study was the limited understanding of urban secondary teachers' specific skills, strategies, and methodologies for digital technology used in a digital learning environment surrounding technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge (TPACK).

In this paper, we focus on the design of assessments of mathematics teachers' knowledge by emphasising the importance of identifying the purpose for the assessment, defining the specific construct to be measured, and considering the affordances of particular psychometric models on the development of assessments as well as how they are able to…

This text aims to present new research perspectives on teacher training. In particular, it is dedicated to analyzing the training of teachers who teach mathematics from a historical perspective. To this end, it uses the concepts of mathematics to teach and mathematics for teaching, indicating research results, characterizing the professional…

Currently, studies focusing on mathematics education pay more attention to the study of the lecturer's knowledge, aiming to understand this knowledge, its development, and how it is reflected in the practice of teaching. Following this line of research, the present study is based in the "Mathematics Teacher's Specialized Knowledge…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a recently developed semiordered model can be used to explore the functioning of neutral response options in rating scale data. Huggins-Manley, Algina, and Zhou developed a class of unidimensional models for semiordered data within scale items (i.e., items with both ordered response categories and…

In today's increasingly linguistically diverse classrooms, all science teachers require expertise in supporting students' language development simultaneous to content-based classroom instruction.
