This study investigates the integration of makerspaces in early childhood education. It emphasizes the impact of play-based learning on children's cognitive development and attitudes towards learning. Quality early childhood learning encourages positive attitudes toward learning and school, fostering strength, confidence, and resilience. The study…

Several studies are examining the problem of mathematics learning devices, but few have specifically explored the devices that are incorporated with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Therefore, this study aims to descriptively explore the incorporation of TPACK in mathematics learning devices. An exploratory descriptive method…

The persistent digital divide in the Philippine education sector poses significant challenges for both teachers and learners, particularly in the non-formal pathway of education called the Alternative Learning System (ALS). Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this study explored how the contexts of ALS teachers…

Teaching has a complex feature being both a cognitive activity as well as a social behavior; thus, it is highly crucial to monitor how teachers develop and govern their habits and behavioral tendencies in the classroom. Teachers' mental government has been the focus of educational research for a long time, because it is known to drive their…

Research relating to the development of computational thinking (CT) at primary school level is still in its infancy despite indications that it is most effective when introduced in primary/early secondary education. Teachers are pivotal to ensuring children develop CT, so it is essential they are effectively prepared, starting at preservice level,…

Proportional reasoning is foundational in school mathematics. Despite the importance of proportional reasoning, little has been written about the knowledge needed for teachers to teach proportional reasoning relative to its importance. In this paper, we present an initial definition for a robust understanding of proportional reasoning for teaching…

This paper aims to analyze the scientific trend of research on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) through bibliometric study and explore how the contribution of Indonesian researchers in the Scopus database from 2015 to 2019. The sample was composed of 2075 documents in total. The results revealed that scientific publication on…

The role of domain-specific content knowledge is discussed controversially for the early childhood context. Therefore, this review aims at untangling the research on domain-specific content knowledge for early childhood educators by systematically reviewing the conceptual and operational definition of and results on early childhood educators'…

Preservice mathematics teachers are subject to multiple influences when they make in-the-moment instructional decisions in classroom settings. Little is known about which influences make a significant contribution to decisions regarding the mathematical content knowledge (MCK) that preservice teachers decide to enact. The process by which…

Purpose: With this article we aim to provide insight into how citizenship education receives attention in the formulated national curricula for teacher education in the Netherlands and to what extent the different domains of citizenship and the different tasks of teachers with regard to citizenship education are addressed. Method: For this study…

Contemporary views on physics education in high schools promote the need for students to develop their conceptual understanding about physics phenomena. However, teaching in this way requires specialized professional knowledge and for pre-service physics teachers, such knowledge needs to be scaffolded and developed. A strategy to support this…

Students with disabilities and/or those who have difficulty learning mathematical concepts can be found in almost every classroom. Over the last several decades, the responsibilities and roles of general and special education educators have shifted, blurring the conventionally held boundaries between special education and general education…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how the Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI) supported Advanced Placement (AP) teacher's instructional needs considering the expansion of the AP program in recent decades. Design/methodology/approach: A survey including Likert-style and open-ended questions was distributed to participants at…

Preparing students with knowledge and expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is vital in meeting the demand for digital age career opportunities. Nevertheless, there is sparse research on teachers' views of student preparedness and teachers' knowledge of STEM in classroom instruction. The present study examines…

This study examined pre-service primary teachers' (PPTs) initial NOSI conceptions and their evolution after the immersion in a specific teaching module focused on inquiry and NOSI. The participants were 40 PPTs attending a science education course during a semester. The study consisted of a pre-test/post-test design approach framed qualitative…
