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. Current science-oriented K-12 teaching frameworks and standards promote a vision of learning and doing science that entails engaging students in…

The distance education process, which was passed with the COVID-19 pandemic, once again demonstrated the importance of teachers' technology knowledge. In this direction, the purpose of this study is to examine the science teachers' knowledge of technology integration into their lessons. In this context, the participants' knowledge of technologies…

Web Pedagogical Content Knowledge (WPACK) is an important competence for pre-service teachers in the educational technology course. However, novice pre-service teachers require the preparation stage to integrate the Web into instruction. The purpose of the study was to develop and to investigate the new instructional model for pre-service teachers…

This article addresses a perceived need for a more comprehensive model of teachers' self-efficacy beliefs, that is, teachers' beliefs about their personal abilities to perform specific tasks related to teaching and learning within specific teaching contexts. It starts with an analysis of current representations, and how they encourage further…

This study aims to investigate and compare mathematics teachers' knowledge of pedagogical content, knowledge of students' understanding and knowledge of instructional strategies, subcomponents of pedagogical content knowledge, student errors in the relationship between perimeter and areas in rectangles, squares, and parallelograms. 10…

This study explored the potential impact of teaching outside of one's field of expertise. This longitudinal cross-case study examined the development of enacted pedagogical content knowledge (ePCK) among a group of in-field and out-of-field (OOF) physical science teachers during their first 3 years of teaching. The components of ePCK investigated…

Contexts, knowledge, and theory matter for faculty development (also known as staff, academic, or educational development) because of the complexity of higher education and therefore of faculty professional development. This paper attempts to unpack this complexity by examining higher education contexts more closely, in particular: academic…

Purpose: This study examined the relationship between pedagogic inference and the epistemological cognition of pre-school teachers. This paper provides and interests a relationship network with the pedagogy of field by delineating. In accordance with the model of this study, naïve and sophisticated epistemic cognition were determined and…

The article reveals the problem of becoming a teacher, training of a teacher with a high intellectual level of self-awareness, capable of conceptual thinking, creative activity and ready for independent management of his own professional activity, which will allow him to interact with the learning environment more effectively, to be an active…

Science teachers play a key role in successfully implementing science education reforms and providing all students with meaningful science learning opportunities. Therefore, what core teaching competencies do science teachers need to have in their practice? This study uses fuzzy Delphi technique and Analytic Hierarchy Process to approach the above…

This study examined the relationship between preservice teachers' Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) scores, the most widely implemented preservice teacher performance assessment in the United States, and the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) levels reflected in their edTPA portfolios. PCK is a specialized form of teacher…
