In this paper, we investigate the links between prospective elementary teachers' (PTs') ability to notice student mathematical thinking, their mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) and their ability to decompose learning goals into component conceptual parts (Morris et al., 2009). Previously, researchers have proposed theoretical connections…

The inclusion of students with disabilities is one of the challenges facing developing countries, especially in the Arab World.

Real-world mathematical problem (RWMP) solving and posing are important aspects of teaching and learning mathematical modelling, as well as developing a mathematization disposition for both teachers and students. Several researchers have explored blockages or difficulties in such modelling processes and in problem posing. However, prior research…

The interplay between teacher knowledge and pedagogical practices in diverse classroom contexts is situated in teachers' identities as theorizers, interpreters, and critics of their own practice. Understanding how professional learning is mediated in this context is critical to both the construction of new knowledge and the application of…

This research study investigates how elementary teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) relates to their mathematical self-efficacy (MSE) and whether the MKT can predict the MSE. Researchers administered the MSE scale and the MKT test to 86 in-service elementary mathematics teachers. Two-step regression analyses results indicated that…

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This revolutionary technology holds immense potential in multiple domains, including the development of educational curricula. This article has explored the impact of AI on curriculum…

Research has revealed that student teachers benefit from teaching practicum programs. The programs present the student teachers with myriad opportunities to negotiate and deconstruct their personal and practical knowledge with the help of teacher mentors and supervising faculty members. This study reports on a case study that examines the…

The interest to connect results of neuroscientific research to educational contexts has increasingly grown in recent years. Actors from neuroscience and education show the explicit intention to approach each other. Still, issues and debates exist in the relation between them. This paper aims to bring to the fore one such specific issue that is not…

A central aim of university teaching is to transform students' conceptual understanding of disciplinary knowledge. In order to achieve this, lecturers make decisions on subject matter and teaching approaches. However, there seems to be little attention for the role of subject matter pedagogy in university teaching. This study aims to explore a…

Teacher knowledge building (TKB) is indispensable for teachers' continuing professional development (PD). However, studies on how teacher knowledge is built and how to facilitate this process are scarce. In this study, we critically reviewed the existing literature on TKB since 2016, focusing mainly on in-service teachers working in K-12 school…

The primary aim of Vietnam's new educational program is to enhance students' knowledge and skills through practical learning experiences, enabling them to tackle academic and real-world challenges. However, teachers in Dong Thap province face limitations in their professional competencies. Thus, this study aims to address these issues by examining…
