This study explored elementary teachers' (N = 26) development as novice Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs). They worked in 21 urban-situated schools in the United States that served historically marginalised students. Professional learning experiences aimed to prepare them as effective and equitable mathematics teachers and teacher leaders…

Paraeducators provide essential academic support for young learners of mathematics. However, they have limited opportunities to engage in professional development (PD) that is responsive to their instructional needs and role. To scaffold paraeducators' growth, project staff designed, tested, and refined a PD model specifically for K-3…

In this paper, we theorise our practice as teacher educators to understand a practice issue: the challenge our students had in developing pedagogical reasoning. The article discusses the findings of the theorising process to explore how pedagogical reasoning is developed and why it is challenging. It also provides an approach for theorising and…

Pathway to innovation can be shaped more effectively if teachers are provided with the necessary knowledge and skills. Encouraging teachers to develop a growth mindset is also crucial in helping them become pioneers of change. This study aims to investigate how online information and communication technologies training affects the Technological…

Background/purpose: This research examines the relationship between the reflective practices teachers adopt while engaging in their ESP teaching experiences and their impact on their course-related actions and decisions. Materials/methods: A single case study approach was adopted in the current study, in which the reflections of one ESP teacher…

This mixed-methods study presents an Asian perspective on the impact of a science video creation workshop as an intervention on the technology adoption and utilization of pre-service science teachers. It aims to offer insights relevant to Initial Teacher Education programs in international contexts, including those in Europe and North America,…

Student mental health in the United Kingdom (UK) remains as key priority on the agenda of many Higher Education (HE) institutions. Current mandatory education in the UK provides guidance around supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, acknowledging that much of the origins of psychological distress and mental…

This study examined the teacher-child interactions during shared book reading (SBR) in the domain of early mathematics. We investigated preschool teachers' and children's talk in terms of (1) communicative acts, mathematical focus, and level of abstraction (literal versus inferential), (2) the sequential relation between teacher's talk and…

This study investigates the beliefs and practices of secondary school mathematics teachers in Malta regarding the potential of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly through tools like ChatGPT, in teaching, using the TPACK framework. Through a case study methodology involving pre- and post-professional development (PD) session…

While there has been a growing interest in teachers' empathy within TESOL, the various dimensions of empathy remain less explored compared to other fields such as anthropology, medicine, and psychology. Guided by the theoretical framing of "teacher knowledge" (TK), this paper reports on one key theme from a doctoral study concerning how…

This book is a concise and practical guide to the development of professional knowledge in primary physical education. Covering core concepts and key skills and exploring the everyday reality of working in primary physical education (PE), the book describes the essential professional knowledge needed to become an effective PE teacher at the…

With increasing emphasis on post-secondary readiness in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science, educators in Career and Technical Education face significant challenges, including declining enrollment and the integration of updated curricula. This study aimed to address these issues within agricultural education by piloting a new…

This study provides insight into teacher technology knowledge and implementation in K-12 classrooms, addressing a gap in quantitative research of in-service teachers' practices aligned with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Educators. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and Teacher…

The success of efforts to integrate generative AI (GenAI) into classrooms depends heavily on teachers' willingness to integrate the relevant technologies. However, few studies have examined the effect of perceived psychological needs satisfaction on teachers' willingness to integrate GenAI (WIAI). This study investigated the effect of perceived…

Teachers use a Learning Module to create their learning designs, emphasizing the activities they select with knowledge-based processes. This paper aims to develop a TPACK-based teacher's module that provides detailed instruction in the planning for the teaching-learning process, giving more focus on the teacher's ability to maneuver, navigate, and…
