The study explored the influence of technology on science teachers' PCK and the benefits of that knowledge component on classroom practices. The study relied on science teachers teaching the various science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science and Physics in Tamale Metropolis, Ghana. Sequential explanatory research design was…

Teachers' participation in diverse professional development initiatives is crucial for personal and professional advancement. This study focused on exploring the perspectives of public-school teachers in their pursuit of professional development. A case study was conducted through purposive sampling, utilizing a semi-structured interview to gather…

This study explored eight middle school teachers' language about literacy implementation in their disciplinary classrooms. Interview data and supplemental artifact data were gathered from two previous studies focused on disciplinary literacy in middle school settings. This critical discourse analysis examined how teachers' language elucidated…

This paper examines professional growth of a STEM teacher from the entrepreneurial frame. Using a personal narrative together with a STEM/science lesson package developed by the participant teacher, we unpack a teacher's professional growth by interpreting her beliefs and actions using characteristics of entrepreneurial thinking. Our analysis and…

There is a growing body of research arguing that, alongside education in climate science literacy, our education systems need a deeper, broader, and more interdisciplinary education in climate literacy. Specifically, the push is to reframe climate literacy from a narrow competence taught in science classes to a broad socioscientific and cultural…

Research studies focusing on schools and teachers' capabilities to teach and develop students' health literacy (HL) are few. Of the research that currently exists, teachers face difficulties when teaching health education to enhance students' critical HL levels, with only one study examining preservice teachers (PSTs). The aim of this study is to…

A professional development intervention (PDI) was developed for science teachers, focusing on pedagogies to integrate indigenous knowledge (IK) into school curriculum topics. The study aimed to determine which characteristics of science PDIs were imperative to support teacher learning and influence teacher practice for IK integration in science…

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for teaching and learning is widely acknowledged. However, there is limited research focusing on prospective teachers' (PTs) perceptions regarding its usage within specific subject areas, notably biology. This study is intended to explore PTs perceptions of using ICT in biology.…

Educator preparation, personalized learning (PL) implementation, and applications of Generative AI converge as three interrelated systems that, when carefully designed, can help achieve the long-sought goal of providing inclusive education for all learners. However, realizing this potential comes with challenges resulting from theoretical…

Challenge-based learning (CBL) offers a promising approach for integrating education for sustainable development (ESD) in secondary schools. However, despite the growing body of knowledge on the implementation of CBL in higher education, less is known about its implementation in secondary education. This qualitative study investigated how…

This study investigates the challenges to effectively implementing a multimedia-supported flipped classroom approach (MSFCA) for teaching organic chemistry in Rwandan secondary schools. The primary objective was to explore the challenges students face when learning organic chemistry through the MSFCA and the difficulties teachers encounter when…

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the construct validity of a survey focussing on the use of technology and teaching techniques to promote religious moderation, employing exploratory factor analysis (EFA). A total of 116 educators, who teach character development courses, were recruited to participate in the study. The developed…

This study examines the multifaceted aspects of using digital technology in Chinese primary mathematics education through qualitative analysis. Participants included eight primary mathematics teachers and five vice-principals from four primary schools in Chongqing. Through in-depth interviews with these teachers and leaders, the research uncovers…

Physics, even though it is guided by simple principles, tends for many topics to be obscured in the mathematics redundancy. MATLAB®, as interactive software for computer algebra, has already had an important impact on the way physics is taught by educators. It has also had a substantial impact on the way research is performed by students to…

This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI)-supported education in higher education, specifically examining its integration into a digital photography course and its effects on both students and instructors. A qualitative research methodology was employed, and participants were selected through purposive sampling. The study…
