Mathematicians teaching at the university level have a deep understanding and appreciation for the mathematics that they teach. However, they rarely receive much formal training in teaching. Thus, university mathematicians must rely on their mathematical understandings and personally developed ideas of teaching to guide their decision-making.…

Teachers in K-12 education are increasingly using technology in their courses. However, teachers may struggle to implement technology effectively in their specific subject areas. Existing research demonstrates that there was a need to better support in-service science teachers' technological content knowledge. Accordingly, the purpose of this…

For pre-service teachers to develop learners' number sense, they need have a broad repertoire of non-standard calculation strategies. In this paper, we present an analysis of selected research literature from 2000 to 2022 on pre-service teachers' mental mathematics published in peer-reviewed journals. The results of this brief review indicate that…

The aim of the study was to understand preservice mathematics teachers' improvement of their knowledge of mathematical modeling and knowledge for teaching modeling postintervention. A total of 57 preservice mathematics teachers voluntarily participated in the study, which lasted for a period of five weeks. Data sources included three separate…

Reading, at its core, is a basic yet critical way to undertake learning and growth. This paper shares a professional learning and development initiative for science educators, which was underpinned by the popularity and premise of the reading group. In moving from simply being a vehicle for targeted discussion, the reading group facilitators…

It is of great importance to examine the level of science teaching self-efficacy (SE), which is related to technological developments in primary school teacher education. It is seen that this subject is not addressed in the context of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) and visual metaphors. The purpose of this research was to…

Shulman (1986) conceptualized pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) at the intersection of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. In this paper, I re-explore the intersection of content--in our case, mathematics--and pedagogy, not in terms of domains of knowledge, but in terms of domains of practice. I conceptualize, describe, and exemplify…

Topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (TSPCK) enables teachers to transform pedagogically difficult content for specific science topics into forms more easily understood by learners. In science teaching, there is evidence pointing to poor learner performance in key chemistry topics such as stoichiometry. This paper reports on the changes in…

Graduate education caters advanced learning opportunities among its clientele, and one of the responsibilities is to ensure that the program contributes significantly to the field. This study explored on the contribution and relevance of the Master of Education major in Mathematics Program in the career of the mathematics educators. It also…

This paper analyses how pre-service teachers approach the notion of the infinite limit of a sequence from two perspectives: Specialized Content Knowledge and Advanced Mathematical Thinking. The aim of this study is to identify the difficulties associated with this notion and to classify them. In order to achieve this, an exploratory qualitative…

The present paper elucidated the issue of foreign language teachers' knowledge base and the influence of teaching experience on their beliefs. A self-report questionnaire was utilised to explore what domains of knowledge language teachers prioritised in planning and delivering instruction, what sources they drew on to gain professional…

Although the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in language learning has increased over the last two decades, there is still little research on the preparation of pre-service teachers as AR content creators. This paper focuses on analyzing the digital competence and attitudes of teacher candidates to integrate AR in the foreign language classroom. For…

Here, we systematically review research on teaching knowledge in the context of undergraduate STEM education, with particular attention to what this research reveals about knowledge that is important for evidence-based teaching. Evidence-based teaching can improve student outcomes in undergraduate STEM education. However, the enactment of…

This document presents a research synthesis for the "Educator Assessment Literacy Professional Learning Screener," a screening tool developed to help state, district, or school leaders select a high-quality assessment literacy professional learning service by evaluating the quality of content and implementation plans. The purpose of this…

Teachers are one of the largest licensed groups in the United States, and nearly all teachers are required to pass a licensure exam before entering classroom practice (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). However, "questions abound as to those exams' quality, design, and purpose: To what extent do they actually assess important professional…
