The purpose of this study is to analyze the mathematics identity of a primary school teacher who has negative mathematics experiences. His mathematics identity was separated into five periods (primary school, secondary school, high school, university, and math teaching) and examined afterwards. Narrative research was used because his mathematics…

In this study, Swedish STEM-teacher students' experiences of STEM-actors are explored. 85 teacher students have visited each, of a total of 21 different STEM-actors (science centres, museums, maker spaces, code clubs etc.) who all offer school classes STEM-activities but also in-service teacher education. The teacher students were given the task…

Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow, and Gammy are hosts of the internationally renowned "Red Table Talk," where family members and A-List celebrities join the Facebook Live streamed conversation about personal and controversial issues. This proposed activity builds upon black feminist thought and utilizes the format of the "Red Table…

As librarians consider ways to engage students in research, particularly those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), it's increasingly apparent that the transactional nature of the one-shot instructional model is inadequate for fostering thoughtful and critical discussions about information literacy and the scholarly…

This paper introduces an innovative clinical support and supervision project that has its origins in the concern for how senior school leaders are increasingly being expected to manage the escalating demand to care for pupils, families and often the wider community. In response to these pressures we offer a three-stage professional learning model…

Recently, simulation-based learning (SBL) has become an inseparable part of teacher-education. This case study examined the learning processes that preservice teachers experienced while participating in SBL. The main goal of the study was to identify the aspects of peer learning inherent to SBL that are beneficial for the teacher-education…

Two teacher educators and two preservice teachers reflect on a culminating creative reflection activity with suggestions for adapting the practice in future teacher education classrooms and implications of the benefits of group reflection practices, particularly in times of crisis. We noted how reflection can help students craft an ideal future…

Schools have long played a significant role in teaching students the values of gender respect and equity. These values have been embedded in education policy and practice in contexts such as Australia for decades. In the current #MeToo moment, there has been renewed emphasis on gender transformative teaching in schools. This work, however, is…

This study examined the practices of a mathematics coach by analyzing coaching moves over multiple coaching cycles with two teachers. The coach, guided initially by a content-focused model of coaching (West & Staub, 2013), engaged teachers in cycles that consisted of co-planning, teaching, and debriefing conversations to help teachers reflect…

Altobelli and Lambert reflect on recent attacks on the LBGTQ+ community and the tendency to assume representing this community in a school library collection isn't necessary. They ask readers to consider, what about learners whose identities a school librarian may or may not know. They offer both LGBTQ+ term definitions as well as collection and…

The purpose of this study is to understand the experience of mothers who lost a child to suicide, and how they have learned to cope with their devastating loss. The study is grounded in transformative learning (TL) theory; the study design combined narrative inquiry and the first author's autoethnographic experience. Data collection consisted of…

What do cows drink? The correct answer is water, but many are tempted to say milk. The disposition to override an intuitive response (milk) with a more analytic response (water) is known as "cognitive reflection." Tests of cognitive reflection predict a wide range of skills and abilities in adults. In this article, we discuss the…

This article makes a case for SoTL practitioners to engage in what we term a pedagogy of slow. Here, "slow" connotes with waiting and patience. It takes time to learn and acquire the skills that a SoTL scholar needs. "Doing SoTL" we therefore argue, requires a pedagogy that takes time and sees time as an ally instead of as an…

The most obvious feature of expertise in chemistry is content knowledge, which defines the primary objectives of instruction. Research in chemistry education, and STEM education more broadly, has also devoted attention to students' developing scientific practices of reasoning, investigation, and learning. In this study, we set out to investigate…
