This is a case study of ABE licensure program participants who completed or are actively completing the program as a part of the professionalization process. Program participants were either pre-service (less than one year teaching experience and/or actively looking for a teaching position) or in-service (more than one year teaching experience and…

This study explores how two instructional coaches enacted modeling and co-teaching cycles with five elementary teachers during mathematics instruction. A content analysis of the coachteacher talk from 11 planning meetings and 23 lessons reveals that the coaches and teachers seldom engaged in mathematical conversations. Instead, they primarily had…

Technology in schools, despite its ability to advance 21st-century learning skills such as critical thinking and collaboration, and its potential to contribute to workforce preparation, largely remains oversold and underused. Among other things, lack of sufficient training and attitudinal barriers prevent teachers from utilizing technology…

Although play exemplifies one of the highest forms of experiential learning and can foster creativity and innovation in adults, it is less frequently used explicitly in adult training. This short article explores a play-based approach to enhance teachers' confidence in using play-based pedagogy through a case study on the Continuum of Teacher…

For the continuing development of quality instructional practices, educators must have access to the findings of research and be in a position to explore applications of those findings. We think we may have found such a resource: A 2016 book titled "The ABCs of How We Learn: 26 Scientifically proven approaches, how they work, and when to use…

This study was carried out with the aim to determine the level of sufficiency of the geography teachers' education, which they received during their undergraduate education, in terms of their professional performance in the official secondary education institutions under the Ministry of National Education in Turkey. This study adopted the survey…

The Billion Oyster Project and Curriculum and Community Enterprise for the Restoration of New York Harbor with New York City Public Schools (BOP-CCERS) seeks to integrate harbor restoration activities with science teachers in order to provide their students with experiential learning through environmental impact in New York City with the vision…

In recent years, physical education (PE) pedagogues and researchers have studied, theorized about and provided practical suggestions related to diverse and intersecting identities (e.g. class, [dis]ability, gender, racialized identity, sexual orientation, etc.). Such efforts have had a profound impact upon those who have suffered the consequences…

The study examines the professional development of in-service advanced music teachers as a result of their participation in a three-year collaborative online course. A socio-constructivist theoretical framework was used for designing and implementing the course. Participants were 24 teachers (22 teaching instrumental music and 2 vocal music)…

This paper presents a content analytic approach to research related to in-service science teachers' professional development. The research under consideration was published in four international science education journals and three international conference proceedings specialized in science education from 2012 through 2016. A total of 204 articles…

The purpose of the study was to observe the indicators of science teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) using a video-based research method. The study was conducted with four in-service science teachers who taught at a school that offered tablet-based education in primary and secondary levels. Data sources included…

Objective: To evaluate the impact of three types of social cognitive theory (SCT)-based elementary school classroom physical activity (PA) training on teachers' implementation rates, attitudes, knowledge and behaviour. Design: Key stakeholder focus groups informed development of phase II which took the form of a randomised controlled trial of…

In this article, we discuss our recent and current efforts to offer an innovative form of ongoing teacher education designed explicitly for Internationally Educated Teachers (IETs), which might be considered a type of in-service teacher education. We share some of the observations of IETs who have completed the Faculty of Education's Bridging…

Early childhood teachers' professional learning and development (PLD) is a significant factor in the provision of quality early childhood education (ECE), yet gaining a full picture of PLD in the New Zealand ECE context is problematic. Information about government-funded PLD programmes is available through evaluations, however, teachers access PLD…

This study aims to examine experiences of science teachers in the training process they attended for innovative technology applications. Case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used for study design. 35 science teachers, who work in public schools affiliated to Ministry of National Education in seven regions of Turkey have…
