Background/purpose: This article presents partial results of a document review that constitutes a key input for the doctoral thesis in Didactics of Science entitled "Model of teacher professional development for the inclusive teaching of chemistry in the academic middle school, mediated by artificial intelligence", developed at the…

Involvement in faculty development is a promising approach to realizing academic libraries' goals for information literacy. This study examines an inter-institutional program where librarians partnered with classroom instructors to create projects where students learned to use information in disciplinary ways. Using thematic analysis to examine…

Indigenous faculty are underrepresented in Canadian higher education. Because of this invisibility there is a paucity of research exploring our experiences. The focus of this special edition is on visibilizing Indigenous women faculty. This article describes our experiences with a one-of-a-kind initiative: The Emerging Indigenous Scholars Circle.…

This study utilized role mapping, a reflective exercise where participants visually represent their various professional and personal roles. We conducted role map-elicited interviews with 13 community college faculty to understand how they experienced the year 2020. Using role theory and reflection as theoretical frames, we highlight how role maps…

This groundbreaking guide introduces the Awakening Developing Deepening (ADD) Impact Framework, "a revolutionary approach that challenges the traditional school reform formula" in favor of authentic, community-driven transformation. Drawing from research and real-world experience, the authors argue that transformation emerges not from…

Although global education policies increasingly emphasise the importance of teachers' digital literacy, there is still limited understanding of how to effectively enhance their digital competencies, particularly within organisational contexts. This study analyses a sample of teachers from PISA 2022 (N = 68,054) using hierarchical linear regression…

This paper is focused on the collaborative work of two communities, one of teachers and one of researchers, during a teacher professional development program on the inquiry-based learning approach in mathematics, addressed to lower secondary school in-service mathematics teachers. We conceptualize the design of inquiry mathematics task as the…

Background: Schools are responsible for supporting student growth. Various factors impact how students develop at school (Visscher, 2017), but the teacher is most proximal to students. Teachers' decisions inform students' opportunity to learn, engagement, and achievement (Backes et al., 2024; Bergold & Steinmayr, 2023; Chetty et al., 2011; Nye…

Promoting computational thinking (CT) integration in curricula requires well-prepared teachers with pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Existing research often uses pretest/posttest instruments or teacher reflections to assess outcomes of professional development programs (PDP). Still, this approach is limited and can be misaligned with other…

Many teachers across the United States are leaving their posts preretirement. While some teachers leave for personal reasons, there has been an increase in teacher turnover for school-based factors. One way administrators can support their faculty is through professional development opportunities. This study aimed to investigate whether there was…

This study examined the mediating role of teachers' professional development activities in the relationship between instructional leadership and collective teacher efficacy. Using a convenience sampling approach, the sample comprised 251 primary, secondary, and high school teachers during the 2022-2023 academic year in Türkiye. The results showed…

Many countries have looked at schools as spaces that can impart requisite skills for future jobs through competency-based education (CBE). Yet, there is limited comparative research evidence showing countries' implementation progress. The research design adopted for this study is a meta-narrative. Stufflebeam's (2000) context, input, process and…

The complexity of mathematics teaching is especially evident in lessons where teachers build on students' genuine ideas, such as problem-based lessons. To enhance teachers' capacity for rich discussions in problem-based instruction, we have developed a unique approximation of practice: digital asynchronous simulations where teachers make…

In professional development (PD), who the learners are becomes a central feature that influences not only their learning, but also that of those around them. Participant identities, expectations, and teaching philosophies all influence the success of PD. In 2019, Zagallo and colleagues developed a set of personas to characterize how instructors…

This study used a concurrent triangulation mixed design to determine how customized teacher training builds science teachers' science capital and agency. The training focused on cultural and linguistic diversity (CLD) and was implemented in two phases (plenary and mentoring). We employed several measures, such as daily reflections, self-rating…
