Purpose: Challenges in teaching the engineering design process (EDP) at the high-school level, such as promoting good documentation practices, are well-documented. While developments in educational artificial intelligence (AI) systems have the potential to assist in addressing these challenges, the open-ended nature of the EDP leads to challenges…

Microteaching--an innovative teaching method in which students deliver a mini-lesson to a small group of peers within a limited timeframe to develop specific teaching skills and refine pedagogical behaviors--has been implemented in teacher education and training for half a century. This qualitative study explored the views of 10 graduate students…

Teaching is a challenging profession at any career stage and in any subject but perhaps especially so for beginning science teachers who step into full responsibility for core and background instructional roles inside and outside the classroom. Traditional professional development has often been inadequate and further complicated by competing…

Play-based teaching and learning approaches are recognised as enabling teachers to interact with children and support learning in a relaxed environment to promote children's holistic development. Recent studies increasingly emphasise that teachers' engagement can promote children's opportunities to learn through play. This article presents results…

This study examines the impact of a professional learning (PL) project on secondary mathematics teachers' professional growth in their knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices. Initially attributing teaching challenges to external constraints, some teachers gradually recognised the need for pedagogical development through reflection and…

Objective: This study investigated the impact of an online postural education programme on primary school teachers' knowledge regarding back care and low back pain (LBP) prevention. Design: This investigation was nested within a randomised controlled trial. Setting: A total of 61 teachers participated, divided into an experimental group (n = 32)…

How might invoking queer joy praxis address antiqueer, Islamophobic, and settler colonial carceral logics in sexuality education classrooms? In this paper, we delve into the rise of queerphobic and transphobic policies and rhetoric, alongside growing homonationalist and Islamophobic discourses in New Brunswick, Canada. Using data emerging from…

This study is a systematic review of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) studies concerning primary mathematics education published between 2005 and 2022. The aim of the systematic review was to identify the common features of previous TPACK research on primary mathematics education and identify the research gaps based on their…

This study aims to examine the attitudes and readiness of Omani pre-service teachers toward implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. The research employed the integrated technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore how these future educators perceive and prepare for AI integration. Using a mixed-methods approach that combined…

Purpose: This paper investigates the integration of generative AI into lesson study using the TEAM Model platform to enhance teacher professional development. It explores how AI supports the study, plan, teach and reflect phases by improving efficiency, fostering collaboration and enriching reflective practices. Design/methodology/approach: This…

This essay intends to reflect on recent research regarding mathematics teacher expertise from a cultural perspective. First, the essay conceptualises and describes the characteristics of mathematics teacher expertise in East Asia. The expertise of mathematics teachers in the East Asian context is holistically characterised as emphasising deep…

While rigor is often used as a term in educational practice, its meaning can be elusive, making it difficult to apply to professional learning for educators. Russell Carlock seeks to define the concept of rigor as it pertains to theoretical frameworks that have been connected to improvement in student learning outcomes and to provide educators…

This national descriptive study examined the barriers to Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) implementation and the professional development needs of middle school School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) teachers. Using Dillman's Tailored Design Method, an online survey was distributed via the NAAE listserv and completed by 381 teachers…

This descriptive qualitative study explored the perceptions of central office administrators supporting teacher professional learning since the COVID-19 pandemic.
