Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are having a significant impact on the field of education, particularly when used by educators. This study aims to explore the acceptance of AI tools among university-level educators. Researchers adapted the UTAUT2 (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model to the Chinese educational context and…

Building upon self-determination theory and the circumplex approach, the objective of this study was to adapt the Situations-in-School-Physical Education (SIS-PE) questionnaire and to gather validity and reliability evidence in the Spanish PE context. Three samples of 1441 students (46.43% girls), 473 in-service teachers (35.73% women), and 654…

Teacher quality has attracted much attention both conceptually and empirically, especially in tackling some global challenges. Initial teacher education (ITE) has historically been one of the key actors in developing teacher quality and one of the foci in research. The article contributes to these debates by comparing two ITE programmes, from…

To assess allocation of attention by music teachers with different levels of experience and expertise, we recruited five participant flautists: an artist teacher, two graduate students, and two undergraduates, all of whom observed nine brief video recordings of flute, clarinet, and saxophone players; a juggler; a baseball batter; and a ballerina.…

The teacher's gaze attention can trigger interaction with the student. So if the teacher fails to equal attention during class, students may be alienated from the interaction. According to this perspective, this study aimed to establish the pattern of the teacher's gaze during science lecture classes and whether the change of the gaze when the…

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of instruction differentiation in preventive classroom management strategies on preservice teachers' selected behaviors. Results indicated no significant main effect for treatment condition, and significant main effects for lesson type and microteaching session. Findings indicated that…
