Classroom walkthroughs are the consistent and systematic observation of instruction in the classroom, and despite research indicating classroom walkthroughs drive student achievement and promote learning, high school principals fail to implement effective classroom walkthroughs on a consistent basis, resulting in teachers not receiving enough…

State and local education agencies across the country are prioritizing the goal of diversifying the teacher workforce. To further understand the challenges of diversifying the teacher pipeline, I investigate race and gender dynamics between teachers and school-based administrators, who are key decision makers in hiring, evaluating, and retaining…

This qualitative study examined teachers' perceptions of collaboration in a northeastern US state within the context of high-stakes teacher evaluation. Teachers were asked about collaboration via an open-ended prompt (n = 1336). Data were evaluated through the professional capital framework. Themes included: pockets of collaboration, inclusion…

Education policy research has seen a growing interest in the consequences of teacher trade unionism of global education reform. Less attention has been paid to teacher unions as strategic social actors attempting to influence both national education policy and employment relations at the school level. Addressing this topic, the article examines…

As part of a longitudinal research project on the transition from physical education teacher education (PETE) to school physical education (PE) in Sweden and exploring whether and how PETE matters, this article uses narrative inquiry to 'represent' a PE teacher's professional journey from PETE to the induction phase of PE teaching. The study…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare and shows considerable promise for the delivery of medical education. This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis of the global situation, effects, and challenges associated with applying AI at the different stages of medical education.

This paper reports on a systematic literature review to understand better methodologies and data collection tools used to judge student teaching effectiveness, ways in which validity and reliability are considered, the processes involved in assessing new teaching effectiveness within teacher education programmes, and how evaluation and results are…

This conceptual paper discusses 'unseen observation' as an alternative model of classroom observation to support teachers' professional learning.

We evaluate the predictive validity of the Massachusetts Candidate Assessment of Performance (CAP), a practice-based assessment of teaching skills that is now a requirement for teacher preparation program completion in Massachusetts. We find that candidates' performance on the CAP significantly predicts their in-service summative performance…

Teachers get demotivated, reduce their performance, and quit the profession because they lack support to sustain them. The problem was a lack of mentoring to increase teacher retention in an international educational system in China.

The college mathematics teaching quality evaluation is the multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). Currently, the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) and MABAC was executed to put forward MAGDM. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are executed for portraying fuzzy data during the college mathematics teaching quality…
