There is a need to investigate the diagnostic utility of autism diagnostic questionnaires in school-age children, who are increasingly being referred for autism assessment. Aside from the standardization sample, little research has been conducted on the Autism Spectrum Rating Scales, particularly regarding teacher reports. This study investigated…

Teacher questioning is crucial for fostering critical thinking in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Understanding how teachers use critical thinking questions is essential for researchers and practitioners seeking to enhance students' critical thinking skills. This study draws on the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Model and the…

The purpose of this case study is to investigate the triggers of unexpected (contingent) moments during one in-service primary teacher's teaching of the measurement of length and perimeter, to identify this teacher's responses to these moments, and to examine how these responses change the flow of the measurement of length and perimeter…

What do ethical relations look like in the context of the many injustices that pervade mathematics education? In this paper, I argue, first, that violence is the relation that characterizes much of contemporary mathematics education and, second, that understanding ethical relations requires considering mathematics as an equal actor in creating…

This article is a contribution to understanding teacher identity related to working with students' psychosocial environment (PSE). A systematic review of quantitative studies (n = 10) analyzing the relations between components of teacher identity and teachers' work with the PSE is presented. Findings indicate significant relations between the…

Türkiye hosts a diversity of numerous cultural groups regarding its location and social structure. The inclusion of these culturally diverse groups in the education system makes it necessary to evaluate teachers' perspectives and experiences on differences.

Robotics education is valuable for developing students' 21st century competencies. It is of significant importance for teachers and researchers to explore its effective pedagogies. Robotics learning is interdisciplinary, and the most effective pedagogy is problem-oriented instruction. This type of instruction requires students to independently…

This paper employs Mikhail Bakhtin for a dialogic reading of dialectics, conceptualising how early childhood education (ECE) teachers' political dialogues are opened up and closed down. Explorations of 'political dialogue', or "how" teachers respond to issues they deem of political concern, is pertinent for teaching's inherently…

We introduce a novel type of assessment that allows for efficient grading of higher order thinking skills. In this assessment, a student reviews and corrects a technical memo that has errors in its formulation or process. To overcome the grading challenges imposed by essay-type responses in large undergraduate courses, we provide a Visual Basic…

Standalone programs are those that have a single teacher who is responsible for all classes within the program. This qualitative case study was intended to explore the perceptions and reactions of teachers of standalone programs on self-selected online professional development. In this study, andragogy, the study of adult learning, provided the…

This qualitative study aims to learn about the experiences of first year teachers as they rapidly transitioned to remote teaching during the global COVID-19 crisis in March 2020. Additionally, the murder of George Floyd shortly thereafter exacerbated racial turmoil, impacting communities, students and families simultaneously. As the shift was…

There has been little scholarship about the use of instructional practices in undergraduate environmental service-learning courses. In this study, we examined the implementation of high leverage practices (HLPs) in environmental service-learning courses (i.e. E-Corps). These HLPs included: eliciting initial ideas, informing approaches to problems,…

Student behaviour is a perennial concern for educators, parents, and policy-makers alike. The present study involved an ecological analysis of teacher perceptions of, and responses to, student unproductive behaviour in primary school classrooms in the Republic of Ireland. Online survey data from 1035 primary school teachers revealed that the most…

This study investigated the relationship between students' intrinsic learning motivation and mind wandering as well as the moderating role of teachers' emotional display and emotional labor strategies in class, drawing upon the attention-based view. With a sample of 1098 undergraduates, 159 teachers and 10 research assistants from a university in…

Can teachers' inflated praise make children from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds seem less smart? We conducted two preregistered experiments to address this question. We used hypothetical scenarios to ensure experimental control. An experiment with primary school teachers (N = 106, ages 21-63) showed that when a child from a low-SES…
