In this article, I examine how teachers can enact 'powerful knowledge' (PK)--a curriculum principle proposed by Michael Young--by linking it with the scholarship of teacher professionalism (TP). Despite the significance of teachers' role in curriculum enactment, effort to understand this topic has been insufficient. I first indicate that…

This paper reports the findings of the university teachers' competencies on content, pedagogical, and technological knowledge based on TPACK model. Infomed by the cross-sectional research design, this research applied structural equation modeling and machine learning as the major statistical tools to analyse the data derived from self-administered…

This paper compares and contrasts two approaches that are widely used in the English- and German-speaking discourse on mathematics teacher knowledge: 'mathematical knowledge for teaching' and 'mathematics didactic knowledge'. It is proposed that these constructs are based on distinct theoretical and conceptual positions and origins. Mathematical…

Many district and school leaders have leveraged instructional leadership or social justice leadership to advance student achievement for minoritized students. While research has examined these approaches separately, we identify a potential gap at the nexus between instructional and social justice leadership. In particular, we find a need for…

The term 'digital resources' is increasingly used in educational research to describe the specific knowledge and skills that constitute teachers' professional digital competence. Educational policy documents, including the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu), deploy the term to reaffirm teachers' need for…

Background: Effective science teaching requires a specialised body of knowledge. Researchers have recognised the importance of understanding the incoming knowledge that pre-service science teachers (PSTs) bring to their initial teacher education. However, although many studies have focused on PSTs' declarative knowledge or the knowledge that…

Educators rely on teamwork skills to productively contribute to professional responsibilities such as curriculum committees, professional learning communities (PLCs), co-teaching, and individualized education plan (IEP) teams. This quantitative study was designed to assess teacher candidates' knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) related to…

The United States needs to produce more graduates with the required 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and cross-cultural awareness to remain a top competitor in a global marketplace. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, commonly referred to as STEM, is a transdisciplinary approach to…

TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) is an entirely new teaching model in the science of education field, founded about five years ago. There is still some room for improvement and discussion to develop this model. Some studies argue that the model is irrelevant to practical context due to its vague definitions. On the other hand,…

This article investigates the knowledge arising in mathematics teachers' planning of how to manage transitions within and beyond dynamic geometry environments in the topic of circle theorems. The notion of situated abstraction is used to elaborate the central TPACK construct within mathematics education and address previous criticisms of the…

This study aims to examine pre-service science teachers' (PSTs') model-based (MB) content knowledge (CK) and knowledge of students' understanding (KSU) of chemical bonds. The participants of the study consist of 229 senior pre service science teachers. The study is a case study from qualitative research designs. The data of the study were…

The provision of support has always been central to the role of the undergraduate dissertation (UD) supervisor, but little research has been done on its contextual determinants in web-facilitated contexts. Beyond the general recognition of the importance of institutional support for the development of supervisors' technological and pedagogical…

The aim of the study, which is designed based on survey model, is to measure whether the TPACK confidence makes a significant difference in terms of determined variables in the study. The research group consists of 201 teachers working as textbook authors in the textbook writing commissions in the 2022-2023 academic year. Data collected using…

The framework of professional noticing describes three components (attending, interpreting, and deciding) that allow teachers to better understand the thinking of their students. Via this method, teachers attend to their classroom by observing relevant cues from students, interpret these cues based on their knowledge of student development, and…

This paper describes and evaluates student teachers' virtual simulation training on teaching a controversial issue. In the fourth year of their program to become social science teachers at lower and upper secondary schools, 43 student teachers in Sweden conducted simulation teaching on conspiracy theories as an example of a controversial issue.…
