Current mentoring models refer to the three pillars of support, accessibility, and…

In this paper, we present partial results of a quantitative research investigation, the aim of which was to find out the preconceptions and misconceptions of students of teaching in implementation of the Shoah phenomenon into the teaching. We present the results of two questions: 1. The opinion of respondents on the implementation of the term…

Teacher educator knowledge in curriculum development is situated in a space that is tacit and embodied. It is important to recognize that within the realm of teacher education (as opposed to K-12 classrooms), this knowledge is complex and draws upon nuanced personal practical expertise. When research is situated in self-study, it enables teacher…

Inconsistent reporting of critical facets of classroom interventions and their related impact evaluations hinders the field's ability to describe and synthesize the existing evidence base. In this essay, we present a set of reporting guidelines intended to steer authors of classroom intervention studies toward providing more systematic reporting…

The use of large language model Generative AI (GenAI) systems by students and instructors is increasing rapidly, and there is little choice but to adapt to this new situation. Many, but not all, students are using GenAI for homework and assignments, which means that we need to provide equitable access for all students to AI systems that can…

This study explores the experiences of primary school teachers providing remedial mathematics education to students with special learning difficulties (SLD). Through qualitative research and interviews with 22 teachers, findings highlight challenges such as insufficient knowledge of SLD, reliance on individual education plans, and students'…
