Heather Howell; Jamie Mikeska; Pamela Lottero-Perdue; Calli Shekell; Devon Kinsey; Camila Lee; Justin Reich; Adam Maltese; Meredith Park Rogers; Dionne Cross Francis; Pavneet Kaur Bharaj; Shreyashi Halder – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2025
This article describes the outcomes of using a scaffolded set of two digital, simulation-based approaches to support secondary mathematics and science preservice teachers (PSTs) in learning to facilitate argumentation-focused discussions. The researchers investigated PST and teacher educator (TE) impressions of the experience and collected…

Pamela S. Lottero-Perdue; Howell Heather; Pavneet Kaur Bharaj; Meredith Park Rogers; Dionne Cross Francis; Adam V. Maltese; Calli Shekell; Jamie N. Mikeska – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2024
In this study, three math and three science teacher educators (TEs) were positioned as designers of instruction. The investigation considered how TEs supported preservice teachers (PSTs) to learn to facilitate argumentation discussions using two digital simulations. Research questions were (a) How did TEs engage in instructional design around the…

Barlow, Elizabeth K.; Barlow, Angela T.; Nadelson, Louis S. – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2023
Advancements in computing have led to increased interest in integrating computational thinking in the K-12 curriculum. Computational thinking can be defined as a problem-solving process with the goal of developing algorithms that can be coded for computer use. With its emphasis on problem solving, the processes associated with computational…

Dawn M. Woods; Linda Doornbos; Cynthia Carver – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2024
This qualitative study investigated how mixed-reality simulations supported the development of justice-oriented core teaching practices within a large elementary education program. Told from the point-of-view of two methods instructors, using candidates' written and oral reflections, the authors examined the use of Mursion[R] mixed reality…

Sprague, Debra R.; Zumpano, Nicole M.; Richardson, Jayson W.; Williamson, Jo; Gray, Lucy – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2023
The third pillar of technology infusion is practice, providing numerous opportunities in multiple settings for teacher candidates to practice teaching with technology and to reflect on their experiences. Drawing from sociocultural theories of learning and change, this article offers a theoretical justification of this pillar and unpacks how…

Lottero-Perdue, Pamela S.; Mikeska, Jamie N.; Nester, M. Shae – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2022
In this report of an action research study, the authors describe how one elementary science teacher educator used transcript coding of simulated classroom discussions as a pedagogical approach to learn about her elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs') abilities to notice key aspects of scientific argumentation discussions. Elementary PSTs (n = 19)…
