The conceptualization of pre-service teachers' knowledge integration typically involves the distinction of two types: first-order knowledge integration, which includes merging domain-specific knowledge entities into a common knowledge base, and second-order knowledge integration, which refers to the integrated (simultaneous) application of…

Knowledge required to teach mathematics at the university level is a current and relevant research topic in Mathematics Education. Thus, the case study presented in this article pertains to one mathematics lecturer whose knowledge is examined focusing on his delivery of a Multivariable Calculus course. The data required were gathered via classroom…

This article examined influences of academic and professional qualifications on the content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of lecturers. Research findings demonstrated no statistically significant influence of academic and professional qualifications on lecturers' PCK. Based on academic and professional…

It is indicated that research on professional development programmes (PDPs) for mathematics teachers mostly concerns whether a programme affects the teachers' practice or student learning, while the teachers' learning is treated as a "black box." Calls have been made for a shared body of knowledge on teachers' professional learning and…

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine the implementation of training and practices of formative assessment for new North Carolina Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers. The study investigated new CTE teacher levels of knowledge, the strategies they use, and the challenges they face. This study aimed to improve the quality…

Purpose: Our research examined the effects of a content course in a physical education teacher education program. Methods: Ten participants were recruited from a physical education teacher education content course to examine participants' common content knowledge (CCK) and specialized content knowledge (SCK) in tennis and badminton. Descriptive…

With the changes in Common Core State Standards, it was essential to explore how elementary pre-service teachers' sense of fractions is developing and their thoughts about how to teach fractions. A gap in practice exists because it is unknown how pre-service elementary teachers, after student-teaching, perceive their level of in-practice knowledge…

In this paper, we investigate the links between prospective elementary teachers' (PTs') ability to notice student mathematical thinking, their mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) and their ability to decompose learning goals into component conceptual parts (Morris et al., 2009). Previously, researchers have proposed theoretical connections…

Background: Various forms and types of knowledge have enjoyed legitimacy in physical education (PE) since sports techniques became the orienting idea for PE in economically advanced countries in the mid-twentieth century. The forms and types of knowledge granted legitimacy at any one moment are dependent on a range of socio-discursive factors. In…

Teacher knowledge is vital to provide meaningful learning opportunities. In this case study, a secondary education teacher's knowledge about how to teach the concept of ecosystems from a river is explored. A category system drawn from the literature about science teacher knowledge was used for the analysis. Science teaching requires teachers to…

One way to support student teachers learning is by offering them different opportunities to reflect on their own and others' practice. The use of videos is seen as an effective opportunity to support the professional development of teacher education students. This study aimed to find out what are the students' hesitations related to video…

Teachers' instructional design skills influence their teaching practices and student learning performances. However, researchers have found that the traditional one-to-many model of preservice teacher education prevents preservice teachers from receiving timely and individualized feedback, making it difficult to fill in theoretical knowledge gaps…

Propositional teacher knowledge is recognised as valuable in classroom teaching practice, yet little attention has been paid to it relative to practical knowledge. This mixed-methods study aimed to understand the relationship between teachers' propositional knowledge and their classroom teaching practice in the collaborative school context using…

With the 2015 change in science standards to align more closely with the Next Generation Science Standards, as the district STEM coach, I saw a need for professional development that addressed the lack of understanding and skill needed to teach the Science and Engineering Practices, specifically the practice of Scientific Augmentation. This…

This study investigates the effectiveness of an integrated approach combining think-pair share and active learning management in enhancing non-credentialed teachers' assessment competency and compares their learning achievement in educational assessment across pre, post, and delayed examination phases. Utilizing a one-group experimental design, 29…
