This study investigates the ability of future primary school teachers to design experiments when confronted with everyday life problems, particularly those involving complex phenomena or counterintuitive outcomes. Data were collected using a content analysis approach from the written assignments submitted during a Science Education university…

The development of digital technology has driven a transformation in learning approaches in higher education to support the strengthening of 21st-century skills among students. This study aims to analyze the influence of Augmented Reality-Integrated Project-Based Learning on students' creative innovation, computational thinking, and academic…

Smart education and ubiquitous learning have come over globally, especially under coronavirus regime. Visual media and interactive operation can draw children's attention and interests, so the VR educational software becomes a prominent trend for training children. However, in K12 education, the VR technology is just in its initial period. In the…

The research aimed 1) to study the need in developing learning materials with plastic recycling for primary school students in Central Thailand, 2) to develop learning materials with plastic recycling for primary school students in Central Thailand based on action learning of pre-service teachers and 3) to distill the lesson learned from…

This study aims to reveal the astronomy-related self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers studying science education, primary school education, and social studies education programmes. The study is conducted using the survey design, a quantitative research method. The study sample consists of 322 pre-service teachers in their third or fourth…

Drawing from the Sheldon and Manktelow collections at SUNY Oswego's Penfield Library, along with sociological criteria for a profession -- graduate-level training, autonomy, peer evaluation and responsibility to the public -- this article reassesses Oswego State Normal School's impact on nineteenth-century teacher education. Descriptions of Oswego…

While recognized as a foundational practice, social studies educators struggle with enacting inquiry-based instruction. With critical inquiries that examine sociopolitical and other injustices, developing aligned compelling questions represents a challenge, particularly for elementary teachers. Informed by four lenses of criticality from social…

This study aims to identify the perceptions of female student teachers enrolled in the Primary Classroom Teacher Program (PCTP) at a university in Saudi Arabia. It will focus on Collaborative Online Project-Based Learning (COPBL), its advantages, challenges facing the implementation of this strategy, and provide suggestions and recommendations to…

Project-based learning (PBL) allows students to identify and find solutions to real-world problems using inquiry-based learning. While increasingly used in the K-12 classroom, PBL has not had widespread adoption in higher education. With the exception of Correll and Bornstein (2018), very little has been written about using PBL to redesign college…

Introduction: Inquiry-based teaching is a constructivist-based method that has become popular in recent years. In this method, students work in a systematic way like a scientist during the research process, actively participate in the learning process, solve problems and learn in practice. The aim of this study is to reveal the opinions of…

This paper is the result of an inter-university educational innovation project developed between the University of La Laguna (Spain) and the Autonomous University of Baja California (Mexico). Students from both institutions, studying at the equivalent level to become future primary education teachers, analysed the way in which primary school…

In this research it is aimed to examine the effects of STEM-based activities on pre-service primary school teachers' scientific inquiry skills, conducted in a science education course of third year undergraduate students. A mixed research method, combining pretest posttest single group design and semi-structured interviews guided the study.…

This research responds to calls for the decolonization and indigenization of education and higher education spaces and institutions within Canada, specifically within the physical education (PE) and physical education teacher education (PETE) sub-disciplines. Recognizing our own responsibility to attend to decolonization and indigenization, we…

This study reports on the experience of three novice science teacher educators as their journey on unpacking and scrutinizing their inquiry implementation. In this study, the three science teacher educators formed a critical inquiry group and engaged in collective action research to identify weaknesses and strengths in their instruction of inquiry…

Our paper focuses on the implementation of the flipped classroom model with the students of the subject ICT for EFL teaching and learning at a Spanish university.
