The purpose of this quantitative comparative study was to assess if and to what extent differences exist in teacher self-efficacy for implementing self-regulated learning (SRL) instruction (direct instruction, providing choices, providing challenges and complex tasks, and building in evaluation) between novice and veteran middle school teachers in…

This guidance provides support for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across various roles in West Virginia PK-12 schools, catering to the needs of superintendents, district staff, educators, and support staff. The guidance intends to focus on effectively and safely integrating AI, especially generative AI technologies, in classroom…

This study aims to describe the epistemological obstacles of prospective Indonesian secondary mathematics teachers' in designing project-based numeracy tasks (PbNTs). Three case studies focused on qualitative analyses of prospective Indonesian secondary mathematics teachers' PbNTs from responses to a semi-structured interview based on indicators…

The unprecedent times of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a relevant impact on schooling. In this context, identifying the features of effective and responsive teachers' professional development paths in the assessment domain has never been as critical as it is today. However, despite the widespread interest in teacher assessment literacy and…

Immersive learning practices (ILPs) in higher education are multidisciplinary in nature and varied in levels of integration into the student learning process. They appear in a variety of higher education programs such as teacher education, social work, law, and health sciences, and in practices such as service-learning, study away, internships,…

This article presents an exercise designed to instill growth mindsets in business students and to demonstrate their effects on achievement motivation. The main points of the exercise are to introduce implicit theories of intelligence (i.e., fixed and growth mindsets), demonstrate that mindsets are malleable, apply growth mindset strategies, and…

This qualitative multiple case study describes three university conductors' approaches to preparing repertoire with their ensembles outlined through: sequential processes and timelines; the structure and tools inherent to the implementation of their respective processes; and the priorities or non-negotiable' factors that guide their…

This paper examines the pedagogical integration of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs), to identify best practice and improve online pedagogy. It has captured the perspectives of 12 Health and Earth Science university teachers, through in-depth interviews, about the current integration of the VM in online teaching,…

In STEM education, the engineering design process serves as a pedagogical strategy to connect science and mathematics concepts. While STEM approaches are increasingly favored in science courses, the role of mathematics in integrated STEM activities is often overlooked, despite its foundational importance across STEM disciplines. This manuscript…

This study adopted an action research design to analyze the contribution of the Elevator Pitch technique on English as foreign language learners' oral fluency. Six 11th graders in a rural at-risk context in a vocational public high school in Hualqui, Chile participated in this study. The Elevator Pitch technique was implemented during seven…

Programmed control systems are ubiquitous in the present-day world. In current educational practice, however, these systems are hardly being addressed, and little is known about children's spontaneous understandings about such systems. Therefore, we explored pupils' understandings prior to instruction in three concrete settings: a car park, an…

This study reports the design, implementation, and evaluation of a 3-day intensive short-term teacher education program that was specifically designed and implemented with the aims of fostering English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher-learners' ability to enact dialogic teaching in their teaching practices. Thirty pre-service English teachers…

This study investigated the development of the integration among EFL student-teachers' PCK components during a 16-week mentoring-enriched practicum course. Data were collected from three EFL student-teachers using the content representation, follow-up interviews, and classroom observation. These data were then analyzed using the PCK Mapping…

'Group work' is a vague description of an instructional activity, because many factors shape its character and effect on students. One important factor is group formation, that is, how groups are formed by the instructor. In this paper, we sought to better understand the variation of group work with respect to group formation by addressing: How do…

Active learning techniques are being use with increasing frequency in the classroom and more time is being dedicated to designing and implementing them. However, the literature still suffers from a lack of rigorous empirical methods to test the effects of simulations. Most of the claimed benefits of utilizing simulations, and other active learning…
