We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…

Although instructional leaders increasingly acknowledge the influence of emotion on student learning, the role of emotion in teachers' professional learning has received less attention. In this conceptual article, we draw on three psychological perspectives--cognitive, organizational, and developmental--to provide instructional leaders with an…

In this study, we explored elementary school teachers' experiences working on open-ended mathematics tasks during a 10-day professional development (PD) workshop. Teachers engaged with the tasks daily in a session call Morning Math (MM). Thirty-two elementary teachers from three school districts in the USA participated in a 2-year professional…

Teacher research tends to focus on either teacher cognition or actions, or both. However, an understanding of cognition or behaviour that does not take multiple goals into account is incomplete. We integrate insights from self-regulation research in a goal system model and a methodology for eliciting teachers' goal systems representations (GSRs).…

A hermeneutic phenomenological dialogic exchange was conducted between the authors to gain an in-depth interpretive analysis of the concepts of reflection, pracademics and Cognitive Apprentices. It is evident that…

In this paper, we demonstrate the fruitfulness of a theoretical framework called "Commognition," developed in the context of mathematics education research, for conceptualizing and analyzing a professional development (PD) process on measurement uncertainty for secondary physics teachers. Evaluating measurement uncertainty is an…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how to improve the project management (PM) curriculum by evaluating the nature and alignment of learning outcomes in the PM course syllabi with Bloom's Taxonomy framework.
