This research focuses on chemistry teachers' enacted pedagogical content knowledge (ePCK) in equilibrium in chemical reactions. The enactment dimension of this pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) encompasses enacted knowledge and skills as well as those embedded in practice concerning the Refined Consensus Model of PCK, the most recent PCK model…

The aim of this study was to analyze the development of the PCK of a Chemistry student teacher, from a university in southern Brazil, during teaching activities in the Supervised Internship. The theoretical basis adopted in this study was the PCK theory proposed by Shulman (1986, 1987) and some models that unfolded from it. Data collection…

This article describes how some Swedish compulsory schools work to achieve collective development of practices in mathematics and science.

Data were collected through four case studies by interviews with teacher…

This article addresses the critical need to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills in pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher education in Egypt. It argues that a more practical orientation in teacher preparation is essential for addressing the specific challenges and opportunities present in Egyptian EFL…

Pre-service teachers (PSTs) of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) need extensive training, preparing them for challenges encountered in real classrooms. Such challenges include presenting the target content knowledge in front of the class and promptly responding to students' questions on the content. High-immersion virtual reality (VR) is…

New Zealand primary school teachers are expected to regularly reflect on their teaching practice in order to consider the implications of past teaching on future planning.
