This paper questions the bounds of hegemonic knowledge production focusing on how student learning at the university level is a site to re-imagine knowledge produced in the Global South/Majority. It argues that there are transformational approaches to teaching and learning within the Caribbean that need to be centred in global pedagogical…

In this quasi-experimental study, we examined the effect of a self-reflection activity on the utility value of pre-service teachers in teaching game design. A pretest-posttest design was used to determine any differences associated with the intervention. 129 pre-service teachers from different majors participated in the study. The participants…

This article outlines how teaching strategies developed at Key Stage 5 can be built on in Higher Education. Focussing on act one, scene two of "The Tempest," a play that is taught in both 16-19 curricula and university syllabi, we posit that collaboration between teachers and academics across successive stages of education can extend the…

Background: Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning technologies offer significant advantages, such as facilitating the delivery of reflective feedback in collaborative learning environments while minimising technical constraints for educators related to time and location. Recently, scholars' interest in reflective feedback has…

In self-study, researchers explicitly identify how their practices add to the body of knowledge in teacher education (Vanassche & Kelchtemans, 2015). This self-study aims to document and analyze some of my learning as an early career teacher educator in Ontario, Canada. Being cognizant of the well-researched theory-to-practice gap in teacher…

As teachers' experiences are a prerequisite for developing an understanding of the challenges of teaching, their reflections on the potential of using authentic text in L1 grammar teaching deserves closer attention. This paper presents a focus-group study with six Swedish L1 teachers at upper secondary level during an intervention, in which they…

Citizenship and Citizenship Education are at the centre of curriculum reform in Kenya. Weak implementation processes have previously watered down similar novel curricular reforms due to a need for an elaborate curriculum implementation model. This article reviews existing Citizenship Education models to develop an effective curriculum…

The use of films in the classroom is not new, as they promote critical thinking and reflection (Prats, Lluis. 2005. "Cine para Educar." Barcelona: Belacqua). However, their role in promoting inclusive values with young learners remains relatively unexplored. Films have been considered a powerful pedagogical tool that helps students be in…

Reflective teaching (RT) is widely encouraged for pre-service teachers (PSTs) as a facilitating tool in learning to teach. Despite a large body of literature on RT, little empirical evidence sheds light on PSTs' perceptions of RT in the English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher education context in Vietnam. This study, thus, aims to examine…

Over the last few centuries, the purpose of knowledge and well-being has been confined to our perceived need for survival in a materialist society, dominated by the idea of economic growth. However, the social and environment impacts, and the heavy cost of this approach, have compelled us to ask questions such as: What is the purpose of knowledge…

We outline the structure of a term-long graduate course on teaching undergraduate mathematics. We analyze reflections written by the graduate students participating in the course to understand how they experienced the course and how the course impacted their beliefs about teaching. We find that students enjoy the course and find it to be useful.…

This study examines the impact of a professional learning (PL) project on secondary mathematics teachers' professional growth in their knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices. Initially attributing teaching challenges to external constraints, some teachers gradually recognised the need for pedagogical development through reflection and…

Academics' conceptions of teaching (ACTs) and academics' teaching approaches (ATAs) are essential factors in informing academics' teaching behaviors. However, empirical evidence from longitudinal research exploring the causal link between ACTs and ATAs is lacking. In the current study, we employed a cross-lagged panel model approach in three waves…

In this article, we look at three teacher education programs across three countries--Australia, Bhutan, and Canada--to examine how reflection is cultivated in pre-service teachers (also referred to as teacher candidates) through a pedagogy of self-assessment. We begin from the premise that a cornerstone of effective teaching is the capacity of an…

Previous research has emphasized both the importance of giving and receiving peer feedback for the purpose of active learning, as well as of university students' engagement in reflection to improve learning outcomes. However, requiring students to explicitly reflect on peer reviewing is an understudied learning activity in higher education that…
