Background: What and how teachers learn through teaching without external guidance has long been of interest to researchers. Yet limited research has been conducted to investigate how learning through teaching occurs. The microgenetic approach (Siegler and Crowley, American Psychologist 46:606-620, 1991) has been useful in identifying the process…

The use of questioning to elicit student thinking is one of the cornerstones of ambitious teaching; thus, supporting prospective teachers in this complex practice is a core objective of mathematics teacher education. In this paper, we examine the academic rigor of the sustained questioning sequences prospective teachers use during instruction to…

This study aims to uncover the prompts most frequently repeated by pre-service teachers when using the Copilot technique, as well as their reflections on its use in preparing and planning science lessons for fourth graders. The qualitative research methodology with an exploratory case-study design was conducted on a purposeful sample of 20…

Open-mindedness is defined as one's willingness and ability to consider opposing beliefs and perspectives and give them a serious, impartial consideration by setting aside one's commitment towards one's own beliefs and perspectives. Learning to prepare and teach open-minded lessons is a crucial skill for student teachers because it fosters an…

In recent years, there has been an increase in the integration of socioscientific issues (SSI) into educational practices, which are recognized for enhancing higher-order thinking, scientific literacy, ethical considerations, and civic engagement. SSI teaching equips students to tackle global challenges, although they are complex challenges for…

This case study explores the integration of language-generating artificial intelligence (LGAI) in K-12 instructional planning, focusing on a middle school science teacher's use of these tools within the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The study investigates two primary concerns: how LGAI is utilized for lesson…

This study examines the influence of teacher collaboration on novice mathematics teachers' professional development through a project in Shanghai focused on creating digital resources for global primary mathematics education. We investigated how two novice teachers' interactions with social resources shaped their didactic praxeologies in lesson…

A 2019 survey by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) showed that Indonesia occupied a low position, specifically 74th out of 79 countries. In line with this problem, the government has accommodated teachers by implementing the Teacher Competency Test (TCT) since 2012 specifically for teachers who would take part in…

This study investigates the integration and application of ChatGPT among U.S. higher education students across various academic disciplines. Given the recent introduction of ChatGPT in educational contexts, this research aims to understand the specific ways students utilize this tool for academic tasks and their perceived impact on their academic…

The initial teacher education courses for Mathematics aim to promote an adequate education in mathematics and mathematics didactics. Equally or even more important than this education is understanding how the preservice teacher should build new knowledge from the activities they undertake. Considering the teaching practicum, this study aims to…

The aim of this study is to investigate the change of prospective mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) on the linear equation and slope subject based on the lesson plan development and implementation process based on the 4MAT model. The concept of PCK was discussed in three components as content knowledge, knowledge of student…

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…

Background/purpose: Developing the body of knowledge about how facilitators act and engage with participants is essential to developing Lesson Study (LS) facilitation. This research reveals how two LS facilitators from the United Kingdom and the United States support and lead cycles. Materials/methods: We used the Standards, Assessment,…

This study examines how elementary preservice teachers (PSTs) develop the capacity to design inquiry-based lessons in social studies and how this capacity changes over time. Using convergent parallel mixed methods, the findings indicate that PSTs had inherent and varied content design approaches fitting their perception of lesson design as they…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the development of Mathematics teachers' attitudes towards technology integration through collaborative lesson design activities as part of professional development. Design/methodology/approach: The pre-and post-test for non-equivalent comparison groups quasi-experiment was adopted as the study design where…
