In educational research, teaching quality is extensively studied because of its role of a mediator between teacher characteristics and student learning. However, empirical evidence on differences between video and live scoring of teaching quality is rare. In the present study, thirty lessons from 15 secondary mathematics classrooms in a German…

This qualitative case study explores the effect of video-supported expertise-based training (XBT) on pre-service teachers' classroom management noticing. Nine volunteer senior pre-service teachers were recruited through maximum variation sampling at an internationally recognised university in Northern Cyprus. Data were collected through…

Capturing and measuring instructional patterns by using standardized observation manuals has become increasingly popular in classroom research. While researchers argue that a common vocabulary of teaching is necessary for the field of classroom research to move forward, instructional features vary across classrooms and contexts, which poses…

Background/purpose: This study presents a systematic review of teaching observation instruments in the current literature based on PRISMA standards. Materials/methods: Three researchers performed searches on two databases, SCOPUS and Web of Science, focusing on two criteria: A) peer observation of teaching and B) higher education, with search…

This study focuses on the use of systematic social observations (SSO) to measure crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and disorder. To improve knowledge about measurement issues in small area research, SSO is conducted by means of three different methods: in-situ, photographs, and Google Street View (GSV) imagery. By evaluating…

Critical reflection is pivotal for enhancing practice in peer observation of teaching (POT). Our analysis of educators' reflections in a developmental POT program revealed a deficiency in the level of critical reflection. In this paper, we reflect on the reasons behind this shortfall and changes made to enhance the scaffolding of critical…

Adaptive expertise is considered key to improving teacher practice. While literature suggests that classroom observations followed by professional learning conversations may contribute to the development of adaptive expertise, few studies have specifically examined the influence of this process. Hence, this qualitative study investigated the…

In recent years, the concept of "deeper learning" has generated great interest in the field of preschool education in China. However, deep learning in the preschool stage is different from that in school education, as it requires explaining content characteristics, developing observational tools to identify deep learning, and exploring…

Background: Teachers' goals play an important role in teaching quality and student outcomes. However, the processes through which this aspect of teacher motivation translates into specific teaching behaviours remain unclear. Aims: This study investigates how goals directed at students and the classroom are associated with visual information…

This interpretive study explores the level of satisfaction of primary school students in relation to an observation activity of environmental components (natural plant materials and their representations in photographs and drawings), conducted in a school setting. The research employed a quantitative approach, applying a quasi-experimental…

This research aims to determine the level of policy implementation on teaching observation in Darasamutr School, Thailand. It likewise explored the factors affecting such level of implementation. Three population samples were considered for the study, namely elementary teachers, high school teachers and administrators. Perceptions among these…

Play is often included in autism diagnostic assessments. These tend to focus on 'deficits' and non-autistic interpretation of observable behaviours. In contrast, a neurodiversity-affirmative assessment approach involves centring autistic perspectives and focusing on strengths, differences and needs. Accordingly, this study was designed to focus on…

Examination of the effectiveness of an attention intervention using a randomized controlled trial for toddlers with suspected or confirmed autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Data was collected from Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada between February 2018 and February 2020 (halted due to COVID-19 pandemic). Participants were 35 toddlers…

This small-scale case study examines the use of remote lesson observations and lesson feedback in the Teaching Qualification in Further Education (TQFE) course at a university in the North of Scotland. Successful completion of the course by lecturers working in Colleges of Further Education enables them to register with the General Teaching…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cooperative learning (CL) on the academic achievement of student teachers. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was implemented in which quantitative data were collected first, followed by qualitative data to clarify the results of the experimental study. Achievement test,…
