In the twenty-first century education is technology driven. The pre-service teachers are the future educators and lesson planning is an integral part of the curriculum of a pre-service teacher. Though at present everything is being digitalized and paperless, it has been seen that lesson plans are still being handwritten in the traditional way.…

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the expectations of students from mathematics teachers in the planning phase of lesson study (LS) in mathematics classrooms. Design/methodology/approach: This study reported only a part of large-scale action research. The participants were Grade 8 students selected by the convenience sampling method. The data…

This study investigates if a force-based teaching approach, based on quantum mechanical principles and developed in a lesson study, would enhance the understanding of chemical bonding among upper secondary school students. The teaching approach was based on research on the teaching and learning of chemical bonding. The study included first-year…

Preservice teachers' (PSTs) epistemic agency during their practicum experiences is not yet fully understood. In this study, we collected data in the form of in-depth interviews, reflective journals, and lesson plans from two Chinese language PSTs, and examined their epistemic agency during their practicums in Macau from a cultural-historical…

This paper reports on how a team of final-year pre-service teachers experienced a lesson study approach, as a program-specific form of student support. Guided by Bandura's social learning theory, this purposive qualitative case study reveals how the pre-service teachers' engagement in the lesson study approach triggered feelings of commitment,…

How can creative teaching in economics education be identified and explored? A construct that assists understanding in this area is pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). It represents the merging of content and pedagogy to understand how particular topics or lessons are organised, represented, and adapted to students' diverse interests and…

This paper presents an experience in which Lesson Studies (LS) are viewed as a lever for improving university teaching in Spain. The expansion of the LS model in the West is an indication of its value for improving teaching and provides us with different interpretations and variations of it. We will describe a process of Participatory Lesson Study…

This study aimed to investigate preservice science teachers' views of distance STEM education and the related lesson-planning process. The study was designed as a qualitative case study. Study participants comprised 22 senior preservice science teachers from a public university in the Western Black Sea area of Turkey during the 2019-2020 academic…

Fostering students' bidirectional conception of the equal sign (viewing the equal sign as indicating an equivalence of two sides rather than a 'show result' symbol) is challenging, and students' misconception of the equal sign is persistent. Some studies mention that in China, the pedagogical approach to introducing the equal sign supports…

The purpose of this study is to develop a lesson plan that will facilitate the instruction of socioscientific issues and the acquisition of twenty-first century skills. To this end, a lesson plan comprising four hours of instruction was devised and presented in comprehensive detail. Three distinct activities were devised and executed as part of…

As part of an international collaborative design-based research initiative, this study examines the applications and perceptions of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) among pre-service primary teachers within an Irish educational program. It focuses on how personal and academic uses of Gen AI influence their perceptions of using Gen AI…

Coordinate geometry is an important part of mathematics. It helps students develop thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the CORE learning model in promoting students' mathematical problem-solving skills when they learn the method of coordinates in a plane. Consequently, this study used…

This mixed methods study investigates the role of AI chatbots in assisting preservice teachers with creating differentiated lesson plans that emphasise student diversity and inclusion within an online learning environment. By conducting a comparative analysis of preservice teachers utilising AI chatbots versus those who did not, the research…

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the world of education has found a new normal, with new online courses, tools, educational apps, and artificial intelligence gaining in advancement and popularity. Interactive video is a multimedia tool that allows the viewer to actively engage with the content in the video by making choices and inputting data. In this…

In each educational curriculum, trigonometry is an important subject at upper secondary schools and pre university level that apply in many other subjects such as algebra, calculus, geometry and physics. Many of students have serious problem in learning the trigonometric materials because usually mathematics educators transfer the trigonometric…
