Reflection is an important tool to help preservice teachers (PSTs) develop the skills and competence needed for effective teaching. Written and verbal reflections offer opportunities for novices to look back on their lesson implementation, but video allows them to step back "into the moment" to review their actions as they occurred in…

Failure learning remains an unexplored and even avoided topic within teacher education, particularly in School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE), despite recognized benefits from failure. To effectively incorporate failure learning, we must revisit the preservice teacher experience, showing how they approach and handle failure so we may better…

Professional identity is an area of significant research in engineering and health care but research in special education teacher identity is limited. Using the framework of Identity Theory, this study examined the evolving professional identity standard of seven preservice teacher candidates using concept maps across three points in time during…

Growing interest in STEM education and imminent curricular reform places new demands on teachers, giving impetus to re-examining how we prepare primary teachers for more integrated approaches. In addition to the acquisition of knowledge and skills, sustainable change demands the development of teacher identity, in which teachers are seen by…

The aim of this study is to assess future primary school teachers' learning outcomes, their achievement goals, support for the development of their creative competence and the appropriate methodological and technological processes that take place. The data was analyzed using a mixed research approach. The participants of the study are 160 students…

By innovatively applying positioning theory with reference to a framework of willingness, capability and power, this study explored how pre-service teachers' professional identities dynamically change through the negotiation of various positions. A qualitative approach was adopted using data from six Hong Kong pre-service teachers in a teacher…

The writing instruction preparation problem is complex and composed of a series of mutually reinforcing issues that are rarely ameliorated in teacher education programs (TEPs). Preservice teachers (PSTs) must critically examine their own writing experiences and instruction; however, such opportunities are not typically present in TEPs. This…

The aim of this article is to achieve greater understanding of the relationship between professional teacher identity and agency. From our perspective, agency is a necessary consequence of the process of construction and development of professional teacher identity. On this basis, we conducted a qualitative study involving analysis of the…

Teacher self-efficacy (TSE) has been linked to various positive outcomes for both teachers and students, such as increased teacher resilience and improved student performance. While extensive research has been conducted with in-service teachers, there has been limited focus on preservice teachers or teacher candidates. This three-year longitudinal…

This article examines how five teacher candidates conceptualized meanings of teaching and childhood through discussions of childhood objects within a focus group. Drawing on psychosocial methods, we show how teachers used their objects to work through tensions between professional roles as educators and the return of personal memory. We highlight…

The problem addressed in this study was that teachers do not continuously develop self-efficacy as they progress through their preparation programs. One long-standing challenge in teacher preparation is providing adequate opportunities for self-efficacy development. There is a causal correlation between teacher self-efficacy, teacher preparation…

In higher education, fostering scientific literacy stands essential, especially in understanding and responding to natural disasters. This research investigates the scientific literacy levels among Physics Education students at State University in Surabaya, Indonesia, focusing on earthquake disaster mitigation. This study uses a qualitative…

Incorporating technologies with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into education requires a shift in teaching methodologies. However, little is known about how pre-service teachers perceive the relevance and challenges of this incorporation, particularly in mathematics education. This study investigates pre-service teachers' interactions…

The aim of this study is to test the effect of the flipped learning model in promoting student science teachers' (SSTs) research self-efficacy (RSE) and the predictor role of RSE on achievement grades (AG) in the context of research methods in education course. The study is designed as a multimethod research. The participants were 33 SSTs from…

The purpose of this literature review was to analyze and synthesize pedagogical approaches related to developing music education philosophy for preservice music teachers. The literature that I identified covered procedures and strategies that preservice music teachers could apply to their teaching practice. On my analysis of the existing…
