Educational stakeholders generally assume that inspection feedback directly contributes to school improvement through the mechanism of feedback acceptance. Feedback research in general distinguishes between cognitive and affective responses as significant factors for feedback acceptance, but it also focuses on cognitive responses as antecedents of…

Through professional learning communities comprising preschool and primary school teachers, we investigated factors that facilitate or impede the implementation of neuroeducational principles, including repeated neuronal activation, active learning, spaced learning, feedback and mindset. Findings from this small-scale qualitative study indicate…

Student engagement remains a topical aspect of learning and teaching as it influences student outcomes and learning experiences. It is generally accepted to be a malleable construct encompassing students' actions, feelings and thoughts, all of which are influenced by the learning context and pedagogical choices made by the teacher. The aim of the…

Despite the developmental perspective of school inspections, teachers in inspected schools are not always willing to accept the school inspection's feedback for their further improvement of teaching and learning processes. Literature distinguishes several aspects of feedback that stimulate or hinder the acceptance of feedback, such as recipient's…

We consider what is known about the potential internal processes involved when educators come to use research findings in their classroom practice. We undertook a conceptual review drawing on a range of disciplines, with findings ultimately categorised under six phases regarding research uptake and implementation. This categorisation provides a…

The end of the semester has any number of regular milestones for teachers, among them the receipt of student evaluations of teaching. Particularly for those who teach large course sections, the anticipated experience of reading evaluations is often bemusement. Frequently, there are significant numbers of student comments on both "sides"…

When teaching statistics, educators sometimes overestimate their students' knowledge and abilities. This is due to the curse of knowledge, a cognitive bias that causes people--especially experts--to overestimate how likely others are to know and understand the same things as them. This can lead to various issues, including struggling to…

This study examined quiet quitting and the predictive nature of hope related to job engagement of educators. Research was conducted in a school district in the northeast United States. This quantitative study examined the correlation between job engagement and hope, to what extent hope predicted job engagement in education, and whether educator…

Teacher evaluation systems are designed to provide teachers with feedback to improve their practice. The feedback, however, is oftentimes not delivered in a way that considers the underlying cognitive processes that teachers experience when presented with performance feedback (Jordan & Audia, 2012). According to performance feedback theory,…

Studies on oral error correction in second language acquisition have been tilted towards cognitive aspects ignoring the affective and practical dimensions. This study attempted to fill this gap by investigating the role of students' proficiency levels in five English language teachers' corrective behavior. Follow-up interviews were conducted with…

This paper aims to illustrate an automated system developed to give formative and personalized feedback to teachers in training. It is an expert system (Paviotti, Rossi & Zarka, 2012) that uses concrete examples, cases and scenarios to guide the engaged learners (Leake, 1996). In this regard, this system is able to create questionnaires,…

Teacher emotions are of growing interest in educational research, but empirical findings are still scarce. In their recent model illustrating the possible causes and effects of teacher emotions, Frenzel and colleagues argue that emotions are driven by subjective appraisals of success and failure. Specifically, these authors propose that teachers…

Inadequate or ineffectively communicated feedback from faculty advisors may limit the development of cordial, collaborative relationships with doctoral capstone writers and may impede their successful outcomes. The purpose of this general qualitative study was to explore online faculty's use of technology when advising doctoral capstone writers.…

The study of teachers' cognition and classroom practices about online corrective feedback in English language teaching is a recent trend in research. However, there is a paucity of studies on teachers' practices and cognition of online corrective feedback in speaking class. Therefore, this study attempts to bridge this research gap by…

Background: Teaching is more complex than dealing with the cognitive aspects of learning alone and is also influenced by affective states. Because of this, more research is needed into the role of teachers' emotions in classroom interaction. Of special importance is research into reflective thinking and the extent to which it may be disturbed by…
