This paper documents the Making CT researcher-practitioner partnership, designed to support in-service elementary teachers in understanding and integrating computational thinking into their disciplinary teaching. Drawing from this collaborative work with teachers, over a sustained time, we describe the shifts in teachers' integration of CT into…

Field supervisors are central to clinical teaching, but little is known about how their feedback informs preservice teachers' (PSTs) development. This sequential mixed methods study examines over 3,000 supervisor observation evaluations. We qualitatively code supervisor written feedback, which indicates two broad pedagogical categories and nine…

In this study, we explore the use of analogies with classical physics in introductory quantum physics (QP) teaching. This work is part of a larger project in which a learning sequence covering three introductory QP topics was designed, tested, and evaluated in collaboration with high school teachers and physics education researchers. Based on the…

This paper presents research that aimed to determine how teachers employed in Croatian and Serbian music schools coped with distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The random sample was represented by 589 teachers working in music schools, of which 369 were from Croatia and 220 were from Serbia. The results showed that teachers from both…

This study examined the learning trajectory of five US humanities teachers when navigating learning to teach the difficult history of school desegregation within a context of a six-month inquiry-based professional development. The research questions were: What do teachers frame as problems when teaching difficult histories? How do they…

Amid climate change, digital transformation, global warming, economic recessions, and rising geopolitical tensions, K-12 and higher education are undergoing a profound transformation. All these remarkable and unsettling changes, along with groundbreaking advancements over the past decade, will undoubtedly impact students' learning trajectories and…
