In this study, an instrument was developed to measure an instructor's value and incorporation of intersectionality theory in the classroom. Through a Delphi study, a list of items was devised, and then a pilot study was conducted to collect responses from 161 participants. The result is the development of the Intersectionality Pedagogy Scale, a…

Descriptions of expertise have focused on knowledge and characteristics of mathematics teacher educator (MTE) practice. To contribute to discussion of MTE expertise we share findings from a study of MTE discussion practice with prospective teachers (PTs) concerning pedagogy of teaching mathematics. Research on MTE discussion practices have shown…

The role of tertiary music performance education is to prepare students for professional performance. Professional performers demonstrate stage mastery, and their concert preparation transcends the score to equip them for the concert stage.

The Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) created a Small Teaching Challenge, leveraging department chairpersons to encourage faculty adoption of evidence-based, small teaching practices.

For educators, identifying and characterising problems in their teaching practice is essential for triggering inquiries into their practice. Knowing what educators consider problematic is essential for generating strategies for situated approaches to help teacher educators manage their problems and promote professional learning. In this study, we…

Schools play significant roles in promoting pupils' well-being. This study explores teachers' experiences using the research-based, psychoeducational method Let's Talk about Children (LTC) to support pupils' well-being and identify possible risk factors in cooperation with home and school. The study's data comprise 83 LTC training participants'…

As a fundamental component of formative assessment, student self-assessment is considered "a sine qua non condition" for autonomous learners. Despite the extensive body of literature regarding principles and practice guidelines for student self-assessment, scant is the evidence about what instructional practices teachers use in classroom…

The existing e-learning models for higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) enhancement focus more on technology and e-learning methods, ignoring the important roles of human factors such as e-leadership, collaboration, and readiness. This exploratory sequential mixed-methods design study aimed to identify significant factors for e-learning practices…

In this paper, we argue that the attempts to centre education in one of its three constitutive aspects that have long determined the discourse on the purpose and aims of education run the risk of one-sidedness. Theories of student-centred education have been in vogue for many centuries now, having been born out of a polemic against teacher-centred…

The purpose of this qualitative meta-analysis (QMA) is to provide a concise and comprehensive picture of findings across qualitative studies to answer this question: What factors contribute to systematically closing the opportunity gap for all students, and particularly for students labelled linguistically and culturally diverse? The ultimate goal…

Collaborative lesson planning (CLP) is deemed a sustainable professional development for teachers that can improve pedagogy and instruction in the classroom. This study examined how CLP influences teachers' self-regulated learning (SRL) instruction to students. Using data from 313 primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong, we conducted a…

Teaching the contents of study materials by providing explanations to fellow students can be a beneficial instructional activity. A learning-by-teaching effect can also occur when students provide explanations to a real, remote, or even fictitious audience that cannot be interacted with. It is unclear, however, which underlying mechanisms drive…

In this contribution, Sharon Todd moves beyond the bounds of what she calls "strong" instrumentalism (one that posits education in a mechanistic fashion and operates politically through a marrying of national educational policies with economic interests) and explores the intrinsic purpose of educational practice specifically through an…

Cognitive science-informed approaches have gained considerable influence in education in the UK and internationally, but not much is known about how teachers perceive cognitive science-informed strategies or enact them within the contexts of their everyday classrooms. In this paper, we discuss the perceptions and experiences of cognitive…
