In this article, we analyse a lesson on Thales's theorem in a Chilean secondary school classroom through the combination of two theories: Mathematics Teachers' Specialised Knowledge (ThMTSK) and Mathematical Working Spaces (ThMWS). Both theories, first separately and then in relation to one another, are used to analyse two tasks proposed by the…

Extension agents frequently teach adult audiences, who require a different approach than youth audiences. Andragogy has been frequently used to frame research in Extension. However, it is not clear if Extension professionals apply andragogical principles in practice when teaching programs. We used Knowles' theory of andragogy and the Personal…

This study provides evidence of the effect of video analysis of real classroom situations as a support for promoting the professional vision among primary education pre-service teachers. Specifically, it focuses on the Science Process Skills involved in scientific inquiry when teaching through this method. This quasi-experimental study (n = 90)…

Video lectures in massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide an opportunity to not only deliver instructional content but also engage learners. While there are many different styles of video lectures, it is not clear how video styles affect learner engagement. This study analysed and critiqued different typologies of video styles and classified…

Personal best (PB) goal setting refers to the pursuit of individual improvement through striving to outperform a previous best level of performance or effort. Although promising evidence has been building, numerous empirical questions remain to be answered, including how PB goal setting may operate alongside various contextual predictors of…

Visions of teacher professionalism may shape common conceptualizations of high-quality mentoring, sometimes distortedly. Nevertheless, this relationship is often unnoticed, and studies rarely analyze mentor--teachers' work according to their interrelating visions. This multiple case study aimed at this literature gap. It examined the goals that…

This paper provides a rationale for The Spectrum of Teaching Styles (The Spectrum) as a pedagogical model in teaching physical education (PE). Building on prior discussions/debates (SueSee et al., 2021), we will contest the view that the concept of teaching styles is different from that of a pedagogical model. In doing so, we highlight the most…

Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study aimed at comparing autonomy-supportive (e.g., the teacher allows students to choose a project they are interested in from several options), structuring (e.g., the teacher breaks down problem-solving steps into manageable parts to help students understand), controlling (e.g., the teacher…

The rapid growth of postgraduate education in China necessitates the imperative to augment the innovative behaviors of postgraduates. The purpose of this study was to explore whether a supportive mentoring style affects the innovative behavior of master's degree students and the potential role that academic aspiration may play in the relationship…

We propose the 'flow of a proof' as a construct that relates to the balance lecturers achieve in their presentation between the proof as a whole and its different parts, taking into account various aspects (informal, contextual) of proof classroom presentation. We conducted expert interviews in which we presented two different proofs of the same…

Interactional psychological literacy is an emerging concept in educational disciplines in the contexts of understanding and effectively navigating social and emotional interactions within educational settings. Attachment theory posits that early relationships with caregivers shape an individual's future interactions and relationship patterns.…

Background: Interventions facilitated by caregivers have gained popularity among those caring for young children with autism. Instructing caregivers on specific techniques to foster social communication skills in their at-risk or diagnosed autistic children has the potential to alleviate concerns about their children's development. Moreover, it…

Shifting to student-centered teaching-learning in the Philippines entails closer scrutiny of teacher beliefs. These beliefs shape the adoption and application of knowledge in classroom settings and educational reforms. Thus, this study aims to support the theoretical underpinnings of teacher belief. In particular, this study aims (1) to identify a…

Inspired by the apprenticeship model of teaching and learning, two instructors report on their efforts to place current events at the center of a semester-long media and information literacy course. They discuss strategies to harness curiosity about contemporary topics (e.g., misinformation, climate change, algorithms, right-to-repair, blockchain,…

The nation's explosive growth in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is likely to lead to low effectiveness of MOOCs, therefore, it is necessary to promote the high-quality and long-term development of MOOCs through understanding learner satisfaction. The present research adopted the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to derive factors affecting…
