The need for competent and qualified trainers is of paramount importance for an effective technical training system that, in turn, helps to produce competent and employable graduates for the country's economy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of trainers' competence on the employability of polytechnic college graduates in…

In the mathematical literature on analytical geometry, various notions of the conics' eccentricity correspond to different approaches to these curves. After making a comparative analysis of well-known textbooks to determine coincidences and differences between the various concepts of eccentricity, as well as how the authors explain the…

Teacher preparation programs often rely on college science courses to help preservice elementary teachers learn science subject matter. However, the impact of these courses has not been sufficiently explored. In this study we explore the relationships between new elementary teachers' science subject matter knowledge and their college science…

The objective of this study is to expand teachers' knowledge base of assessment in teaching by exploring pre-service language teachers' construct of grading literacy during their pedagogical studies and immediately after. We conceptualize pre-service language teachers' grading literacy with a literature-based flow model of decision-making…

The purpose of this study was to assess preservice teachers' comfort levels and familiarity with the teaching competencies embedded in the Texas Reading Academy curriculum. Participants in this study were eight clinical teachers involved in a pilot program with the Texas Education Agency (TEA), which was evaluating the feasibility of extending…

Globally, the demand for people prepared to enter Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers is increasing. To help fill this demand, many formal and informal STEM educational interventions have been implemented in the K-12 domain. However, due to the lack of a clearly defined framework for documenting the nature and scope of the…

This research project explored the factors affecting the adoption of an innovative and active English language teaching (ELT) strategy by Lao teachers. It also investigated why many teachers found it difficult to adopt the strategy and how an understanding of this difficulty resulted in the creation of an in-service teacher training program.…

Purpose: The evolving dynamics of the labour market make graduates' future employability an important issue for higher education (HE) institutions, prompting universities to complement the conventional graduate skills approach with a wider focus on graduate forms of capital that may enhance their sense of employability. This study, adopting a…

Developing valid and reliable instruments to assess common content knowledge (CCK) is a prerequisite for determining and improving the content knowledge of preservice teachers (PSTs) and teachers. We report on the development and psychometric analysis of an instrument for assessing PSTs' gymnastics CCK for secondary physical education teaching…

Teacher knowledge is vital to provide meaningful learning opportunities. In this case study, a secondary education teacher's knowledge about how to teach the concept of ecosystems from a river is explored. A category system drawn from the literature about science teacher knowledge was used for the analysis. Science teaching requires teachers to…

Released in 2018, China's Standards of English Language Ability (CSE) set a benchmark for language education and assessment in China, integrating with international standards. This study investigates whether CSE assessment literacy (understanding and applying CSE standards in assessment practice) enhances Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) among…

Many studies have examined representational abilities, but few have explored the use of lesson study activities based on didactical design research, which integrated STEM to solve problems in higher education. This research aimed to develop a STEM-based blended lecture design that optimized the representation abilities of prospective mathematics…

In this article we explore the use of teacher professional standards in an initial teacher education programme and preservice teacher perceptions of their preparedness for teaching using a survey of 54 first- and second-year preservice teachers in a graduate-entry programme. The survey asked the preservice teachers to respond to 16 questions based…

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) have been used increasingly in designing and discussing teachers' professional development, but how PLC are organised and framed differ between contexts. There is a lack of meta-level studies that aim to define and compare different ways of organising PLC. In this literature review of 32 studies,…
