This paper aims to explore how faculty in business and related fields perceive adaptivity and their own adaptive expertise in a university based in Central Europe. We focused on the qualitatively different ways in which faculty members' adaptive expertise can be conceptualised. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 participants, the…

Communicating technical concepts in preschool is of vital importance for developing the quality of the technology teaching practice and the development of the children's language skills within the content area. The aim of this study is to investigate how preschool teachers discern technology in relation to everyday situations in preschool. The…

"Isn't this just common sense? I don't see the point of having to read this," a student in a pre-service introductory methods class groaned. In another class, a student questioned why so much space in an article was devoted to race, stating that it seemed unnecessary and was "common sense." While the pre-service teachers…

The author explored the extent to which policy could be a source of sustainable professional development for elementary teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching. The study involved three policies in England: the National Numeracy Strategy and the Primary National Strategy, introduced in response to concerns regarding mathematics teaching and…

This paper explores Grade R teacher expressions of themselves as teachers of numeracy, and as teachers working in the transition phase of schooling, after their participation in a research-informed numeracy-focused professional development (PD) intervention. The Early Number Fun (ENF) programme had 33 teachers from 17 Eastern Cape schools…

This paper focuses on the structure and substance of the Core Content Framework (CCF), a controversial document which stipulates content that providers of teacher education in England must incorporate in their programmes. We identify both a concept of instrumental trainability and a lack of coherence in the CCF which suggests it is unsuitable as a…

Preparing special education preservice teachers (PTs) to serve students with autism includes understanding theoretical foundations of teaching strategies and developing competency in applying the resulting knowledge and strategies within teaching settings. The current pilot study explored the Internet-Based Parent-implemented Communication…

With the 2015 change in science standards to align more closely with the Next Generation Science Standards, as the district STEM coach, I saw a need for professional development that addressed the lack of understanding and skill needed to teach the Science and Engineering Practices, specifically the practice of Scientific Augmentation. This…

Licensure tests should be an efficient and comprehensive way for policymakers to ensure that all teachers possess the basic knowledge and skills they need to effectively teach students to read. Yet more than half of states use a weak licensure test that fails to adequately measure elementary teachers' knowledge of scientifically-based reading…

This study investigates the effectiveness of an integrated approach combining think-pair share and active learning management in enhancing non-credentialed teachers' assessment competency and compares their learning achievement in educational assessment across pre, post, and delayed examination phases.

With the advance of the Maker movement, teacher professional development is needed to prepare K-12 teachers for maker-centered instruction. This study examined the influence of teaching experience in learning maker-centered instruction. Data included surveys, 3D models, and maker lesson plans created by 162 in-service K-12 teachers. Results show…

This dataset was collected for the fulfillment of the first author's PhD studies. It was collected in two phases. Preliminary data investigated the status of tutors' mathematical knowledge for teaching. A lesson planning intervention framed within the technological and pedagogical content knowledge framework was provided to an experimental group…

The implementation of geospatial technologies in both primary and secondary education is more than desirable. However, many obstacles stand in the way. This paper reflects on the current state of geographic information systems (GIS) implementation in the educational curriculum in Czechia in comparison with an international context. The study aimed…

An increasing focus has been placed on enhancing accounting student engagement (ASE) in blended learning courses (BLCs) because to its advantageous effects, particularly in the context of the pandemic.
