This study assessed the effect of the course cycle on theoretical knowledge of dental morphology and the dental carving ability of dental students. Thirty-two dental students from the third semester (initial cycle) and 30 students from the eighth and tenth semesters of the dental course (end cycle) had their theoretical knowledge on dental…

In order to investigate pre-service teachers (PSTs') understandings of the terms mathematics and numeracy, the authors conducted a study at one Australian university. The PSTs were enrolled in a mandatory unit about numeracy across the curriculum, in which both teachers' and students' numeracy capabilities were considered. The study took place…

This study aims at characterizing elementary pre-service teachers' conscious lack of knowledge about familiar technical artefacts and its relation to their knowledge about these artefacts. The participants were asked to state what they knew and also what they did not know about a sample of familiar technical artefacts such as a fan or a lock. The…

The purpose of the study is to reveal the relationship between teachers' lifelong learning tendencies and digital literacy levels. Both single and correlational survey designs from the quantitative research models were employed. To determine the study group, convenience case sampling was used by considering the Covid-19 pandemic and a total of 322…

This paper attempts to deepen our understanding of teachers' selection and modification of mathematical tasks for their classroom instruction. In this paper, we focus on teachers' orientations and resources that subtly influence teachers' choices during their routine undertaking of task selection and modification. Interviews using stimulus…

Traditional approaches to financial education -- with curricula and strategies designed by a developer oftentimes disengaged from the lived-worlds of all the students - increasingly populate the literature. For example, characteristics of participant, venue, timing, and content are chronicled that when analysed, result in on-going disappointing…

This study aimed to identify pre-service science teachers' awareness of employing artificial intelligence in science education. It sought also to determine the reasons that led to this level of pre-service science teachers' awareness of employing AI in science education. The mixed-method was used with an interpretive sequential design. The…

The study proposes a frontline deliberate learning (FDL) process involving knowledge generation, knowledge articulation, and knowledge codification, which enable organizations to capture knowledge embedded in the frontlines. It examines the antecedent effects of three orientations (i.e., performance, learning, and customer orientation) at both the…

Planning theories suggest a stepwise structure for organizing programs; evaluate current status with a needs assessment, identify strengths, weaknesses or gaps, use tools such as a logic model to plan, then implement and evaluate programming (Kettner et al., 2017). The National Agriculture in the Classroom organization and its state affiliates…

Although an open classroom climate for discussion has been demonstrated to benefit students' civic outcomes, individual differences in its effectiveness have not been fully investigated. In this study, we hypothesized that the positive effects of an open classroom climate for discussion would be moderated by positive teacher-student relationships.…

Research Findings: Emotion knowledge is one facet of social and emotional learning (SEL) that emerges in early childhood. Various interventions and measures target preschoolers' emotional skills to bolster these foundational competencies prior to formal schooling. One measure of emotion knowledge specifically with preschool children is the Affect…

The conceptions that prospective primary teachers (PPTs) have about breastfeeding (BF) were explored as part of their training in school content related to health and the human body. For this, the PPTs answered a questionnaire designed ad hoc, without having received any prior training about the topic. The questionnaire had previously been…

The cultivation of interdisciplinary thinking has gradually become the key direction of science education, however, the interdisciplinary teaching method is still not widely used in the current classroom. Especially in urban areas, where schools serve as the forefront of educational innovation and have diverse student bodies, the need for…

Describing and analyzing teaching practice has been a focus of researchers interested in the interaction and connections between teachers' content knowledge and their pedagogical knowledge. This study described the role of a teacher's mathematical content and pedagogical content knowledge in involving students in learning and solving Science,…

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) fundamentally shifts how educational knowledge is created, shared, and validated. Through the lens of epistemic technologies--tools that transform knowledge creation and dissemination--we analyze how GenAI challenges traditional notions of practical wisdom in education doctorate (EdD)…
