The goal of this study was to uncover primary teachers' perspectives on the use of design-based activities in disaster education and to thoroughly examine the plans. The study is designed as a case study. The participants were chosen using the purposeful sampling method. The study included 24 primary school teachers (12 male and 12 female) from…

Purpose: Despite numerous kinds of research regarding the potential of lesson study (LS) in internship and microteaching in teacher education curricula, studies examining the adaptation of LS in the lesson planning (LP) course have not been established. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore the perceptions of pre-service biology teachers of…

Lesson plan templates are a frequent requirement in schools around the world. School administrators often choose a standard lesson plan style and require the consistent layout for all teachers of all grade levels and across all disciplines. Lesson planning, when done well, should be a guide for both teachers and administrators of the educational…

In this research, it is aimed at examining the opinions of the Social Studies teacher candidates about the Lesson Study Model carried out in the Teaching Practice course. The research was designed as a case study. The participant group of the research consists of three pre-service teachers selected by the criterion sampling method: the social…

This three-day lesson plan provides students with an introduction to reading topographic maps using multiple modalities. The goal is to give students a range of opportunities using different media to increase their map-reading skills. After hands-on modeling, a summative assessment provides students with the opportunity to put their topographic…

Effective phonemic awareness instruction is essential for early literacy development, yet teachers often seek additional support in designing structured, engaging, and standards-aligned lesson plans. Generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT Plus, is a promising tool for assisting educators with lesson creation. This study explores the effectiveness…

Background: Existing conceptions of teaching quality assume that classroom interactions serve as the foundation for effective teaching. The resulting data necessitates analytical approaches capable of extracting the semantics of these interactions. Aim: This study investigates whether and to what extent lesson semantics provide insights into…

Discussions about generative artificial intelligence (AI) seem to predominate current conversations about higher education. It is urgent for those engaged in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to evaluate how generative AI could be used appropriately in course development and evaluation, but it is also important for SoTL practitioners to…

As an increasing number of teacher education programs are adopting teacher residency models in preparing future teacher candidates to meet the needs of local partnering school districts, coursework in teacher preparation is likely to include co-taught models of instruction where representatives from both local school districts and university-based…

This qualitative exploratory study explored the individual processes of five PSTs as they interacted with AI, evaluated AI-generated lesson plans, and how they perceived AI's affordances and constraints. Drawing from the concept of AI literacy, this study provided an in-depth analysis of PSTs' evaluation processes and perceptions on designing with…

The integration of ICT in education in developing countries has become a significant focus in various ODA projects and educational research. With the increasing demand for teachers to incorporate ICT in their classrooms, the precise methods for effectively integrating ICT resources have not been thoroughly explored. Therefore, this research aimed…

Teacher education programs need to prepare future teachers to adapt their teaching for students varying in motor ability, experience, and prior knowledge. The purpose of this case study was to examine (a) preservice teachers (PSTs) adaptations in lesson plans; (b) whether the adaptations were modifications or refinements; and (c) the…

This paper presents the results of an exploratory sequential mixed methods research project investigating Greek IT teachers' curriculum ideologies. Following the theoretical framework proposed by Michael Schiro, two different measurement tools were designed and implemented for the identification of teachers' philosophical beliefs about the…

Teacher questioning impacts the level of student thinking that occurs during mathematical instruction. It is important to investigate how questioning is developed in secondary mathematics methods classes so that these environments can support the development effective questioning strategies. This article explores how two preservice teachers use…

This action research aims to develop the ability to solve mathematical problems, particularly in polygons, through open-approach learning management for sixth-grade students, with the goal of achieving an average score exceeding 70% of the total possible score. The target group consisted of eight students in the second semester of the academic…
