This study contributes to the growing body of research on the role of crosscutting concepts (CCCs) in three-dimensional teaching and learning by examining the complexity of elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs) knowledge for teaching related to CCCs. The researchers used qualitative methods to analyze PSTs' responses to a questionnaire about CCCs…

Artificial intelligence (AI) education is increasingly being recognized as essential at the K-12 level. For better understanding teachers' preparedness for AI education and effectively developing relevant teacher training programs, teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) readiness and attitudes toward AI teaching must be…

Dual Language Immersion (DLI) language education programs are complex spaces that have the potential to support greater educational equity. However, achieving this potential requires DLI teachers who are prepared to disrupt inequitable status quos by engaging with complexity to welcome into their classrooms ways of knowing and being that are…

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is crucial for effective teaching, but it is a complex and implicit knowledge, especially in chemistry education. Therefore, this study explores the use of the LBCD (Learning by Collaborative Design) model to support PCK development among pre-service chemistry teachers. This study adopted a one-group…

This study used a cluster randomized controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of two approaches to increasing middle school students' science learning when using an inquiry-based science curriculum. Eighty-nine schools, with 253 teachers and 20,591 students, were randomly assigned into one of three conditions: (a) a treatment condition in…

The integration of technology in preservice teacher education is a critical aspect of preparing educators for the contemporary classroom. This systematic review, conducted from 2013 to 2023, seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of technological experiences within teacher education programs. Using an aggregative database and applying…

While many teachers are unaware that students in their classes are experiencing homelessness, others may not know how to support students who are identified as lacking consistent housing (Wright et al., 2019). Thus, there is a critical need to better assess, understand, and enhance teachers' knowledge and attitudes toward homelessness. Therefore,…

Selecting and sequencing instructional tasks to facilitate student learning (i.e. content development) is an important skill for physical education teachers. Research has shown that teachers often have little content development following an informing task. In addition, depth of specialized content knowledge (SCK) as expressed by the SCK-index is…

The importance given to information and communications technology integration (ICT) into language learning and teaching has been recorded over and over again by teachers, learners, curriculum makers and stake holders. It is highly appreciated if teachers can make use of technological tools in accordance with learning goals, learner needs and…

Recent studies have identified a growing need for educators to be trauma-informed. However, there is limited understanding of teacher trauma literacy or their professional learning and teaching experience. This study reports a new measure of teacher trauma literacy and is the first known study to assess the trauma and mental health literacy…

The importance of a critical and eco-socially conscious English language teacher education in Europe is considered in this study. Information is collected through a survey to assess the working practice of various teachers and their perceptions of English language teaching under an eco-social lens. New avenues are then suggested to build a…

Incorporating technologies with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into education requires a shift in teaching methodologies. However, little is known about how pre-service teachers perceive the relevance and challenges of this incorporation, particularly in mathematics education. This study investigates pre-service teachers' interactions…

Background/purpose. The role of early childhood education (ECE) teachers is very important in building the foundation of mathematics, such as recognizing counting, patterns, and problem solving. However, many teachers still face challenges in understanding mathematical concepts in depth. This study aims to investigate the level of Mathematical…

This paper interrogates the concept of recontextualisation and discusses its relevance for understandings of the knowledge required for teaching subjects. While various distinctive approaches to recontextualisation can be identified, this analysis primarily draws on the work of Bernstein, with recontextualisation discussed in the broader context…

Future mathematics teachers must integrate their knowledge of mathematics, pedagogy, and learners to effectively teach mathematics. Historically, these different forms of knowledge were taught separately in teacher preparation and left to the preservice teacher to integrate on their own. This raises the question; what resources can be leveraged to…
