The primary aim of this study is to determine the current state in education faculties and faculty members' needs for a professional training program that would be prepared for their TPACK development. Case study design, a qualitative research method, was employed, and semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 faculty members.…

The present research investigated the possibility to foster positive classroom climate, achievement emotions, and adaptive beliefs about errors by manipulating teachers' error handling strategies. Through a pre-post experimental design, teachers' error handling strategies were manipulated during a fictitious lesson in the primary school context.…

In this third and final paper from the Delphi study One Direction, we report on participants' responses to four secondary school music curriculum scenarios. These scenarios present four possible directions for a C21 secondary school music curriculum. The scenarios were devised from a combination of ideas derived from the data from the earlier…

Classroom pedagogy has a big role to play in developing democratic citizens. Henry Giroux proposes pedagogy of democratization that puts particular emphasis on problematizing the threats to democratic values for ensuring democratization. Literature on classroom pedagogies for democratization proposes to promote democratic practices in the…

Prior research indicates that empathy can help engineers achieve better outcomes in team-based, design, entrepreneurial, and humanitarian environments. We describe an educational innovation designed to teach engineering students empathic communication skills. Written in the spirit of a propagation (versus dissemination) paradigm, we focus on how…

This study reviewed the published papers on the flipped classroom in nursing education from 2010 to 2017, and tabulated the collected data from various aspects: "before-class stage/ in-class stage/ after-class stage learning strategies," "application domains," "research issues," "participants,"…

Student teachers (STs) were asked to reflect on their experiences of watching videos of their own and their peers' teaching and to generate and share metaphors of the experience. Qualitative analysis of their metaphorical explanations revealed the cognitive, emotional and motivational responses associated with the STs' video-viewing experiences.…

Background: Understanding students' preconceptions is an important initial step towards a successful and meaningful learning in physics. This is more relevant and important especially for concepts that are introduced formally as early as preschool including friction. Visual representation maybe often used as an aid to teaching, however,…

The teaching of mathematics is mostly done with tasks that learners and teachers do or solve, in and outside of class. These tasks, which are used to illustrate concepts in mathematics, are referred to in this paper as examples in mathematics. Examples that teachers choose and use are fundamental to what mathematics is taught and learned, and what…

Augmented Reality (AR) has been applied to education in a variety of subjects, but in comparison to AR in STEM education, research on integrating pedagogical designs with AR in language learning is less mature. This study presents an AR-supported Chinese character learning game designed for young learners and investigates its effects on learners'…

Mobile serious games are increasingly utilized as educational tools in elementary schools, and a considerable body of research has focused on evaluating such games' educational effectiveness. However, such work has generally ignored learning processes, and especially how knowledge is constructed. Given the important role of knowledge construction…

Despite shifting to emergency remote teaching, a teacher's role and responsibility was to keep teaching their course to the same high academic standards as before COVID-19 upended our community. Meeting this challenge, without being able to use many well-established teaching practices, was also an unwanted opportunity to learn and experiment with…

Designing and implementing online or digital learning material is a demanding task for teachers. This is even more the case when this material is used for more engaged forms of learning, such as inquiry learning. In this article, we give an informed account of Go-Lab, an ecosystem that supports teachers in creating Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs).…

A grandmother attempts to teach her four-year-old granddaughter the multiplication tables using simple repetition, but they repeatedly start over at 'three fives'; the child keeps coming up with 'thirty-five'. We consider three possible explanations: self-perpetuating frequency of behavior, saliency of memory and Vygotsky's next or proximal zones…

As teacher education aims to prepare thoughtfully adaptive teachers, programs have begun to examine a practice-focused approach. One movement focuses on the pedagogy of teacher education, including how practice is unpacked, decomposed, for teacher candidates. This paper examines the pedagogy of decomposition in a U.S. based practice-focused…
