Teacher education research, by and large, has been profoundly influenced by psychological interpretations of beliefs, particularly the assumption that teachers attempt to reconcile, rationalize, minimize, or avoid contradictions. Building on research across multiple disciplines, which demonstrates that people live harmoniously with contradictions…

In this article, the authors explore how the 3C Model can be used to integrate other curriculum areas with mathematics, namely digital technologies. To illustrate the model, they provide a practical example of a teaching sequence. T he 3C Model is designed to create opportunities for applying reasoning and problem-solving skills and learning…

This study was aimed at designing and developing a learner-centered curriculum course for pre-service early childhood teachers considering their expectations, supporting active creation of lesson plans, and investigating course effectiveness. Participant self-reflections and course assistant feedback regarding lesson plans were gathered. At the…

Purpose: Teacher noticing is a critical aspect of teaching competence that has garnered significant scholarly attention. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the integration of teacher noticing into lesson study, exploring how different stages of lesson study influence the development of teacher noticing.…

It is important that educators understand how to adapt their health education lessons to ensure they are inclusive of all students. This article provides six strategies for teaching health education to students with intellectual disabilities, both in the classroom and in physical education class, to improve their health literacy.

This article presents an extension of the well-known TPACK model to describe the professional digital competencies of mathematics teachers. The extension leads to what we want to call MPC-model (Media-Pedagogy-Content) in the following. It additionally includes (1) the consideration of competencies instead of knowledge for a holistic description,…

The development of professional digital competencies is an important condition for a meaningful integration of digital technologies in mathematics education. A widely used and empirically studied approach for the professional development of in-service teachers are teacher design teams, in which lessons are collaboratively planned, implemented and…

This study aimed to prepare, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a professional development program that develops Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of teacher educators. Qualitative research methods were used. The research was carried out with 10 teacher educators from different departments. Pre- and post-interviews were…

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that shape pre-service teachers' (PSTs) online teaching practices within the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework. Ten science PSTs and nine mathematics PSTs who experienced the practical part face-to-face and the theoretical part online of the Teaching Practice 2 course…

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…

The 6E Learning by Design (LbD) model can enhance student teachers' development of competence for integrating technologies in the classrooms including Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, teacher educators rarely use the 6E LbD model in supporting and encouraging student teachers to integrate AI applications in their classrooms effectively. To…

A three-phase "task-first" lesson structure is frequently suggested when teaching mathematics through inquiry. We investigate how secondary school teachers of mathematics structure their inquiry lessons and examine how and why they deviate from a "task-first" structure. We present detailed lesson observation data from three…

In 2010 the American Management Association Critical Skills Survey found that three out of four (75.7 percent) executives believed 21st Century Skills would become more important to organizations as the economy grew toward a global marketplace. The problem to be addressed was how high school teachers in the Midwest were integrating 21st Century…

This research used a correlational design to describe and test the linear relationship between teachers' perceptions of teaching students' thinking skills and their skills when constructing HOTS lesson plans. The participants were 27 PE teachers undergoing in-service training in the Teacher Professional Education Program. Data on teacher…

The study explores implementing a didactical design approach in elementary school students learning mathematical concepts such as factors and multiples. This research was conducted over four meetings at one of the elementary schools in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research subjects consisted of one class teacher and seventeen…
