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…

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…

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…

One model of engineering integration that has shown promise is the use of engineering design as a context to support teachers as they conceptualize and plan integrated STEM lessons. However, integrating engineering into science instruction presents a number of challenges, especially at the elementary level, and the implementation of high-quality…

Lesson study has attracted the attention of teachers and teacher educators over the past two decades, and practices vary from region to region and from school to school. This study, as a conceptual discussion paper, aims to discuss the modes of coordination of lesson study at the school level, based on comparative institutional analysis (CIA). CIA…

Research has shown that the ways in which teachers engage in professional development activities vary widely. identified three levels of teacher appropriation within professional development, with their inquiry stance indicative of teachers engaging in self-sustaining practices. In our project, we modified the demonstration lesson format so that…

Within a single internet search, thousands of results occur when looking for a lesson or mathematics activity. However, the results are not all of good quality. In this article, the authors present a mathematics lesson planning protocol (MLP[superscript 2]) to help process the search results and offer experiences of teachers using the protocol.…

Learning how to plan a lesson is central to teacher education, yet there is only little research so far that has investigated how well student teachers write lesson plans. The aim of this paper, therefore, was to explore the competence of student teachers in lesson planning, with a special focus on the Cameroonian context. More specifically, the…

In this article we focus on note taking as a practice that is fundamental to (higher) education. We argue that note-taking should not primarily be regarded as a method that supports effective learning, but as formative of the student herself (making her attentive and granting possibilities for self-transformation). Hence it is a practice that has…

Charles Darwin would be pleased to know that elementary school children in states that have adopted the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) are expected to demonstrate their understanding of several core evolutionary concepts, including trait variation and inheritance, fossils and extinct organisms, common ancestry, natural…

In this paper I account for the role of guiding intuitions in teaching, focusing on the intuitions formed in the process of lesson planning. I start (in section one) by reviewing some research on lesson planning to locate the role of intuition in the process. I then turn to Wertheimer's and Kohler's gestalt psychology (section two) and Dewey's…

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a research-based learning management plan microbiology and its impact on vocational education certificate students in the Animal Science department at Mahasarakham College of Agriculture and Technology. The research instruments included five research-based learning plans of microorganisms and…

The Multimodalities-Entextualization Cycle (MEC), proposed by Lin (2015, Conceptualizing the potential role of L1 in content and language integrated learning (CLIL). "Language, Culture and Curriculum," 28(1), 74-89), is a curriculum model designed for teachers to systematically incorporate translanguaging in lessons. Limited studies have…
