Lesson study is a Japanese concept to improve teaching and learning mathematics through a particular form of activity in which a group of teachers works collaboratively to plan, implement, observe, and reflect on the proposed research lessons. Although lesson study is internationally acknowledged as providing key learning opportunities for…

Transformative pedagogy is based on the principle that learning requires concerted effort to critically examine beliefs, values, and assumptions, and places learners at the heart of the learning process. The development of pre-service teachers' lesson planning skills is considered key in raising effective teachers to close the gap between theory…

Classroom management is a recurrent topic in the context of teacher education in online, face-to-face and hybrid educational context. The skills of classroom management are one of the most considerable issues of the pre-service teachers. Thus, the teacher educators should make them equip with the classroom management skills. This study focuses on…

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has disrupted the process of teaching and learning in various ways. In particular, lesson planning in rural English first additional language (FAL) classrooms has been disrupted. As a result, there is a need to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural English FAL teachers' lesson planning. To achieve this…

This study revealed how the flipped learning model interacted with the learning styles of primary pre-service teachers. In addition, the impact of the flipped model on participants' science teaching course achievement and personal epistemologies was investigated. A mixed-method research design was conducted with 27 primary pre-service teachers…

Technology may promote student engagement in high-level learning processes in the classroom. Yet, whether teachers really exploit technology's potential to support student learning depends on their expertise. The authors compared pre-service and technology-experienced in-service teachers' reasoning about technology-enhanced lessons by means of…

Access to drinking water is becoming more limited as drought persists across continents. This article highlights a particularly impacted group of students due to increasing drought conditions and upstream river pollution near their reservation. While there are related water and modeling standards across the K-12 Next Generation Science Standards…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is essential for independent active learners. Despite its importance, supporting students' SRL is often challenging for teachers who lack the necessary knowledge and skills for in-class SRL practices. Hence, there is a need to support teachers' SRL: both as learners--how to self-regulate their own learning, and as…

This study aims to investigate the virtual class management experiences of teachers. The research was designed by adopting a qualitative research approach. The maximum variation sampling method, one of the purposive sampling methods, was used while determining the study group of the research. In this context, interviews were conducted with 18…

Origami became an increasingly used instructional tool in mathematics education and its successful use depends on developing adequate origami-based mathematics lesson plans. Therefore, this study investigated origami-based mathematics lesson plans developed by pre-service teachers who were trained for the effective use of origami in mathematics…

In this study, a technology-supported teaching module was designed to support the advancement of critical thinking as determined by Facione (1990). The lesson plans of the designed teaching module were applied to future mathematics teachers in primary schools. In the study, worksheets constitute teaching model applications lesson plans and it is…

This article explores one novice mathematics teacher educator's initial use of the Mathematical Quality in Planning Protocol, an innovative tool that was developed to assist in providing feedback on the mathematical quality of novice mathematics teachers' lesson plans. The protocol was devised to help mathematics teacher educators bridge the gap…

The purpose of this article is to provide the practicing teacher with a planning tool that helps infuse National Health Education Standard (NHES) 1 with NHES 2-8 and social-emotional learning competencies and sub-competencies in their lessons and units. Because the focus on the social and emotional learning of students is in high demand given the…

This study aims to reveal science teachers' performances in designing TPACK-based argumentation practices for teaching geology. This study used a holistic single case study design where thirty-two science teachers participated in a professional development program. All materials such as videos, etc. used by the teachers and the Pedagogical…

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the findings of science teachers' STEM lesson plan preparation skills and self-assessment forms and to examine their views on STEM applications. STEM education is an effort based on the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to help individuals gain economic strength, enabling…
