More and more students attend university and a large number of those experience difficulties at some point throughout their degree. Furthermore, many students who experience difficulties in need of help from the universities' support services do not disclose their additional needs and/or disabilities (AND), and thus, little is known about this…

This study aimed to reignite the discussion of the elusive concept of teacher self-efficacy through the lens of Bandura's social cognitive theory and more specifically the Triadic Reciprocal Determinism model.

Career-change pre-service teachers appear to offer more to teaching due to the knowledge, experiences and mindset garnered from previous vocations. How these experiences contribute to this cohort's technology pedagogy is not well understood. This explanatory case study applied a social cognitive lens to investigate how incumbent technological…

Despite strong support for inclusive education in principle, many teachers and administrators still demonstrate mixed responses to the inclusion of certain students in their classrooms. Students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) form a large group of students in inclusive classrooms yet some provincial, state and national jurisdictions…
