This study aims to compare two different learning environments designed online in terms of their contributions to the development of mathematical modelling competencies. In the research, which was designed with the triangulation method, among the mixed research methods in which the qualitative and quantitative research methods are used together.…

How have public sector austerity and the outsourcing of school provision under the Academies programme affected the state school workforce in England? Existing research claims that teachers are being substituted by cheaper support staff and that schools are becoming increasingly dominated by managers. However, these claims focus on the period…

As an essential community of practice which could facilitate teachers' professional development and enrich research in teacher education, the teacher--researcher partnership (TRP) has not been sufficiently investigated in China. As reported in this paper, we conducted an empirical study on TRPs between secondary school mathematics teachers and…

Teacher education in the English as a foreign language context has witnessed a shift from only emphasising expert-generated professional theories to combining such theories with teacher-generated personal theories. However, little is known about whether such a combination is beneficial in preparing pre-service English teachers to teach reading…

This study explores eight teacher narratives related to pre-trip preparation for the 2018 South Korea Research Trip sponsored by the Korean War Legacy Foundation (KWLF). The trip is an annual event, entering its 4th year, that immerses primary, secondary and post-secondary teachers in Korean culture. Utilising Narrative Inquiry, we explored…

This study examined how expert and novice (preservice) teachers solved mathematical modelling tasks as well as how they noticed written artifacts of student thinking that were in response to the mathematical modelling tasks. Some teachers in both groups were aware of the openness and underdetermination of the modelling tasks and that these…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) can be designed with different pedagogical approaches and course components as in face-to-face courses. In this context, the development of some standards and field-specific design principles related to MOOCs is seen as a critical step for the creation of quality online courses. The aim of this study is to…

For decades, the gap between theory and practice has remained the central problem of teacher education. This study will present an alternative approach in an attempt to try to bridge the gap between theory and practice in a teacher education course focused on inclusive education. The approach is based on a model that integrates a university-based…

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…

The Intermediate System of schooling, which operated in Ireland between 1878 and 1922, has, generally, been considered limited in ambition and as having generated a culture of high-stake terminal examinations. This article seeks a more nuanced understanding of the system and proposes that, despite an evolving system of secondary provision in…

Dadaab, Kenya is the site of the first university teacher education program created by a consortium of institutions (UBC, York, Moi, Kenyatta) within the Borderless Higher Education for Refugees. Dadaab is also the host town to what has been described as the largest protracted refugee camp, at its peak nearly a half million residents. Here, four…

This study examined prospective secondary mathematics teachers' professional noticing of students' reasoning about mean and variability as described in a current statistics curriculum in the USA. Six prospective mathematics teachers were asked to analyse students' written solutions to statistics problems, constructed at the two levels described in…

In this article, the author describes a task given to pre-service secondary school mathematics teachers. By exposing them to a relatively simple mathematics process, it was hoped that their ability to plan and implement lessons for their own students would be enhanced.

The aim of the study was to determine the arithmetic and algebraic problem-solving approaches of prospective mathematics teachers in the Department of Elementary Mathematics Education, and mathematics teachers in secondary schools. The study adopted mixed methods research design using exploratory sequential pattern. The participants of the study…

Uncovering patterns and trends in vast, ever-increasing quantities of data has been enabled by different machine learning methods and techniques used in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. Permeating many aspects of our lives and influencing our choices, development in this field continues to advance and increasingly impacts us as individuals…
