Peer assessment has been proven to improve learning for both the observer and the observed. One dimension of peer assessment that has been given little attention in the context of physical education teacher education (PETE) is the tension that exists when peers give feedback on each other's work. In this paper, we report on Swedish preservice…

A crucial competence for mentor teachers is the ability to analyse classroom practices as they are expected to model effective teaching practices and to provide feedback to student teachers. This ability is referred to in the literature as professional vision. The present study assesses mentor teachers' (n = 137) professional vision regarding…

The vast literature on teacher professional development (PD) often assumes that the success of a PD programme should be measured by the extent to which the participating teachers accept and adopt, often in a relatively linear chain, the programme of learning, paying insufficient attention to how highly accomplished teachers respond to PD…

In this paper, we take an ecological view of children's development to argue that preventive interventions should move beyond separating the microsystems of school and home to create new intergenerational spaces for nurturing mental wellbeing. Using the 5A's theory of creativity, we draw upon our experiences of creative writing to explore how…

This study examines the understanding of a linguistically responsive teaching framework (LRT) among pre-service teachers (PSTs). This study employed a mixed-method approach. The quantitative data did not demonstrate statistically significant differences between bi-/multilingual and monolingual PSTs in their responses to the LRT framework. However,…

Current school students, citizens of the future, will inherit urgent, complex, ethically challenging real world problems affecting social and environmental sustainability, such as anthropogenic climate change. Therefore, they must be prepared at school to understand the diverse issues underpinning anthropogenic climate change so they can make…

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to explore the developmental stages of a community of practice (CoP) and its impact on teachers' professional learning. Methods: Eight physical education (PE) teachers and one professor participated in this project, which specifically examined a CoP focused on PE (PE-CoP). Interviews and observations, as…

The INSITE (In-School Initial Teacher Education) executive mentoring and coaching program seeks to combine the key influencing factors (as identified within the research literature) for successful transition into, and retention in, the teaching profession. The program provides support that begins at the commencement of an Initial Teacher Education…

Teachers' emotional exhaustion is related to various detrimental outcomes, such as work absenteeism, intention to quit, impaired instructional quality, and lower student motivation. Since emotional exhaustion becomes evident as early as teacher training at university, the question is whether it would be possible to identify an individual…

Dyslexia impacts an estimated 5%-17% of children in the United States is the most prevalent disability in schools in the USA (D'Mello & Gabrieli, 2018; Johnston, 2019; Peltier et al., 2020). The problem addressed in this study was that general education teachers often feel unprepared to effectively support dyslexic learners in their classrooms…

Building upon self-determination theory and the circumplex approach, the objective of this study was to adapt the Situations-in-School-Physical Education (SIS-PE) questionnaire and to gather validity and reliability evidence in the Spanish PE context. Three samples of 1441 students (46.43% girls), 473 in-service teachers (35.73% women), and 654…

Research competencies can empower teachers to inquire into their work and innovate in the field. In particular, conceptual competencies in consuming empirical research (CCER) are expected of K-12 teachers, but little is known about how teachers develop CCER. To address this gap, the authors conducted a case study with 12 teachers enrolled in a…

The form of Physical Education (PE) teacher selection matters in that, as a system of rules (i.e. institution), it shapes the practices of Initial Teacher Education (ITE), including pre-service PE teachers' daily preparation for teaching qualification and employment. This article examines the secondary PE teacher selection examination as one of…

This article draws on a classroom project to explore the complexities of collaborative teaching within the music classroom, where a professional team collaborated to facilitate digital music-making at a lower secondary school in Norway during a student teacher practicum placement. The collaborative team, including in-service and pre-service…

This study aimed to develop a specific Mathematical Content Knowledge (MCK) test focused on multiplication for pre-service mathematics teachers in Indonesia and Türkiye. No assessment tool exists to measure MCK related to multiplication among pre-service mathematics teachers. We used convenience sampling to obtain data from third- and fourth-year…
