Emerging technologies in education, such as wearable devices, tangible user interfaces, virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotics can support learners' motivations, achievement, engagement, and collaboration skills. However, knowledge of teachers' intentions to adopt and utilize emerging technologies are limited. In this study, a path…

While once forbidden in classrooms, laughter is increasingly encouraged as contributing to a positive learning environment.

Teachers' organisational citizenship behavior has a significant impact on students learning outcome in particular, as well as the overall effectiveness of the school. The main purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to critically explore the practices and demurrals of primary school teachers' organisational citizenship behaviors in…

The concept of teacher "practical knowledge" (PK), with its emphasis on the intuitive and situated nature of teaching practice, has provided a compelling approach to understanding what underlies teaching practice.

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has emerged as a crucial 21st century competence that benefits students' studies, future careers, and general well-being, prevailing across disciplines and learning approaches. Given the complex and dynamic nature of CPS, teacher-facing learning analytics dashboards (LADs) have increasingly been adopted to…

This study aims to identify the gaps in the Theory of Planned Behavior literature and to determine the general trends in studies in the field of educational sciences within the context of the Theory of Planned Behavior, to generate recommendations on improving the educational processes by revealing the effect this theory has on educational…

Although recent research has focused on teachers' attitudes concerning inclusive education, studies on teachers' concerns about heterogeneity in inclusive education and on the implementation of inclusive teaching into their educational practice are sparse. Based on the concerns-based adoption model, the present study investigated whether there are…

Young children often look to their teachers for affection and acceptance, particularly if they are sick or upset. However, many male primary teachers do not feel comfortable with this aspect of their role. Consequently, many men choose not to make physical contact with their students in order to protect themselves from accusations of inappropriate…

Although data-based decision making is an evidence-based practice, many special educators have difficulty applying the practice within daily routines. We applied the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to understand the influences that promote or hinder early childhood special educators' intentions to collect data. We assessed three influences on…
