This paper describes a qualitative case study conducted in the Intermountain Western United States during the Fall of 2020. Though a few years old, the study remains relevant due to its esoteric subject within research on media production professional development education. Study's purpose was to explore the processes and participants of an…

This qualitative case study explored an elementary foundations mathematics course and the mathematics vocabulary elementary pre-service teachers (PSTs) encounter at various stages in their preparation as mediated by curriculum, standards, and assessment materials. Guided by the theoretical lens of a constructivism-informed conceptual framework,…

A recent review of literature in topic of rate of change mostly highlighted students and teachers' difficulties in handling conceptual questions. This initiated the researcher to investigate the Malaysian pre-service mathematics teacher's subject matter knowledge in rate of change through a case study design. A task-based interview was conducted…

Band directors have a strong sense of the traditions of band when they begin teaching. They learned these traditions as students in band and through music education coursework. They also have unique personal histories that influence the ways in which they perpetuate or alter these traditions. The variety of personal and professional experiences…

Teacher education programs worldwide have adopted the goal of promoting an inquiry stance among teacher candidates. Such programs commonly ground teacher candidates' clinical practice in practitioner inquiry -- a cyclical, systematic, and intentional process supported by inquiry communities. While democratic and justice-oriented purposes are…

Achieving deeper and permanent learning has always been the focus of teaching force. This purpose is independent of the teaching level or subject matter. Pre-service teachers' lack of interest and inability to connect learning levels are partly cited for their inability to develop this deeper and permanent learning of science concepts. In this…

Analogical reasoning is considered to be a critical cognitive skill in programming. However, it has been rarely studied in a block-based programming context, especially involving both virtual and physical objects. In this multi-case study, we examined how novice programming learners majoring in early childhood education used analogical reasoning…

In this study, we explored how a reimagined EdD supports leaders to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for effective school and district leadership. We analyzed the usefulness of inquiry-focused, equity-based participatory action research (PAR) in EdD dissertations by using case study methodology to analyze four graduates…

Many teacher preparation programs have a commitment to preparing teachers who teach equitably. However, current research shows that many teachers struggle to move beyond theoretical understandings into practical enactments once they enter inhospitable teaching contexts. This case study examines the effect of co-creating a conceptual framework of…

Mathematics teacher educators have suggested preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') practices provide evidence of their mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). PMTs engage in approximations of practice to rehearse teaching. To explore connections between MKT and PMTs' practices, we operationalized six MKT subdomains in terms of approximations…

This study was intended to explore how the perceptions of teachers affect multicultural education (MCE) in diversified classrooms at Hosanna College of Education. A descriptive textual narration with a qualitative case study and purposive sampling research design were employed in this study. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were…

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a teaching approach that aims to achieve learning for students of diverse backgrounds, abilities, and interests. This study explores STEM teacher candidates' (TCs') development of DI-focused curriculum using case studies of socio-scientific issues (SSI). The paper addresses the following research question: How…

This paper analyses, using a cross-sectional design, the relationship between academic qualifications during the initial training of primary school teachers and their professional development. Among all graduates of 13 promotions, from year 2004 to 2016, we selected the 15% of those students with the best qualifications and the 15% with the worst…

This paper describes results from a case study about how a primary pre-service teacher (PST) used curriculum materials (CMs) when planning for a mathematics lesson during her final practicum. The data is drawn from a doctoral study (in progress) and results show how the PST initiated an active process of searching for and sifting through CMs on a…
