As PhD students and sessional lecturers, we undertook a collaborative narrative study to explore our pedagogical and curricular approaches to decolonizing a community development course offered in our College of Education. We gathered our conversations, reflective journals, and notes, then wove together the narratives thematically using a…

Logical reasoning is very important in the child's development, increasing their performance in learning as a whole, improving their concentration and decision-making when solving problems. The introduction of this tool and stimulus from the first years of education is necessary for children to grow up with a broad and more critical view, being…

Building Thinking Classrooms (Liljedahl, 2021) provides teachers with a new method of designing and sequencing tasks called "thin slicing," which emerged from variation theory. The results of the present study indicate that an analysis of the dimensions and ranges of variation within such a task offers insights into learning…

For learners to be individuals equipped with the 21st-century skills when they start business life after graduation, they must be able to gain these skills during their education. However, due to their nature, it's not possible for students to acquire these skills under a specific course. For these skills to be achieved, they must be integrated…

In this paper, we present the findings from the first year of our study into the use of talk with young children (ages 6 and 7) in their mathematics lessons following four teachers' implementation of dialogic strategies. Based on Alexander's (2017) dialogic principles and notions of productive talk, we delivered a professional implementation…

The analysis emphasizes the fact that the responsibilities of modern teachers are becoming more complicated, following the…

We report the leadership of mathematics leaders who participated in a leadership intervention. Participation in the intervention was provoked by a tension in teaching practice concerned with a lack of challenge in mathematics teaching in the leaders' schools. We evidence how the mathematics leaders sought to address the tension they faced through…

This research aims to examine research on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Turkey in the 21st century. A qualitative approach was used in the sample of 43 studies conducted in Turkey between January/2001-January/2023, including research articles and theses in SEL.

Equitable and accessible classrooms should engage all learners with mathematics content in meaningful ways. However, practicing teachers need support from professional development (PD) to learn to teach with this ambitious vision. Informed by sociocultural theory, we employed an evaluative case study methodology to describe, explain, and assess…
