While teacher education candidates and faculty have improved their knowledge and skills with technology, challenges remain regarding their understanding of how to integrate technology effectively within their pedagogical practices. One solution is to provide models of purposeful technology integration within instruction that embeds digital…

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of distance learning system on academic standing of education faculty's students at Yozgat Bozok University. Education faculties are one of the leading educational institutions where students and teachers' interaction is at the highest level. The education provided in these institutions is highly…

In today's schools, the ability to integrate technology into the teaching and learning environment is a necessary and crucial skill. Many K-12 classroom environments are technology-rich, with 1:1 devices, blended learning, and even distance instruction taking place. However, new teachers often enter the classroom unprepared to successfully utilize…

Noticing and interpreting classroom events (professional vision) is an important element of preservice teachers' (PSTs) interpersonal competence. This paper presents a mixed-method study about a classroom simulation using 360-degree videos combined with theoretical lectures in teacher education, intended to improve PSTs' interpretations of noticed…

This study focused on early childhood preservice teachers' perceptions of online technology, service learning, and their understanding of their role as community leaders through service learning. A survey was conducted among preservice early childhood teachers in Taiwan. The questionnaire was comprised of three factors: online engagement, civic…

Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)-based educational applications in education. As pre-service teachers' attitudes towards educational technology that utilizes AI have a potential impact on the learning outcomes of their future students, it is essential to know more…

This article focuses on using simulations of practice in teacher education. We studied preservice teachers' engagement with a popular simulations platform, which creates "mixed-reality simulations" of five digital avatars controlled by a single live interactor. Because simulations are only an approximation of real practice, our…

Preparing future teachers is a complex endeavor, yet there are tools that help prepare preservice teachers (PST). One tool is digital video (DV). DV provides opportunities for PST to see and hear themselves teach and make the needed corrections in their lessons and activities. This study examined the accounts of elementary education majors'…

Teaching with technology is a required skill for today's teachers and the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) is a commonly used framework that is used to assess the effective usage of this skill. In this framework, teachers' knowledge is assessed under various individual and blended knowledge domains. The effect of contextual…

Today, as more and more people enroll to higher education, educational authorities, and institutions continually need to update their curricula and to find alternative and innovative ways to support the active participation of learners. Student Response Systems (SRSs) have become one of the most common tools used in today's classrooms. Along with…

Research on pre-service teachers' discussion practices has focused on decompositions of practice into subskills, while acknowledging the importance of the role of context, identity, and relationships between interactive moves. We focused on 66 elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs') framing-launching moves in discussions after problem-solving in a…

Purpose: There are different perspectives about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Understanding in-service and pre-service teachers' views plays an important role in supporting K-12 students to choose careers in science, technology and engineering. This research aims to understand science and mathematics in-service…

This study aimed to investigate how international students draw on their own cultural identity to reflect on their teaching practice in a simulated classroom in the Australian context. Each simulated teaching session that the students participated in was recorded and sent to the pre-service teachers for later review and reflection. The pre-service…

Educational technologies can enhance both learning and teaching. Potential benefits of such technologies are documented in the literature. The use of educational technologies in teacher education classroom is highly recommended by educational researchers and national education associations. Teacher education programs can play a critical role in…
