Teacher educators have sought to understand the challenges associated with teaching predominantly White teacher candidates about race, racism, power, and privilege and preparing them to teach and act for racial and social justice. In this article, I build on this work by exploring (1) how White teacher candidates express race-consciousness upon…

Curriculum resources are integral to teaching, yet more could be known about preservice teachers' curricular use when planning mathematics lessons. Framed with a consideration toward teachers' pedagogical design capacity, this study explores the decisions preservice teachers make when presented with four curricular resources and tasked with…

We investigated whether the mathematics studied in 2 content courses of an elementary teacher preparation program was retained and used by graduates when completing tasks measuring knowledge for teaching mathematics. Using a longitudinal design, we followed 2 cohorts of prospective teachers for 3 to 4 years after graduation. We assessed…

In this study, I engage in the intercultural phenomenological analysis of discovering and naming marginalized and undervalued desires in a teacher education space. Based on Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) conceptualization of desire, I challenge the understanding of desire as an absence or a lack. I focus on an Asian American female student's story…

Problem Statement: Self-efficacy is not a passive characteristic or determiner of the self-system, but a dynamic aspect of the other factors that make up the self-system such as the capacity to do work, the success one experiences in that work, motives and self-regulation mechanisms. The self-efficacy perception level of the undergraduate students…

Background: The relationship between attitudes and behaviour has led to a focus on the role played by attitudes in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Purpose: This paper reports on an investigation into studentteachers' self-reported attitudes towards mathematics in the context of a mathematics education programme. The programme had been…

The main purpose of this study is to develop a disaster awareness scale to determine the disaster consciousness of teacher candidates. The study group consisted of 820 preservice teacher who studied in different departments of Kirsehir Kirsehir Ahi Evran University Faculty of Education in the 2016- 2017 academic year. Of the pre-service teachers…

The purpose of the study is to investigate the elementary education undergraduate students' understanding levels of one dimensional motion which they take in the compulsory general physics course in the second year, third term and instructors' predictions about the students' responses. The study is a descriptive study. The data of the study were…

The concept of student teaching practice is globally rooted in training pre-service teachers to work within diverse schools and learner populations, in dissimilar contexts. It is also a drive towards the development of knowledge, professionalism, sense of efficacy, and flexibility in their performance and interactions. There is seemingly little…

Centering on cognitive and reflective development of pre-service primary school teachers, this study aimed to contribute new understanding of how teacher identity is formed through increased teacher self-efficacy by preservice teachers trained in cognitive coaching developed by the researcher. Its purpose was three-fold: examining the impact of…

This study examined 388 elementary education teacher candidates (n = 388) across four semesters in one educator preparation program about their experiences completing the performance-based assessment edTPA. Candidates were in one of three programs at a large, public research university in the Southeast region of the United States. These programs…

Inclusive education has become a primary educational goal in many countries that aim to end the exclusion of students with different needs. However, we still know little about the perspectives of teachers regarding the exclusion of students with different needs. Given that background, the present study used semi-structured clinical interviews to…

A summative portfolio is a project completed at the end of the semester that gives a student an opportunity to look at a course as a whole. This study investigates whether collegiate mathematics students gain a deeper understanding of course material through the portfolio project, via an analysis of the students' work, and a survey of students'…

The effects of peer coaching on the development of effective teaching behaviors of education students in an early field experience in special education were examined at a large public university in the southern United States. Training methods included online video instruction on targeted effective teaching behaviors including establishing student…

Science teaching emerged due to an attempt to understand the world around us and a sense of wonder at nature and survived until today by means of being supported by new research and findings. The implementation of science in schools is carried out with curriculums. The main purpose of the curriculum of science courses is to train all students in…
