To promote inclusive practices in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms, this research explores teacher candidates' (TCs') views and understandings of differentiated instruction (DI). The article addresses the following research questions: (1) What are intermediate-senior STEM TCs' initial views and understandings of…

Education is the foundation of everything. Teachers are the primary builders of quality education. The quality of education is enhanced by preparation before education, coordinated management of the education process, and reliable measurement and evaluation of educational outcomes. In this context, teachers' attitudes towards measurement and…

Studies related to teacher training in primary education indicate a lack of knowledge, low levels of teaching self-efficacy, and negative emotions towards the teaching of physics. The main objective of this research was to compare the influence of two teaching methodologies on the learning and teaching self-efficacy of teachers-in-training on…

Integrating Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for meaningful constructivist instruction has become essential in teacher education. This study investigated preservice teachers' intention to integrate ICT for constructivist learning from the perspectives of their Internet epistemic beliefs (IEB) and Internet-based learning…

The aim of this study is to test the effect of the flipped learning model in promoting student science teachers' (SSTs) research self-efficacy (RSE) and the predictor role of RSE on achievement grades (AG) in the context of research methods in education course. The study is designed as a multimethod research. The participants were 33 SSTs from…

Using a mixed methods design we quantitively examined how case-based instruction (CBI) influenced preservice teachers' (PSTs) cultural responsiveness teacher efficacy development across three classroom case studies. Qualitatively, we examined how PSTs were able to engage in self-insertion when writing about their reactions to the classroom cases.…

With over 44% of new teachers leaving the profession in the first five years, it is important for teacher education programs to consider how to prepare preservice teachers (PSTs) with the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to take on the challenges they will face in the K-12 school system (Ingersoll et al., 2018). Clinically rich methods courses…

The study examines pre-service mathematics teachers' perceptions of the integration of technology into algebra education. With the growing emphasis on technology in education, it is crucial to understand how pre-education teachers see technology and engage in it when teaching mathematics. The research aims to gain a view of their beliefs,…

The current study was conducted to investigate the relationship between occupational personality types, 21st-century skills, and teaching motivation. The study was conducted in the descriptive relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The study group consisted of all the students attending the Physical Education Teaching…

To address chronically low rates of academic achievement among students with disabilities, as well as the high rates of burnout and attrition among special educators, new models for educator professional learning are critically needed. The EXPERT professional learning (EXPERT-PL) model aims to develop early career special educator expertise in DBI…

The study aims to examine the relationships between pre-service teachers' ethnocultural competencies, their attitudes toward teaching national values, and their general competencies. The research employs a comparative relational survey method, characteristic of general survey models. The population consists of students enrolled in pedagogical…

In this study, teacher candidates' attitudes, self-efficacy perceptions towards inclusive education, and their situation towards in-class practices were determined. A total of a hundred thirty three pre-service teachers participated in the research voluntarily. The study was designed according to the parallel mixed methods research in which both…

Building the capacity of pre-service teachers to work in globalized cross-cultural environments is essential to cope with the challenges of the 21st century. This study establishes the value of internationally paired, authentically collaborative practicums with strong epistemological and positional framing in pursuing such capacity development. It…

The perception of self-efficacy introduced by Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory is defined as a person's view of their capacity to organize and carry out the activities necessary for success in a specific situation. The most effective mathematics teachers believe that they are a capable and important influence on their students'…

Prospective teachers' mathematics efficacy beliefs affect school placement experiences and influence later teacher behaviour and subsequent student outcomes. These efficacy beliefs are open to change during initial teacher education and become more resistant to change once the teacher enters the workforce. Therefore, it is important to measure…
