This paper sheds light on the professional experiences and identities of male educators of color (MEC) participating in monthly group gatherings throughout an academic year in a geographic region where male educators of color represent an inordinately low percentage of the overall school and district wide faculty. This paper examines how a group…

Denmark and Sweden have witnessed a historically significant amplification of parental influence in compulsory schools during the past two decades. The emphasis on parental involvement in these two countries reflects international trends of neoliberal governing of educational processes. We know very little about the interplay between beginning…

When Mikayla Helton, Stephanie Baer's preservice art education student, first asked what she thought about her creating and teaching a summer art class at a youth residential treatment center, Baer was intrigued and fearful. Nichols and Sullivan (2016) described the importance of experiencing dissonance as a young teacher, encountering contexts…

Although strong references to expertise in different theoretical approaches to teacher noticing have been made in the last decades, empirical knowledge about the development of teacher noticing from novice to expert level is scarce. The present study aims to close this research gap by comparing three different groups of mathematics teachers with…

Teachers' belief systems about the inclusion of students with special needs may explain gaps between policy and practice. We investigated three inter-related aspects of teachers' belief systems: teachers' cognitive appraisals (e.g., attitudes), emotional appraisal (e.g., feelings), and self-efficacy (e.g., agency to teach inclusive classrooms). To…

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of an undergraduate student research group with preservice teachers at a university in the Northeastern United States. Following the guidelines of Shanahan et al. (2015), university faculty provided intensive mentoring, scaffolded support, and instruction related to research evaluation…

We designed a course to provide undergraduate science students and preservice teachers with authentic research and teaching experiences. Teams of students and preservice teachers complete supervised field ecology research projects and develop teaching activities based on their research in order to learn practices in both science and science…

In research on EFL writing, much attention has been paid to teachers' practises in assessment or feedback, but little is known about teachers' behaviors in these two domains as a whole. There also seems to be a paucity of research on how teachers' reactions to student writing develop from pre- through in-service. The current study, using a…

Teacher preparation programs include a variety of field experiences designed to support preservice teacher growth including early field experiences, student teaching, and clinical internships. Limited research was available regarding how hosting a preservice teacher may result in long-term learning and professional growth (Bruemmer, 2018;…

COVID-19 drastically disrupted teaching and learning worldwide and across all educational levels. Technology took on a central role in redefining education under these exceptional circumstances and frequently revealed challenges related to both infrastructure and to teachers' and learners' technological skills and readiness. This study aimed to…

This study aims to explore the experience and training of pre-service and in-service teachers (n = 470) using visual diagrams. For this purpose, they answered a questionnaire regarding their training and experience with them throughout their entire education. The results show that teachers' experience with visual diagrams was very limited at all…

University Teaching Experience for Mathematics Prospective Teachers (UTEMPT), an NSF-funded collaborative project, has implemented an innovative version of early field experiences in order to provide preservice mathematics teachers an opportunity to make a meaningful connection between methods-course-content and teaching practices in a college…

For over a decade, we have seen a global shift toward preparing students for the predicted labor market and society through the introduction of digital technology curricula. This scoping review uncovered 26 studies published between 2012 and 2022 that examined empirical research on K-12 or pre-service teachers' experiences with Digital…

The study examined how prospective teachers defined effective teaching, the methods and techniques used by preservice teachers during their teaching practicum and their reasons to use them, and how these instructional techniques fit specific teaching principles. The participants in this study were 18 university seniors registered in the Primary…

What pupils learn in school should ideally be useful throughout their whole lives. It should help them in further studies, in working life, and when acting as responsible citizens in democratic society. This is challenging for all subjects, including technology. Technology develops fast. It is most likely that wheels, wedges, and inclined planes…
