This study aims to examine the change in intentions and views about the integration, mathematics teaching self-efficacy, and mathematical literacy self-efficacy after an online education about mathematics and children's literature to pre-service pre-school, primary school, and elementary mathematics teachers. The research participants consisted of…

This study explored the competencies that pre-service teachers had for working with parents of school aged children. The experience that new teachers have in working with parents prior to their first teaching job is often limited by the opportunities they have in their teacher preparation programs.

This study explored the use of peer-assessment strategies for helping…

There is urgency for teacher educators to instruct preservice teachers in the tenants of social justice education. This urgency is based upon the American demographic landscape and the responsibility of educators to teach for social justice. Preservice teachers report feeling inadequately prepared to educate for social justice when entering the…

Case studies have become a popular vehicle for pre-service teachers to be introduced to the challenges of classroom teaching and participate in hypothetical classroom decision-making. Because of the similarity of case study instruction to those classroom structures proven to influence a student's adoption of mastery-approach goals, we expected…

Purpose: Teacher's behavioural intention in teaching science is one of the key determinants of students' learning outcomes. Thus, it is crucial to study which affective domains are contributed to teacher's behavioural intentions in teaching science. The present study aims to investigate the mediating effect of the dimensions of attitudes toward…

Classrooms present a diversity of learning needs for literacy instruction. Since at least one in five school-age children in the United States has learning and attention issues (Horowitz, Rawe, & Whittaker, 2017), the preparation of undergraduate preservice teachers necessitates curricula designed to strengthen their abilities to recognize…

The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between Visual Arts teacher candidates' media literacy, technology integration skills and STEM applications self-efficacy. The research, designed with the relational scanning model, was conducted with the participation of 204 Visual Arts teacher candidates. In order to collect the…

For preservice teachers, inclusive education practices are daunting, highlighting concerns around confidence, individualisation, and student behaviour. To explore this issue further, this study examined the perceptions of preservice Health and Physical Education (HPE) teachers on inclusion using a sequential, explanatory mixed-methods research…

The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between preservice teachers' cognitive flexibility levels and their teaching self-efficacy perceptions. Convenience sampling was used for the sample group of the study conducted according to the correlational survey model. The sample group consisted of 4th-year students who were studying in the…

This research implements and evaluates the effectiveness of targeted social emotional learning instruction on pre-service teachers' emotional resilience and perceived self-efficacy. These scaffolds provided pre-service teachers the opportunity to reflect on their teaching during practicum using resiliency tools in a discussion-based seminar. The…

The study took on a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. There…

The purpose of this study was to analyze what factors contribute to the self-efficacy/teacher efficacy (TE) of pre-service teachers (PSTs) as they instruct physical education (PE) to students with disabilities (SWDs). Self-efficacy theory, SET, (Bandura, 1977; Maddux, 2013) was used to make meaning of what SET tenets the PSTs found valuable as it…

This study investigated personalized adaptive learning, teacher education, and self-efficacy to determine if personalized adaptive teacher education can increase self-efficacy. It is suggested that teachers with higher self-efficacy tend to stay in the teaching profession longer. Chapters 2 and 3 are literature reviews on personalizing adaptive…

In this study, the correlation between the perceived self-efficacy, anxiety levels of prospective elementary school teachers in their mathematics education skills and the correlation between these factors and their professional belief levels were aimed to be measured. The sample of the study consists of 250 prospective elementary school teachers…
