This article problematizes the impact of the organization of work-integrated learning (WIL) teacher education on student teachers' learning at university. The perceptions of university teachers on WIL student's potential for learning within university-based components are explored. The theoretical perspective of boundary crossing is used to…

In this video the researcher presents preliminary findings from a research and development project (Gynne et al., 2022; Sert et al., 2020) that integrated a digital video tagging tool into the teacher practicum in Sweden. The project involved recording of lessons with the VEO app (Miller and Haines 2021; Sert 2019, 2021), and the use of the…

The teacher attrition rate has drawn serious attention, but the extreme turnover in rural minority communities has become a crisis. To address it, one university's Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) partnered with local districts to offer paid yearlong residencies. In the residency model, residents receive income, intensive support, and…

This study analyzed elementary preservice teachers' (PST) participation in an equity-oriented digital clinical simulation administered in a science methods course. Using the Teacher Moments' open access platform, PSTs completed the simulation, To Intervene or Not, about two students from historically minoritized communities who appeared disengaged…

Using the Danielson Framework for Teaching, we compare educators' perceptions of the effectiveness of traditional and co-teaching student teaching models. This study frames student teaching as a community of practice with Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development as a key feature of the experience. This study uses a mixed methods sequential design.…

A deeper understanding of the pre-primary teacher's profession is made possible by the use of pictures in pedagogical research, i.e. the hermeneutic analysis of symbols visually representing this profession. The study seeks comprehension through quantification of the thematic motifs in the students' pictures (n = 132) as well as a detailed…

The culminating experience of the student teaching internship provides the preservice teacher (PST) a unique opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to practice. It is a time to develop critical thinking skills, pedagogy and practical knowledge learned from their courses (Rhoads et al., 2013; Turvey & Hayler, 2017). A quality internship…

A pedagogical dilemma occurs when an in-class event or external factor challenges a teacher's principles or instructional practices and compels the teacher to resolve the dilemma. This article focuses on how resolving dilemmas can enhance the conceptual understanding of both student teachers and their supervisors. The supervisory setting this…

Despite a plethora of studies on how to teach critical thinking (CT) in different subject classrooms, there is limited research on how teachers foster their CT and learn to teach CT through pre-service teacher education. Such a gap gives impetus to the present study, which seeks to examine to what extent and how a group of student teachers are…

Much research describes how mentor and novice teachers interact when pupils are not present (e.g., co-planning, debriefing). However, little research investigates how mentor/novice pairs interact when K-12 students are present. This gap in the literature is significant because research suggests that without intentional mediation, novices often…

The integration of task-based language teaching (TBLT) and virtual learning environments (VLEs) has shown potential in improving students' learning outcomes. However, mixed results suggest that further investigation is needed to determine the most effective use of mobile technology devices in language learning. This study aims to contribute to the…

The dramatic adoption of digital technology has raised enormous ethical concerns within the education community. This study explored educational stakeholders' perspectives on the place of ethical literacy regarding the use of technology in initial teacher education (ITE) in Tanzania. Also, it inquired about the reasons for their perspectives and…

The preparation of student teachers to be effective teachers of writing requires attention to both their writing skills and their personal confidence. When teachers have confidence in themselves as writers and strong writer identities, they are likely to better placed to develop strong writer identities in their own students. It is suggested…

In 2019, the Department for Education introduced the core content framework (CCF) in initial education in England. The framework, which has been criticised for being heavily shaped by research from cognitive science, has, inadvertently, become the baseline curriculum for initial teacher education. This article explores how experiential learning is…

Teachers' communication skills are integral to classroom management skills. If teachers implement effective communication skills and appropriate communication strategies, they are more likely to support learner autonomy, engagement, self-concept, well-being, or responsibility and succeed in behaviour management. This study examines student…
