Reports on a research project designed to implement an adapted Lesson Study cycle whereby pre-service mathematics teachers co-create a lesson with an experienced expert instructor and observe the instructor teach the lesson. Results show development in the pre-service teachers' attention to elements of planning such as anticipation and pedagogical…

Over the last two decades, researchers have portrayed quality professional development for mathematics teachers as collaborative and situated in teachers' instructional realities. However, empirical findings also point out various impediments to transforming teacher conversations into consequential learning. These findings illuminate the need to…

This study reports on a professional learning (PL) initiative aimed at establishing a community of practice, through teacher working groups in which teachers can explore and develop their algebraic pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Here we report on teachers' solutions to three differently represented algebraic problems and explore what the…

This study investigates the extent to which school culture and teacher empowerment dimensions predict the effective school perceptions of secondary school teachers. The sample of the study includes 363 teachers [120 male (33.1%), 243 (66.9 %) female] from 24 secondary schools in four central districts (Mezitli, Yenisehir, Toroslar, Akdeniz) in…

Although the effects of Lesson study (LS), a teacher collaborative professional development approach, on teacher professional learning and students learning have been widely documented, the theories for understanding of LS has just emerged as a research field. Interconnected Model of Teacher Professional Growth (IMPG) and Documentational Approach…

Action research is a means for teachers and researchers to develop evidence-based practices. This paper reports the process and outcomes of "teaching sprints," an approach to action research, conducted by secondary school mathematics leaders as part of a professional learning program. Mathematics leaders consistently reported the value…

This case study compared preservice primary school teachers' and primary school teachers' experiences with multi-grade teaching in the 2018--2019 academic year. The sample consisted of 17 fourth-year students in the department of primary school teaching education of a public university and 14 multigrade teachers from 12 schools in Turkey. The…

What mathematics is and how to teach it are questions that mathematics educators constantly confront. A challenge identified in mathematics education is supporting students to see mathematics as normal human activity. Mathematics educators' viewpoints of mathematics determine whether they can recognize and exploit learning opportunities for…

This study aims to examine the research published in the Web of Science database on Curriculum Alignment using the bibliometric analysis method. A bibliometric analysis of the studies included in the research was conducted on August 10, 2023. The "Web of Science Core Collection" was searched by entering the keyword "Curriculum…

The switch to online learning required a creative solution to allow for the experiential learning outcomes of the program to be satisfied when access to physical spaces and equipment was restricted. This paper describes a collaborative process between technical and support staff as well as research and teaching faculty that led to the creation of…

The main orientations of education policy with a view to the next decade include, inter alia, promoting educational innovation and verifying it through further professional development of teaching staff and exploring the effectiveness of learning. One of the possibilities of achieving this goal is co-teaching and its forms, which are constantly…

There is an educational expectation that children's natural drawing will develop into proficient mathematical representations and formal diagrams, yet there is little research available to guide the assessment and development of children's mathematical drawing skills. The aim of this paper is to explore how Year 2 children (approx. 7 years) chose…

The time of COVID-19 required appropriate infrastructure, effective planning, digitally competent adult teachers, high quality training content, user-friendly tools, as well as digitally competent learners, to make education and training systems in the digital area.
