This paper offers insights into how mathematics education researchers can learn from preservice teachers (PSTs) by building upon parallels between adapting curriculum-making and designing research. The pandemic created learning opportunities for PSTs to anticipate mathematics curriculum anew and obstacles for researchers to study their pedagogical…

This article examines pre-service language teachers' perceptions of learning and teaching and how differentiation manifests itself in them. The 67 participants visualised 'an ideal language learning situation' and complemented a number of teaching-related metaphors, for instance, 'A teacher is like…' and 'A learner is like…' in the first session…

Classroom management is reported to be among the greatest difficulties for beginning music educators. The purpose of this literature review was to examine extant research studies on the topic of classroom management in K-12 classroom music. Research topics included the components of classroom management, preservice and inservice teacher beliefs…

Purpose: To investigate the adaptive competence of two physical education preservice teachers (PSTs) across two high school placements. Methods: TwoPSTseachtaughtfour6-lessonfrisbeeunitsacrosstwodifferenthighschools.Feedbackonlessonplans prior to teaching, guided reflection-on-action, and repeated teaching was used to support adaptations to six…

This descriptive qualitative study examined pre-service teachers' cognitive conditions, cognitive operations, and metacognitive adaptations during emergency online practice teaching. It further examined the intricate interplay between these components. Using pre- and post-open-ended questions and weekly reflections, qualitative methods were…

Using origami in the classroom, this study examines the experiences of pre-service middle school mathematics teachers. A case study model was employed in this study as a qualitative research approach. The study involved 39 senior pre-service mathematics teachers. Document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and observation techniques were used…

This paper is an exploration of evolving ideas, urgencies, and actions that we have experimented with in our teaching of an environmental sustainability subject with pre-service teachers at an Australian university. It is a work in progress. Through this shared educator-student teaching and learning process we feel the tensions of contradictory…

Latina preservice science teachers make the transition from science student to teacher is scant. This study aims to address this gap by exploring improvisation as a pedagogical tool in order for Latina pre-service teachers make meaning of the transition from student to teacher and what this might mean in terms of identity. According to Pool et al.…

The study involved 543 teacher trainees and 33 tutors. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach's alpha ([alpha]). For the teacher trainee questionnaire, [alpha] = 0.738. For the tutor questionnaire, [alpha] = 0.886. The results from the study showed that a little more than half (51.7%) of the respondents said that their…

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize the approaches of secondary mathematics pre-service teachers towards contingencies encountered during the teaching process within the context of responding to availability of tools and resources. In order to achieve the goal of the study based on the grounded theory, the nine secondary mathematics…

It is a truth of today's world that there is a growing investment in advancing technological opportunities in education. The literature contains a substantial quantity of research on the integration of digital educational settings that contribute to the development of higher education institutions. However, actual data linking key factors like…

The climate crisis is an environmental issue that affects people of all walks of life but has disproportionate effects on those living in impoverished communities. The climate crisis therefore is not only an issue of environmental justice, but also social justice. However, incorporating environmental issues within education has typically been left…

This article examines narratives from student discussions in a university course for preservice teachers, focusing particularly on dialogic markers that indicate deep, holistic grappling with race and racism in education that we frame as "emotionally connected." We frame "emotional connectedness" in critical feminist theories…

In this reflective poetic narrative inquiry, I explore a possibility, or rather a search, for dialogic pedagogy with a focus on more-than-human beings in my teacher education classroom. I am curious to learn from my students' lived experience with my experimental and environmental dialogic activity and ask: What does a dialogue with…

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our teacher preparation program shifted to an online setting, disrupting a key feature of practice-based teacher preparation: preservice science teachers' (PSTs) approximation of rigorous and responsive instruction during extended pedagogical rehearsals, called macroteaching. Given this unplanned shock to…
