This paper presents an alternative approach of teaching systems of two linear equations to the students in Tanzanian ordinary secondary schools. I conducted a desk-based research on methods that have been used by in-service mathematics teachers for teaching systems of two linear equations in ordinary secondary schools. It was found that five…

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the relationship and influence of mathematics teachers' perception and readiness on the practice of critical thinking skills (CTS) in implementing pedagogical processes in secondary schools. Methodology: Participants of the study consisted of 226 mathematics teachers who taught in three different…

Although there is a lot of interest in the development of computational thinking (CT) and the benefits it could have for every student, integrating it into science classrooms may be more difficult than traditional teaching. This can be very challenging for South African science teachers. Thus, there is an increasing need to prepare teachers and…

The objective of this study is to analyze the teaching approaches of trainee history teachers in Spain. A non-experimental quantitative design was employed with data being gathered via a questionnaire with a Likert-type scale (1-5). Six hundred forty-six students of master's degrees in geography and history teacher training from 22 different…

Education in the 21st century has had an evolutionary impact on teachers' teaching approaches in South African schools. Teachers are continuously faced with challenges in improving teaching and learning approaches in response to addressing the particular needs of a diverse group of learners. With this article we aimed to explore life orientation…

We introduce a teacher learning practice called "EQUIP-ing," which aims to foster sociopolitical noticing by leveraging EQUIP, an equity-oriented classroom observation tool. We detail our iterations of EQUIP-ing to a field-based Number Talk experience in a secondary mathematics methods course with 25 White prospective teachers (PTs). We…

This article discusses the pedagogic practice of ability grouping in government schools in Delhi. Despite practical evidence against homogenous student settings, ability grouping is implemented as a policy solution to reduce the huge variance in students' learning levels within a classroom. Research data is drawn from interviews with 110…

Developing students' literacy skills remains a challenge for many EFL teachers. The current study explores data about which literacy teaching strategies secondary EFL teachers in Indonesia report they know and practice and what roles they think they can play in developing students' literacy skills to support school literacy initiative programs.…

When compared to pre-pandemic scores, results from the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress showed the most substantial declines in 4th and 8th grade math achievement on record. More than one-quarter of 4th graders scored below the basic level of achievement. Roughly 4 in 10 8th grade students scored below the basic achievement level.…

Since schools increasingly use digital platforms that provide educational data in digital formats, teacher data use, and data literacy have become a focus of educational research. One main challenge is whether teachers use digital data for pedagogical purposes, such as informing their teaching. We conducted a survey study with N = 1059 teachers in…

Educational disruption brought by this pandemic changed the practices and challenged teachers and students to navigate the new learning landscape. This descriptive research study determined the practices and challenges of science teachers in teaching amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 54 science teachers in Zambales, Philippines, responded…

This study examines the influences of a one-year life skills-oriented continuing professional development (CPD) programme on PE teachers' teaching practice. Based on Ball's (2009) generative change model, the programme was designed to facilitate pedagogical connections between programme knowledge and teachers' practices. Eight participants (4…

It is widely believed that critical thinking is vital for academic success or effectiveness and innovation in the workplace. However, there is insufficient knowledge about how language teachers conceptualise critical thinking and implement it in teaching. This is especially true in EFL contexts and at the secondary level. Against this background,…

This study investigates challenges of enactment teachers notice when analyzing artifacts of teaching in a professional development focused on supporting the enactment of NGSS-aligned modeling instruction. Five secondary science teachers participated in a semester-long video club. Transcripts of the segments of their meetings in which they analyzed…

We conducted a multimedia survey experiment with a nationally representative sample (n = 405) of secondary geometry teachers. Participants were shown storyboard depictions of instructional episodes and asked to rate the appropriateness of the (hypothetical) teacher's actions using a Likert-like response format. We analyzed participants responses…
