The primary aim of this qualitative case study was to explore the relevance of seven in-service Grade 10 Life Orientation teachers' teaching-learning operations in two different quintile schools regarding the curriculum topic social and environmental responsibility. Accounts of teaching-learning strategies were used to define the orientation of…

Recent studies on student engagement suggest that students become decreasingly engaged as they proceed through their secondary-level school experience (Gallup Inc, 2015; Hodges, 2018; Washor & Mojkowski, 2014; Yazzie-Mintz, 2007). The consequences of low student engagement or disengagement in schools can be significant, leading to poor…

Organizational frameworks in Swedish schools have resulted in instrumentality and measurability. To literature studies, this has led to a focus on comprehension and proficiency at the expense of aesthetic aspects of fiction-reading. This study examines how teachers in Swedish upper secondary schools relate the aesthetic experience to literature…

An online chemistry of art course was developed for K-12 teachers enrolled in a Master of Education in Interdisciplinary STEM Education program. This course focused on the chemistry involved in the preparation of artists' materials, art, and the authentication of art and artifacts. The specific course topics addressed safety in creating art; the…

Teacher self-efficacy beliefs, epistemological beliefs, and beliefs about teaching with technology are regarded as crucial factors for teaching mathematics with technology. However, there is a lack of research that investigates these beliefs while taking into account the multidimensionality of the constructs. In this cross-sectional study with n =…

Diagrams are succinct, visual representations of real-world or mathematical objects that serve to communicate properties of the objects and facilitate problem solving. This study explored perceptions of mathematics teachers in Singapore, who are heads of mathematics departments in their respective schools, related to diagrams and their use in the…

As teachers begin to construct an understanding of 'inquiry', and incorporate IBL into their classroom practice, they are challenged to be sensitive to the 'constructivist' nature of the CLD. This paper presents a reflection model structured to trigger thinking about beliefs in teaching and learning in order for teachers to re-examine their…

One of the main aims of national assessment programmes is to improve the efficacy of education systems; realizing this aim often takes the form of implementing a variety of accountability measures. Using assessment results for accountability purposes is highly controversial, while one of its undesirable impacts is that it generates negative…

Many international studies focus empirically on integrating the history of mathematics in mathematics education. Over the last 2 decades, some studies also revealed theoretical elements concerning the implementation of learning sessions and/or their didactical analysis and effectiveness. This paper has the aim of complementing these empirical…

This study examines school teachers' views on online education. Online education that removes space and time constraints is becoming increasingly preferred. However, the immediate shift to online education brings some problems for teachers. The study investigated K-12 teachers' views on online education by semi-structured online interviews with 33…

This paper describes an approach to working with secondary preservice mathematics and science (M&S) teachers to develop their ability to design for active learning. It presents the design of a studio-style intervention that augments existing teacher education. It describes the way that these studios can be organised, with specific suggestions…

There had been prolonged poor performance of Grade 11 students in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate mathematics examinations. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore secondary mathematics teachers' perceptions of the implementation of e-learning to teach mathematics and the support they receive to implement…

Systems thinking in chemistry education (STICE) has been proposed as an approach that could better equip students with abilities to connect their chemistry knowledge with other disciplines and with the skills needed to tackle complex global issues. However, educational change in chemistry is a complex effort that involves many interconnected…

Relationships between faith and learning are central to Christian education. However, few large studies have examined grade-school teachers' faith-learning perspectives, especially the influence of academic discipline and theological tradition. I investigated these among 1,059 teachers certified by the Association of Christian Schools…

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools have adopted distance learning and blended learning. However, research into remote teaching and learning has suggested several components that impact learning at distance. This study focused on identifying the attributes of remote teaching and learning; readiness and understanding of teachers -…
