Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is used to describe the knowledge teachers use to teach a specific subject to a specific audience. Although PCK is linked to student success and motivation, relatively little is known about the PCK of geography teachers. Through a mixed methods approach, we surveyed a group of 73 Dutch pre-service teachers in…

Clinical reasoning is a complex process whereby psychologists review a large amount of data to generate diagnostic conclusions. Limited research has studied clinical reasoning specific to psychoeducational assessment. In this study, we used a think-aloud protocol to examine trainees' and licensed practitioners' clinical reasoning as they completed…

Mathematics is a core academic subject, regardless of grade level or setting. Everyone uses mathematics in their everyday life, so being competent in basic mathematics is critical to independent living. One thing teachers can do to ensure learners are learning the mathematics concepts being taught is to diagnose and remediate the errors they are…

Fermi problems are real-context estimation tasks that are suitable for introducing open-ended problems in primary school education. To ensure their effective introduction in the classroom, teachers must have adequate proficiency to deal with them. One of the key aspects of problem-solving proficiency is flexibility, but there are few studies on…

This study examined Thai pre-service teachers' perceptions towards a nation-wide teacher education reform that was delayed by a year. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, by using a survey, narrative frames, and visual narratives. The survey items (n = 55) were constructed based on a review of literature on reforms of teacher education…

This purpose of this study examined the effectiveness in technology integration among Texas educator preparation pathways and identified successful approaches in developing the technology competencies of preservice teachers. Existing data collected by the Texas Education Agency's Exit Survey by preservice teachers completing an educator…

This research study shows one teacher preparation program's (TPP) attempt to better gauge coteaching implementation and how a TPP can provide more immediate pair support. We present findings from the analysis of 777 weekly coteaching reflection surveys completed by 44 secondary preservice teachers over 20 weeks of the clinical experience. The…

Reform in teacher education seeks to engage preservice teachers (PSTs) in authentic classroom situations that explore equitable practices by connecting theory to professional practice. One way for PSTs to examine how equity and inequity operate in schools is with the aid of equity-related case-based instruction. This study reports on mathematics…

Given the ubiquity of curriculum materials and complexity of their usage, it is imperative that teacher education programs prepare prospective teachers (PSTs) to use curriculum materials. In this paper, we focus on what PSTs notice when they are interacting with curriculum materials, and how their initial impressions of curriculum materials…

The study aimed to investigate the effect of computer simulation and animation-integrated instruction on preservice science teacher trainees' conceptual understanding and retention of acid-base chemistry and stoichiometry. A quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest-delayed test quasi-experimental design was used. In the study area, there were…

The perspective of learning science as a way of thinking and inquiry can be realized if teachers can develop higher order thinking skills (HOTS)-oriented science worksheets. Therefore, it is very important to train the creativity of Pre-service Elementary School Teachers (PETs) in developing HOTS-oriented science worksheets in the education of…

Using occupational socialisation framework, the purpose of this study was to understand preservice physical education teachers' perceptions of and intention to utilise assessment in their future teaching practice. 41 preservice teachers were selected to participate across four universities in the southeast United States. Data was collected through…

Purpose Researching on lesson studies in initial training of physical education (PE) teachers in Portugal, our group is especially interested in the potential of this methodology for developing the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of future PE teachers. The purpose of the present text is to synthesize the knowledge relating to this subject.…
