It is commonplace to think that the university space is that of a docile body ideology for the reception of the diversity of bodies and that individuals who have been inserted and are maintained in this space are absent from symbolic violence. It is up to us to ask what are the mechanisms of this (in)visibilization perceived and experienced by us?…

To explore the affective domains embedded in academic development and teacher practice, a team of academic developers was invited to consider a poem and how it reflects the emotions and feelings underpinning experiences as teachers within Higher Education.

Good education is only possible with highly qualified teachers. Being aware of these competences or deficiencies is also important for teachers' professional development. In the last 15 years, refugee migration from the Middle East and Central Asia to Europe has challenged Turkey with the problem of refugee education. The aim of this research is…

The ongoing teacher shortage has created major concern across the nation. While much research has sought to understand sources of teacher dissatisfaction, less attention has been paid to how general education (GE) and special education (SE) teachers differentially experience workplace challenges. To construct a more detailed and domain specific…

How can educators create space for students to practice making the worlds we are trying to collectively build? Inspired by genealogies that are grounded in and emerge from social movements, this paper uplifts the possibilities, tensions, and new questions that emerge when we take seriously the role of our classroom pedagogies. The authors offer a…

This study aimed to explore possible correlations between elementary inservice teachers' (n=138) perceptions of science teaching constraints and affordances as well as their demographic information and science teaching self-efficacy and beliefs through the use of inferential statistics (Field, 2018; Riggs & Enochs, 1990). It also sought to…

We study the returns to experience in teaching, estimated using supervisor ratings from classroom observations. We describe the assumptions required to interpret changes in observation ratings over time as the causal effect of experience on performance. We compare two difference-in-differences strategies: the two-way fixed effects estimator common…
