The effective application of spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) in writing education depends on teachers' lesson design, which is deeply influenced by their technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). However, how teaching conceptions, as the fundamental viewpoint that influences teachers' teaching focuses, shape their TPACK…

In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationships between digital literacy levels, e-learning attitudes and screen reading self-efficacy of primary school teacher candidates through structural equation modeling, and to examine to what extent digital literacy levels and e-learning attitudes predict screen reading self-efficacy perceptions.…

Among mathematics teacher educators, a consensus has emerged that exemplary teaching involves attention to students' thinking. This consensus stems, in part, from theoretical and empirical work highlighting the importance of teachers' being able to make thoughtful in-the-moment decisions, building on students' ideas to adjust the ongoing lesson.…

This study aimed to investigate the instructional metacognition of pre-service elementary teachers with high and low level of proficiency on teaching skills. The comparative case study was carried out on six pre-service elementary school teachers, three of whom had high level of proficiency (HLP) and the other three with low level of proficiency…

How can early and preservice teachers master the complex practice of teaching? This clearly written, research-based guide shows how to successfully navigate coursework, build relationships with mentors, and negotiate fieldwork and student teaching while developing metacognitive thinking skills. These are skills that allow teachers to continuously…

Teaching internship is an effective form of cooperation between university and primary and middle school. Teaching internship can promote the improvement of the teaching quality of internship primary and secondary schools, and also promote the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical experience by college students, and promote the…

This study investigated the nature of pre-service science teachers' (PSTs') situation-specific skills for informal formative assessment (FA) and their awareness of activating these skills in classroom-like situations. Video-based interviews were conducted to collect data from fifteen PSTs before they participated in a teacher education program.…

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is regarded as one of the formulas to embracing many of our imminent challenges. STEM education benefits the learners by encouraging interest in STEM disciplines. This daunting task needs everyone's concerted efforts in creating and innovating mathematics teachers' classroom…
