This study investigated the impact of preparing lesson plans and conducting microteaching activities—aligned with the learning outcomes of the mathematics curriculum—on the development of sustainability beliefs among teacher candidates. T...
Critical thinking, regarded as an indispensable high-order thinking for pre-service teachers, is of great significance in effective teaching and the cultivation of students’ critical thinking. Given that it has been confirmed by previous studie...
Background: Dental caries and poor oral hygiene remain major public health problems among school-aged children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Teachers play a strategic role in delivering sustainable school-based oral health educat...
Discrepancies among feedback sources are typically treated as measurement errors, yet they may serve as catalysts for deeper professional reflection. This exploratory, single-group mixed-methods study, conducted in one Japanese teacher education cont...
Micro-teaching as a pedagogical approach is practiced in many higher education programmes focused on building knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes that can be applied in a professional setting. The previous literature attests to the usefuln...
Digital peer-assessment systems can scale performance-based evaluation, but psychometric quality depends on how rubric criteria and rating categories function under rater-mediated use. This study used Many-Facet Rasch Measurement (MFRM) to evaluate a...
We examined preservice special education teachers’ acceptance of an AI system that supports the evaluation of, and feedback on, their own teaching demonstrations. The system analyzes recorded demonstrations against a structured rubric with time...
The global importance of English and therefore the teaching of the English language has made the English language curriculum an integral part of all levels of teacher education, including early childhood education. The purpose of this study was to fi...
Mathematical creativity is positioned as a key competency for sustainable development, yet its classroom enactment often remains episodic and teacher-dependent. This qualitative study examines how prospective teachers conceptualize and organize the d...
This research proposes theoretical-methodological strategies and tools to guide teaching, reflection, and assessment on the practice of the prospective teacher of mathematics when performing teaching and learning processes on the notion of function....
In a media-saturated online ecosystem, educational technology that fosters virtual interactions and learning opportunities, unlike those taking place face-to-face, has to bear special characteristics that facilitate the way we build our connection wi...
The current study investigates the perceptions of four student teachers of implementing AI tools for designing ELT lessons into their microteaching sessions. The professional development of student teachers achieved via adapting AI tools has not been...
Educator preparation programs have moved away from offering interest-based courses that prepare a teacher candidate on a more surface level and have opted to integrate more authentic experiences with technology that are infused into coursework. This...
Results from a metasynthesis of the relationships between 14 different types of preservice teacher preparation practices and teaching quality, preschool to university student performance, and university student and beginning teacher belief appraisals...
The smart age has created new goals, and offers novel approaches for teachers’ professional development. The acquisition of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) has become essential for novice university teachers’ professio...
Extended Reality (XR), including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), is increasingly used to support experiential learning in Initial Teacher Education (ITE). This systematic review aimed to examine how XR technologi...
Collaborative design is recognized as a promising approach to strengthening preservice teachers’ digital competence, yet its potential when design tasks approximate the complexities of classroom practice remains underexplored. This mixed-method...

Dental materials science education is frequently delivered via traditional didactic lectures in preclinical dental programs. This review aimed to appraise the current evidence on innovative pedagogical strategies in teaching dental materials science...
As secondary educational environments face increasing volatility due to systemic resource constraints and pedagogical uncertainty, understanding the behavioral mechanisms of teacher agency has become paramount. While traditional teacher education has...
The development and use of teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) can enhance students’ understanding of specific content. PCK occurs at three grain sizes: discipline-, topic-, and concept-specific levels. In 2013, Mavhunga and Rol...
Background. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a structured, multidisciplinary programme designed to optimise the entire perioperative pathway through evidence-based, patient-centred, standardised care. The objective of this report is to deter...
