By conceptualising teacher competence as knowledge, strategies, and dispositions, this study used semi-structured interviews with the participants and their final-year dissertations. The findings revealed that the classroom-based research helped the participants gain competence in research and in teaching, as they gradually developed and practicalised research knowledge in classrooms, acquired social strategies in schools, and cultivated dispositions as classroom-based researchers. The paper concludes with practical implications on supporting pre-service teachers’ research-teaching integration and developing their sense of self-efficacy as a classroom-based researcher to benefit their future practice.","PeriodicalId":47457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88085105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nine museum-based mathematics lesson plans developed by preservice teachers were examined, based on the interactive experience model. The findings showed that although the preservice teachers were able to connect museum exhibits with many mathematical concepts, most recognised only explicit representations of mathematics in the various objects, and not the more abstract mathematical concepts embedded in those objects. The preservice teachers also used the museum resources in their lesson plans to provide a context or problem situation in which students could use mathematics in procedural ways.","PeriodicalId":47457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88507742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This literature review study provides an overview of research on teaching and learning practices published after the outbreak of COVID-19 in the context of teacher education. It aims to examine their characteristics after the pandemic and analyse issues that have affected their development. Based on the inclusion criteria, 28 papers were considered in the analysis. Findings point to the social and collaborative dimension of teaching, the caring component and the adoption of a more democratic and inclusive approach to teaching and learning. Personal and contextual factors and the challenges encountered related to poor interaction and difficulties in assessing students’ performance are also identified. Implications for rethinking current online teaching and learning practices in the context of teacher education are discussed.

Based on sociocultural theory and reflection theory, this study first categorised ITL activities into four types: (1) learning through interaction with colleagues, (2) learning through interaction with stakeholders (i.e. students, parents, friends, and researchers), (3) learning through interaction with multimedia, and (4) learning through reflection on practice. Borrowing from social cognitive theory, the study then investigated the relationship between each type of ITL and teacher self-efficacy among public school teachers and private school teachers. Survey responses were collected from 289 teachers in a pilot study and 510 teachers in the main study. Multigroup structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. The results substantially support the existence of the four ITL categories listed above. Compared with the private school teachers, the public school teachers reported that they interacted more with stakeholders. The public school teachers’ reflection on practice was significantly related to their self-efficacy, whereas the private school teachers’ interaction with stakeholders and multimedia was important to their self-efficacy.","PeriodicalId":47457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84803736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The papers were coded using categories which were operational definitions of reflection and reflective practice, unit of analysis, theoretical frameworks, levels of reflection, research methods, data collection instruments, and the complexity of second/foreign language (L2) teacher reflection. The results indicate that (a) current definitions of teacher reflection are general and descriptive, (b) the focus is heavily on in-service teaching contexts, (c) there is a growing interest in qualitative methodological approaches and a need for principled mixed methods research is greatly felt, (d), there is an overriding emphasis on reflection-on-action approaches, (e) and most of the studies portray reflection at descriptive and comparative levels, failing to encourage teachers at the critical level. The findings also suggest a need for applying and extending the benefits of reflection to different real-life contexts where teachers work, and a call for new research orientations to address the complex dynamics of teacher reflection.

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in developing language teachers’ corpus literacy as a required knowledge base for the successful implementation of corpus-based pedagogy. Following this line of research, the current study reports on the impacts of a professional development (PD) course on six Iranian EFL teachers’ corpus literacy development. Data sources for the study included semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and classroom observations. The findings revealed that despite some barriers for using corpora in the classroom, the PD was able to expand the teachers’ conceptual and pedagogical knowledge in relation to corpora and associated tools. Based on these findings, the study argues that for corpus-based pedagogy to become institutionalized, there is a need for embracing policies and practices that raise the awareness of teachers, teacher educators, and policymakers with respect to the affordances of corpora for informing language teaching.","PeriodicalId":47457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82851728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effect of work-family conflict on turnover intention may be different between beginning preschool teachers and experienced preschool teachers. The present study examined the mediating role of organisational commitment in the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention with a sample of 726 beginning preschool teachers and 603 experienced preschool teachers coming from China. Results indicated that (1) Chinese beginning preschool teachers’ organisational commitment played a partial mediating role in the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention; (2) organisational commitment fully mediated the relationship between work-family conflict and turnover intention among Chinese experienced preschool teachers. These findings have important implications for devising interventions separately to reduce the turnover intention of beginning and experienced preschool teachers.","PeriodicalId":47457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80866752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
