Our systematic search identified 27 reviews related to TEER, wherein teacher education is broadly understood as comprising all stages of teacher professionalization—namely, initial teacher education, teacher induction, and teacher professional development. In reviewing these reviews, we carry out a synthesis of existing research on TEER. Guided by four research questions (RQ), we focused major frameworks (RQ1), outcome measures (RQ2), processes (RQ3), and central research gaps (RQ4). Highlights: Only few reviews provide a background or macro framing, whereas most reviews apply TEER for examining a specific topic (RQ1); outcome measures often relate to the notion of teacher competence, making increased competence the true outcome of TEER (RQ2); coursework is the most dominant category of characteristics-forming processes (RQ3); the frameworks underlying the outcome measures appear to be an object of criticism on a theoretical but even more on a methodological level. Building on these findings, we suggest a processes-and-criteria classification (PCC) grounded in basic distinctions of the various studies synthesized by the reviews. We discuss perspectives on how this classification may provide an orientation for future TEER studies.","PeriodicalId":47817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Curriculum Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135724563","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}

Unfortunately, outside of comprehension tasks, listening is rarely emphasized as a key component of classroom instruction. This study considers a specific type of listening, sacrificial listening, theorized to help to bridge cultural, political, and religious divides by emphasizing understanding and unfamiliar voices. In this qualitative, arts-based research study, found poetry is used to investigate preservice teachers (PST) understandings of sacrificial listening as a pedagogical tool, including their consideration of its key components and applications to practice in the elementary classroom. While PST do appear to understand the power of sacrificial listening in reducing misunderstandings between unfamiliar voices, findings from this study also confirm what is already known about teacher education: there is an explicit need for teacher educators to intentionally work with PST on how to take an abstract theory and apply it to practice in concrete ways.KEYWORDS: Sacrificial listeningintergroup contact theorysocial and emotional learningactive listeningand teacher education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":47817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Curriculum Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265962","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}

Beyond RZ’s increasing influence within Israeli society, this examination provides a unique example of faith-based Holocaust education that adheres to rationalism while teaching God’s power over history. The diachronic textual analysis reveals dramatic changes in RZ Holocaust education over the past eight decades. Similar to faith-based education around the world, RZ focused initially on a deontological lesson highlighting the duty of the religious person under any circumstances. Following the 67 War, a distinct consequentialist-theological lesson was added, clarifying the obligation of the Jewish people to respond to the process of redemption embodied in the Zionist movement. As for the present day, the study profiles a new post-secular ontological lesson about the atrocities that people are capable of perpetrating in a godless world. This lesson is intertwined into a novel meta-narrative, one based not on modern ideologies but on the Bibal and the vision of the Prophets. The conclusions of this article help to create analytical categories for exploring faith-based Holocaust education around the world—a topic that has emerged in recent decades as one of great importance.KEYWORDS: Holocaust educationpost-secularschool historyReligious Zionismfaith-based history Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":47817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Curriculum Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135367277","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}

We situate the competence in institutional, political, and philosophical contexts. Drawing on research related to mathematics curriculum at different stages (i.e. the official, intended, and enacted curriculum) and teacher competence frameworks, we elaborate on how a teacher interacts with curriculum informed by their knowledge and orientations. When working with curriculum, teacher curriculum competence refers to what teachers attend to and how they interpret curriculum, as well as why they make decisions, including when to introduce particular concepts or skills, based on their local students’ needs. In addition, we argue that the process of interacting with curriculum helps shape teacher knowledge and orientations. This article is significant for the contribution it makes to conceptualizing teacher curriculum competence in a centralized curriculum system, that is a nationally mandated. Although we use the mathematics discipline as an example, implications for research in promising areas for future studies in this space are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":47817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Curriculum Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135367136","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}

While studying, students may compare themselves to peers studying the same discipline within alternative degree programs, characterized by different study contexts. Notably, preservice mathematics teachers may engage in such comparisons with major mathematics students, potentially fostering preservice teachers’ feelings of being less connected with the mathematics discipline. Thus, using the constructs of task value and sense of belonging, we investigate how preservice teachers’ and major students’ perceived connectedness to mathematics differs and how it differs from the connectedness they anticipate is experienced by students in the respective other degree program. Data from 174 preservice mathematics teachers and 96 major mathematics students in Germany suggest that preservice teachers perceive themselves as less connected to the discipline of mathematics than major students perceive themselves to be. These findings are supported by contrasting participants’ own perspectives with their anticipated perspectives of what students in the respective alternative degree program would indicate. This comparison yields even more pronounced effect sizes. Differences between levels of comparison as well as implications for higher education and teacher education are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47817,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Curriculum Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135366293","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}
