Teacher professional development is crucial for dealing with these changes. A longitudinal study was conducted to study the professional development activities of vocational teachers in the Netherlands. It resulted in a typology of formal and informal professional development activities. This typology consolidates preceding typologies, and specifies these for the context of vocational education. During a two-and-a-half year period, 26 experienced teachers detailed their informal and formal professional development activities in learner reports. The 386 activities identified were grouped in six categories of informal professional development activities and in five categories of formal activities. In total, three quarters of the activities could be characterised as informal, embedded in daily practice. Our typology could encourage vocational schools in facilitating professional development more effectively.","PeriodicalId":47914,"journal":{"name":"Teachers and Teaching","volume":" 26","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conceptual tool of embodying norm-criticality helped us to highlight the importance of critical reflection about own beliefs, past experiences and understandings, and their influence on pedagogical practices in PE. This study contributes to the push towards a change of the stereotypical beliefs of what a PE teacher should be or look like, and in this way, emphasises the vast benefits of diversifying PE teachers’ beliefs and understandings.","PeriodicalId":47914,"journal":{"name":"Teachers and Teaching","volume":"56 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less is known about how teachers listen while students ‘think aloud’ through struggle. In this study, we sought to answer the following research question: What types of listening do teachers enact when students are verbalising struggle during mathematical sense-making discussions? We detail how we created and applied a Framework for Pedagogical Listening, which extends previous theoretical and empirical research on teacher listening to identify and differentiate between five types of teacher listening: empathic, supportive, educative, self-reflective and generative. Our study involved nine teachers and their students in the US and Scotland, contexts which are focused on reform-efforts towards inquiry-oriented mathematics instruction that engages students in sense-making discussions. Our findings suggest that the five types of teacher listening in our framework are present when students verbalise struggle during sense-making discussions, and that our Pedagogical Listening Framework is a useful tool for identifying and documenting the complex ways teachers listen when students verbalise struggle. We present three vignettes of classroom interaction during mathematical discussion that illustrate the five pedagogical listening types.","PeriodicalId":47914,"journal":{"name":"Teachers and Teaching","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135779237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a multi-case study about (1) how uncertainty occurs in the context of teaching and learning in a biology class about genetic engineering and (2) how K12 students deal with the occurring uncertainty. Designed as a Grounded Theory study, classroom observations (including videography) were combined with problem-centred interviews. Contrary to what was expected at the beginning of the study, the data did not contain considerable traces of uncertainty related to or caused by the actual genetic engineering content. Rather, it became apparent that the central phenomenon in the data related to uncertainty refers to the very norms of the biology classroom. Confronted with uncertainty the students tried to exclude the uncertain questions and situations from biology education, arguing that biology is about certain facts that should be reproduced by students. These findings are discussed relative to disciplinary cultures and the concept of habitus as well as in its relevance for the discourse about nature of science.KEYWORDS: Uncertaintynature of sciencebiology educationdisciplinary culturegrounded theory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. The research by Anna Jones (Citation2009) on skills such as critical thinking, analysis, problem solving and communication in Higher education indicates, that these—often described as generic skills—are highly shaped by the discipline they are taught in. Her conclusions on the importance of context and disciplinary cultures may raise new questions for school and learning cultures as well.2. The unit took place within the regular biology classes and the genetics curriculum in the middle of the school year. The type of school, called ‘Stadtteilschule’, is similar to American high schools. It leads to various educational qualifications after nine, ten and thirteen years of schooling. Students in the eleventh-grade aim for the highest qualification that will enable them to attend university. The research at the school was approved by the IfBQ (Institute for Educational Monitoring and Quality Development) in behalf of the Authority for School and Vocational Training Hamburg (Approval number 181–24.03/214,48).3. The participation was voluntary and could be ended by students at any time. The students taking part in the weekly interviews received a cinema voucher at the end for the participation.4. The analysis was carried out by the author. The interpretations were constantly discussed in a monthly qualitative research colloquium as well as a weekly grounded theory working group to validate the interpretations.5.

Annual surveys were collected from respondents throughout a two-year programme to learn more about their induction experiences. We run a series of t-tests to identify differences between respondent groups and over time as well as multiple linear regressions to predict for characteristics that are associated with respondent ratings of coaching skills. Results from this study indicate that novice teachers’ belief that they were well matched with their coaches as well as coaches’ beliefs about induction complimenting surrounding support separately predicted for higher ratings of coaching skills. Additionally, novice teachers rated their coaches’ skills higher than the coaches did and all ratings increased over time. The findings have implications for creating more nuanced induction programme curricula to better support coaching interactions for novice teacher development.KEYWORDS: Teacher inductioncoachingteacher beliefsteacher development AcknowledgmentsWe first want to thank Tonya Almeida, Barbara Howard, and the CTI programme staff for their willingness to share their invaluable work with the community at large.

Pseudonym.2. CTI coaches are termed capital ‘Coach’ from here forward. CTI specifically uses the term Coach instead of mentor. That is the only terminology used throughout communications and surveys, and thus, the only term we refer to throughout this manuscript.3. Survey items not incorporated into analyses include respondent satisfaction with technological resources, which were not relevant to this study, and coaching activities and strategies used, which were not a part of both surveys. Survey is available upon request.4. All analyses described below were also performed with the full sample of 762 individuals. However, we believe more reliable results stem from the current analytic sample of paired individuals, in which we can see truer effects of change of beliefs over time.5. We acknowledge that running multiple t-tests increases the potential for family-wise errors. While correction tests could have accounted for these errors, there is some argument that correction for these errors comes at the expense of increasing Type II errors (Armstrong, Citation2014). Additionally, this analytical technique was exploratory in nature to identify whether there are differences in means. It helps to establish the use of regression, a more precise method that controls for other variables to explore differences in coaching skills by respondent group, described next.6.
