Numerous reviews have synthesized the empirical research on the effectiveness of teacher education, highlighting teacher education effectiveness research (TEER) as an emerging research paradigm. 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.

ABSTRACTListening is necessary for effective learning. 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).

ABSTRACTApplying Arthur Chapman’s conceptualization, this article explores Religious Zionist (RZ) Holocaust education and the way it has changed over the years. 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).

This conceptual paper puts forward the construct termed teacher curriculum competence, which is an amalgamation of theoretical or formal and personal practical teacher knowledge and orientations in relation to curriculum. 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.

Preservice teachers study an academic discipline (e.g. mathematics) and – just like students majoring in that discipline – have a certain level of connectedness to it. 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.

ABSTRACTThe Dutch perpetrated in both the Holocaust and chattel slavery. However, Dutch cultural memory does not significantly recognize Dutch perpetration in these sensitive histories. This article explores the interplay between cultural memory and history education as a potential explanation for this oversight, by specifically focusing on the implementation of multi-perspectivity. In Dutch history education, multi-perspectivity is valued, yet scholars have warned that it could contribute to minimization of perpetration. The deliberate choice of a qualitative research approach, as opposed to the more common textbook analysis, served to centre history teachers’ perspectives and allowed for a comprehensive analysis of their descriptions of multi-perspectivity in Holocaust and slavery education. This exploration further substantiated the concern regarding the risk of perpetration minimization. It reveals that history teachers predominantly approach multi-perspectivity in Holocaust and slavery education through teaching respectively historical empathy and positionality. Stimulating historical empathy and emphasizing positionality with pupils affect the presentation of historical distance and perpetration. Through these approaches teachers risk providing pupils with the understanding that everyone, including perpetrators, can be seen as victims of their historical circumstances, making it challenging to assign moral responsibility. To address this risk of perpetration minimization, this article explores underlying causes and offers recommendations.KEYWORDS: History educationmulti-perspectivitycultural memoryHolocaust educationslavery education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

ABSTRACTA crucial competence for mentor teachers is the ability to analyse classroom practices as they are expected to model effective teaching practices and to provide feedback to student teachers. This ability is referred to in the literature as professional vision. The present study assesses mentor teachers’ (n = 137) professional vision regarding teacher-student interactions and differentiated instruction, using a validated video-based comparative judgement measurement instrument. The results indicate that mentor teachers have a high professional vision. It can thus be assumed that mentor teachers can support student teachers. Additionally, their professional vision is compared with that of classroom teachers (n = 996) and student teachers (n = 2168), expecting it to be significantly higher than that of classroom teachers and student teachers. The results show no significant difference between mentor teachers and classroom teachers but a significant difference between mentor teachers and student teachers. Hence, mentor teachers and classroom teachers are equally able to identify and interpret crucial aspects of effective teaching behaviour and both groups are better able than student teachers in this regard. This study contributes to the current state of the art on mentor teachers from a theoretical, empirical and methodological point of view.KEYWORDS: Mentor teachersprofessional visioncomparative judgementteacher-student interactionsdifferentiated instruction AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank our three reviewers for the time and effort spent on review our manuscript. We sincerely appreciate all their valuable comments and suggestions which helped us to improve the quality of the manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

The present study assesses mentor teachers’ (n = 137) professional vision regarding teacher-student interactions and differentiated instruction, using a validated video-based comparative judgement measurement instrument. The results indicate that mentor teachers have a high professional vision. It can thus be assumed that mentor teachers can support student teachers. Additionally, their professional vision is compared with that of classroom teachers (n = 996) and student teachers (n = 2168), expecting it to be significantly higher than that of classroom teachers and student teachers. The results show no significant difference between mentor teachers and classroom teachers but a significant difference between mentor teachers and student teachers. Hence, mentor teachers and classroom teachers are equally able to identify and interpret crucial aspects of effective teaching behaviour and both groups are better able than student teachers in this regard. This study contributes to the current state of the art on mentor teachers from a theoretical, empirical and methodological point of view.KEYWORDS: Mentor teachersprofessional visioncomparative judgementteacher-student interactionsdifferentiated instruction AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank our three reviewers for the time and effort spent on review our manuscript.

The objective of this article is to explore differentiation of education through juridification. We examine changes in school governing, including trends towards globalization and marketization, as well as increased regulatory intervention in addressing complex social problems. Drawing on Luhmann’s theory of functional differentiation and Teubner’s problematization of juridification, we scrutinize three sets of distinct legislative regulations in a Swedish context. We uncover a multifaceted juridification alongside a multifunctional school organization nested in a complex web of differentiated and interconnected subsystems. Traditional forms of differentiation persist, albeit with juridification as a lever, thus sparking renewed tensions.

This article seeks to contribute to recent theorizing around the concept of powerful knowledge. I begin with a discussion of the current use of the term in both academia and the wider institutional environment of schools. I then give a detailed account of its origins in social realism before exploring different iterations of the concept in recent academic work. The second half of the article seeks to develop the idea of ‘power’ in powerful knowledge by engaging with the criticisms of philosopher John White. I do this by bringing in the philosophical work on the concept of power offered by Peter Morriss. I conclude that Morriss’ analysis of power can help reveal why ‘power’ is best seen as a disposition to effect certain ends. I suggest that this helps resolve some of the concerns of White and provides a template for how to think about powerful knowledge going forward.
