This mixed-methods case study explores teacher professional identity (TPI) tensions and motivations for Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in teaching within a Chinese university-level AI-enhanced teacher training programme. Surveys were completed by 216 attendees, followed by in-depth qualitative analysis of 15 selected teachers. The study reveals TPI groupness-individuality, humanity-technology, and continuity-openness tensions. Three conceptual models are introduced: Human Intelligence and AI as Navigator, Collaborator, and Inventor. It underscores the critical role of tailored AI-enhanced teacher training in harmonising educators’ diverse identities and motivations with technological advancements, signalling a strategic approach for effective AI integration in global teacher education.

Given the substantial challenges in the teaching profession, prioritizing teacher resilience is essential. This paper reviews 54 studies on teacher resilience using the Job Demands and Resources (JD-R) model based on the PRISMA. The paper examines method quality, conceptualization of teacher resilience, and its antecedents. The study acknowledges the methodological limitations of the review and categorizes the conceptualization of teacher resilience while suggesting potential avenues for advancing the field of teacher resilience. Moreover, the findings highlight a greater emphasis on resource factors over demand factors and underline the need for further investigation into differentiating hindrance demands from challenge demands.

In this qualitative study stemming from a discourse community with six elementary teachers in the United States, discourse analysis was used to explore how these teachers discuss the international notion that youth are in a social and emotional crisis. The teachers resisted a deficit narrative that youth are to blame for this crisis and require fixing. Resistance was evident in teachers' discursive strategies such as illuminating students’ strengths, recognizing how “crisis” can emerge from systems operating as intended, and pointing out the contradictory metaphors of movement (stuck in the past, obsessed with progress) that can prevent global transformation in education.

Teachers play an essential role in school bullying prevention. This study investigates teachers' perceived seriousness and willingness to intervene in school bullying using a survey-experimental design. Twenty conjoint scenarios were designed based on five types of victims' reactions (crying, fighting back, seeking help, pretending nothing happened, no description) and four forms of bullying (physical, verbal, relational, and cyber). Cyberbullying is perceived as the most serious. Physical bullying elicits the highest willingness to intervene. Teachers' perceived seriousness significantly varies according to victims' reactions, except for relational bullying. However, teachers' willingness to intervene does not differ significantly based on victims’ reactions.

Despite the motivational impact of teacher goal orientations and emotions, there is limited investigation on those who experience marginalization, such as Physical Education teachers. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among and differences in Physical Education teacher goal orientations and emotions. Inservice Physical Education teachers (N = 364) from across the U.S. completed demographic, goal orientations, and emotions surveys. Analysis of variance and path analysis tests found that goal orientations and emotions differed significantly by context, instructional level, and years of experience. Aiding teachers in the development of mastery, approach, and social goal orientations can increase positive teacher experiences – improving their effectiveness and well-being.

Gameful education can foster students' lifelong learning perspectives, which is vital in the 21st century. However, implementation strongly depends on teachers' views about gameful practices. This scoping review aims to identify the characteristics of relevant studies and explore factors influencing gameful practices. Following the PRISMA protocol, 143 studies were analysed that focused on in-service teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, or practices concerning gamification or game-based learning; published between 2013 and 2023; written in English; contained primary source; and peer-reviewed. The study introduces a typology of supporting and inhibiting factors, emphasising the importance of professional development and supportive communities.

Drawing on a qualitative, interview-based study of 36 research-engaged teachers in Poland and Spain, this paper aims to identify and explore the types of their research engagement, and their recommendations on how education stakeholders can improve this engagement. The findings reveal three types of teacher research engagement – i.e. situational engagement, emotional engagement, and transformative engagement – as well as specific roles and responsibilities for five stakeholders they view as being key to improving teacher research engagement: school leaders, teachers, university communities, teacher education providers, and policy makers. The paper concludes with new insights for theory and practice in this field.

This study investigates the lived experiences and developing identities of three secondary first-year teachers, exploring the practices each employed to reconcile expectations of teaching with their realities. Authors present distinct narratives synthesized from weekly reflections and interviews, identifying factors that supported new teacher reconciliation including a strong connection to community, healthy social emotional skills, and the recalibration of the role of curriculum. This study advocates for teacher preparation programs to recognize areas of misaligned expectations and provide support for new teachers in the construction of realistic views of teaching as essential to developing teacher identity and impacting retention.

Biodiversity is a very important topic nowadays, but there is currently a lack of studies on the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of this concept. We examined the integration of the PCK components of ten elementary education teacher educators in Argentina through a qualitative, interpretative, and exploratory study, using semi-structured interviews based on the Content Representation tool and the mapping approach. OTS and KSU were most integrated while KA was the least integrated. We discuss the implications of integration between PCK components for biodiversity teaching as a contribution to teacher training and future research.

While much research in the Covid-19 era has focused on student learning loss, little empirical work has yet been published that examines U.S. teacher candidates' experiences with learning to teach during the current pandemic era, and all of the social and political upheaval of the day. This autoethnographic case study centers four teacher candidates’ practicum and student teaching experiences, during which they collected observational and reflective data throughout the 2021–2022 school year. Together with their teacher educator, and employing a feminist labor theoretical lens, the candidates analyzed data and derived three overarching themes: Learning to teach as emotion work, labor structures as barriers to learning to teach, and an overall uncertainty about teaching as a profession.
