The interactive whiteboard (IWB) is increasingly used for teaching and learning in the classroom. Nevertheless, the ways that teachers incorporate this tool within their teaching practices remain poorly understood. This paper examines elementary and high school teachers’ self-reported practices with the IWB. The conceptual framework centers on teachers’ self-reported practices as well as the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model, a framework for successful integration of technology into teaching. Data were collected from discussion groups with 30 teachers. Overall, the results show a predominance of technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) and technological knowledge (TK) regardless of grade level, gender, or years of teaching experience.Le recours au tableau numérique interactif (TNI) à des fins d’enseignement et d’apprentissage à l’école est de plus en plus fréquent. Cependant, les pratiques des enseignants qui exploitent l’outil sont encore mal connues. L’objectif de cette recherche est de rendre compte des connaissances que des enseignants du primaire et du secondaire mobilisent dans leurs pratiques déclarées au regard du TNI. Le cadre conceptuel repose sur des pratiques enseignantes déclarées et des connaissances (modèle TPaCK) à déployer pour assurer une intégration réussie des outils technologiques. Les données ont été recueillies auprès de 30 enseignants participant à des groupes de discussion et traitées selon une analyse de contenu. Globalement, les résultats montrent une prédominance de connaissances technopédagogiques (TP) et technologiques (T) chez les participants, peu importe l’ordre d’enseignement, le genre de l’enseignant ou l’expérience en enseignement.

Even though the study of polymers is included in the school secondary curriculum in Spain, all the signs are that this topic is not being adequately addressed in the classroom. For this reason, this paper focuses on two key factors for polymers teaching and learning at secondary level: teachers and textbooks. A qualitative methodology, based on semi-structured interviews and a content analysis of textbooks, has been used. Six High School teachers have participated in this research. Attempts have been made to find out teachers' opinion about introducing contents of polymers in the classroom by means of semi-structured interviews. The content analysis of textbooks used in many schools of Spain has been carried out through the application of a assessment questionnaire. The results obtained as regards the polymers suggest that: a) Teachers provide only a limited amount of time for this topic in the curriculum; b) Textbooks do not include a large part of basic contents; and c) The low level of knowledge of students is justified by a) and b).

This study aimed to find out and toanalyze quality of lesson plans by senior high schoolteachers in Siak Regency. The lesson plans designed by teachers of the schools function as aguideline for them to run teaching and learning process at schools. It is a descriptive research. Dataof this study were collected through an instrument filled out by 142 respondents. They were seniorhigh school teachers in Siak regency. Data analysis was presented through descriptive statistics.The research findings revealed that quality of making lesson plans of senior high school teachers inSiak regency belong to the very high category (4.304 or 86.10%). The lesson plans aimed to matchteaching material with predetermined competencies, allocate time effectivelyand efficiently, decidemedia/tools as well as teaching materials, describe learning objectives and in detail, decideassessment techniques in accordance with the demands of the curriculum, organize teachingmaterials based on sequences and groups, decide appropriate teaching methods, design learningprocedures in accordance with competencies required, and decide appropriate references(textbooks, modules, computer program and so forth) to be used. These findings show that makinga lesson plan requires creativity and pedagogical skills. Creativity andmotivation lead to positiveaction in presenting quality, realistic, and concrete lesson plans

This research (the second part of a 2-part study) sought to investigate selected high school teachers’ knowledge and use of a problem solving approach to mathematics teaching and learning. It also examined the challenges that they experienced in implementing this pedagogical approach. A survey research design was used for this research whereby data were collected using a questionnaire with closed- and open-ended items. Thirty-one high school teachers from Jamaica participated in the study. The findings indicated that the teachers generally used a problem solving approach during instruction very regularly and felt extremely competent when using the approach. Some of the most frequently reported challenges included students’ lack of interest and tenacity in solving problems; teachers’ heavy workload; and the time consuming nature of the approach. One key recommendation to address the challenges raised is implementation of professional development for teachers to guide them in effectively incorporating problem solving as a teaching/learning approach in the mathematics classroom.

Purpose–With industry 4.0 revolutionizing the digitally renowned teaching and learning societies, this research study aims to uncover the practices of public high school teachers on digital teaching and learning technologies during the COVID-19pandemic. Method–This descriptive-correlational study surveyed 34 consented Filipino teacher-participants of a public high school system in the Buguey District, Northern Philippines. Validated responses extracted thru Google forms administered in 30 days were described using frequency counts and percentages. Perceived practices were correlated with teacher-participants' profiles, while qualitative key informant interviews disclosed best practices, challenges, and problems along with the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning.Results–Findings revealed rare practices on the use of digital technologies to teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among teachers which are mostly on early to middle age brackets, dominantly female, completed their equivalent Masters' degree, holding teacher 2 or 3 ranks, and permanently teaching in 6 to 10 years now. Practices of teachers in the use of digital teaching and learning tools are somewhatevident, eager to practice and acknowledging the benefits of using the digital tools and radiating best practices in the workplace. Despite some technical issues that are beyond control, having internet at home necessitates the teacher's role to enhance teaching and learning while maximizing the potential of varied tools.Conclusion–With the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education (DepEd)has indeed necessitated teachers to be innovative in class towards achieving its vision-mission statement by integrating into the curriculum and instruction the use of digital teaching and learning tools.Recommendations–It is recommended that DepEd must continually upscale its technological competencies with the implementation of the proposedlearning action cell sessions.Research Implications–The relevant research findings provided insights for school administrators for implementing training sessions for teachers to be technologically pandemic-responsive.Practical Implications–The results of the study provided inputs for teachers to be adaptive to utilizing digital tools for teaching not only in time of a pandemic.

This study sought to examine whether junior high school teachers’ attitudes are enabling or disabling dispositions toward inquiry-based science teaching. We used concurrent triangulation mixed methods design involving surveys and multiple case studies to collect quantitative and qualitative data. We sampled 308 integrated science teachers and a subsample of 18 teachers from junior high schools in urban and rural areas. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were satisfactory for research. Credibility and dependability of the semi-structured interview schedule were also sufficient. Findings suggest that most junior high school teachers in the study context hold weak unfavourable attitudes that are disabling dispositions toward inquiry-based science teaching. Findings also suggest that the combination of societal subjective norms, perceived context dependency, and weak unfavourable attitudes of most junior high school teachers adversely influence their intentions and behaviours toward inquiry-based science teaching. Findings further suggest that most teachers in the study context developed weak unfavourable attitudes partly because they never had inquiry-based science teaching and learning experiences when they were students. Again, the teachers developed weak general attitudes toward science teaching partly because most science teaching and learning experiences they had were in specific subjects such as biology, chemistry, and physics instead of general (integrated) science. We recommend frequent attitude-focused inquiry-based science in-service trainings for junior high school teachers. We also recommend reforms in education that engages preservice teachers in attitude-focused inquiry-based science teaching and learning experiences.
