There have been growing concerns about school absenteeism in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, little is known about the precursors to absenteeism. This study aimed to better understand how child-perceived teacher support and family relations (i.e., parent–child relationship and interparental conflict) were related to children’s school reluctance and satisfaction, respectively. 

While teachers are obliged to report and investigate incidents of bullying, harassment, and degrading treatment in Swedish schools, research suggests that they sometimes struggle to decide which incidents to report. In this study, we investigate Swedish schoolteachers’ reflections on dealing with bullying, harassment, and degrading treatment, and on balancing their pedagogical work with juridical demands…

Structured teacher collaboration has considerable potential to support teachers’ professional learning. The current article focuses on what characterises teachers’ decision-making processes during teamwork. 

This paper analyses and discusses the possibilities and challenges of collegial mutual deliberation among teachers as a way of counteracting racism. It takes its starting point in research on teacher collaboration that emphasises the importance of creating conditions locally for critical discussions, building on knowledge from different perspectives and going beyond simple solutions.

Existing research has independently examined teachers' beliefs, emotions, and knowledge related to technology use, but few studies have explored how these components can be combined to form technological integration competency (TIC). Furthermore, the role of self-regulated learning (SRL) in predicting TIC remains underexplored. This study employed multilevel latent profile analysis (MLPA) to identify TIC profiles…

This qualitative study explores pedagogical practices of early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers in Norway, focusing on promoting participation among 4–6-year-old children. 

This study examined profiles of teachers’ resilience and work burnout using a sample of 331 Finnish elementary school teachers (79% female) who filled out an online questionnaire in the spring of 2022. 

Pedagogical training often aims to solicit changes in teachers’ pedagogical behaviour. However, previous studies have demonstrated that these endeavours are time-consuming and challenging. In the present study, we used the opportunity created by the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate how comprehensive schoolteachers’ approaches to teaching change in response to rapid contextual changes and how these changes…

Teacher support is an essential resource for students learning and well-being at school. This study examines whether teachers’ resources (i.e., perceived social resources in the professional community, work-related stress, and teaching experience) and contextual factors (i.e., class size, school size, and neighborhood socioeconomic status) relate to between class differences in levels and development of students’…
