During the last few years, teachers across cultures have faced a lot of unprecedented demands in developing their methods in instruction. Population mobility, unstable labour market and globalisation change society around us rapidly. In addition, education per se is constantly changing, and redefining and modifying learning and teaching environments are an ongoing process. For example, modern educational psychology, including positive psychology movements emphasizing collaborative knowledge creation, calls teachers to facilitate their students’ learning and wellbeing and to create a positive learning environment instead of using traditional frontal teaching and other teacher-centered methods. Digital revolution has challenged teachers to adapt new educational settings and to update their pedagogical approaches into more use of digital solutions. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled the teachers to offer new optimal learning experiences.
The aim of this Research Topic is to gather recent research studies on pedagogy and educational psychology that explore and discuss innovations in teaching and learning in different countries around the world. The goal is to gather scientific perspectives of multiple stakeholders such as curriculum developers, practitioners, and researchers for conceptualizing, assessing, and developing creative pedagogical concepts and practises that can be benefited from various contexts in 21stcentury schools and educational institutions.
Manuscripts exploring the following topics (but not limited to) are welcome:
- teacher education
- motivation and epistemic beliefs
- social and emotional learning
- developing safe learning environment
- curriculum development
- innovative teaching and learning methods
- creative use of technology in the classroom
- contemporary pedagogical approaches.
It is highly recommended that the possible intervention studied in the research article is described well enough for further use in multiple contexts.
