High and low heutagogy orientations among mathematics pre-service teachers and their relation to academic AI-usage
Introduction This study investigates heutagogical orientations among pre-service mathematics teachers (PSTs) and their associations with AI academic usage frequency and demographic-academic variables (gender, age, academic year, degree, teacher-education program). Heutagogy emphasizes self-directed learning, reflection, cybergogy, and problem-solving self-efficacy in technology-rich environments. Methods Self-report data were collected from 78 PS…
Heutagogy Meets Generative AI in Teacher Education
As generative AI (GAI) tools become increasingly embedded in educational contexts, understanding their intersection with learner autonomy is critical—particularly in teacher education. This study explores the evolving synergy between pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) use of GAI tools and their heutagogical orientations, with attention to disciplinary differences. A quantitative analysis was conducted with 181 PSTs (103 from Humanities and 78 from Math…

First steps in a second career
The main purpose of the present study was to illuminate the factors that enhance or inhibit job satisfaction among second-career teachers (SCTs) in their initial period at school. Data was gathered from questionnaires filled out by 80 novice SCTs and a comparable group of 82 First-Career Teachers (FCTs). Personal interviews were conducted with eight SCTs. The findings show that the most powerful predictor of high job satisfaction among SCTs is th…
