Abstract

Purpose

Teacher noticing is a critical aspect of teaching competence that has garnered significant scholarly attention. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the integration of teacher noticing into lesson study, exploring how different stages of lesson study influence the development of teacher noticing.

Design/methodology/approach

This article systematically reviews 15 empirical studies on teacher noticing within the context of lesson study, focusing on research design, subjects, methods, theoretical frameworks and the specific impact of different stages of lesson study on teacher noticing.

Findings

The review reveals a geographical concentration of studies in Western countries, particularly in the United States, with a relative scarcity of research in East Asian contexts. Most studies focus on pre-service teachers, employ qualitative methods and are grounded in Van Es’s (2011) Learning to Notice framework. The findings indicate that different stages of lesson study significantly influence teacher noticing, particularly in the planning, teaching and reflection stages, where shifts in focus and depth of noticing are evident.

Research limitations/implications

This paper explores how various lesson study stages impact teacher noticing development. It offers future research directions and calls for more cross-cultural studies. Certain activities within classroom research may restrict attention development, particularly when these activities fail to encourage in-depth cognitive analysis across all stages sufficiently. Future research should explore how to avoid these limitations in the classroom research process and design more effective strategies to support deep observation and analysis by teachers at each stage. In the reflection stage of classroom research, certain factors may restrict the focus on student thinking.

Practical implications

By synthesizing the existing research into a comprehensive narrative, we provide an essential foundation for future studies on teacher noticing within lesson study contexts. This work not only charts the historical development of the field but also encourages more profound and actionable research engagement with the nuanced processes of teacher observation and reflection during lesson studies.

Originality/value

This paper explores how various lesson study stages impact teacher noticing development. It offers future research directions and calls for more cross-cultural studies and a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to fully understand the effects of lesson studies on teacher noticing.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore how perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect users' sensory experience and behavioral experience in the metaverse context, and explore the significance of building a metaverse platform for companies, and provide management enlightenment for corporate development.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from 329 online participants and analyzed using structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression.

Findings

Perceived usefulness and ease of use have a significant influence on customer sensory experience and behavioral experience in the metaverse. Sensory experience mediates the influence of perceived usefulness and availability on behavioral experience. Social presence positively moderates the influence of both usefulness and ease of use on sensory and behavioral experience. In other words, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in the metaverse situation affect sensory experience through social presence, and then affect behavioral experience.

Originality/value

This research clarifies the effect of usefulness and ease of use on customer sensory and behavioral experience. It confirms the positive moderating role of social presence and the mediating role of sensory experience in the influence pathway between perceived usefulness, ease of use, and behavioral experience. From the perspective of management, this study provides theoretical support for the positive impact of corporate metaverse platform building on customer brand experience in the future, and provides impetus for companies to pay attention to improving the usefulness and ease of use of their metaverse platform.

Abstract

Purpose

Housing energy consumption is a significant contributor to climate change. Encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient products can be an effective way to reduce energy consumption. The impacts of social influences, such as peer effects and social norms, on energy efficiency adoptions were identified; however, these social influences are not quantified and compared with each other or with other influences. This study aims to investigate the choice of energy-efficient product adoption with different costs and how different social influences affect the choice through different processes and paths.

Design/methodology/approach

Two stated choice experiments were employed in Wuhan, China, to examine the impact of social influences on energy-efficient product adoption in low-cost and high-cost scenarios. Appliance packages (including fridges and washing machines) and heating and cooling systems were used for the two cost scenarios, respectively. The social influences are evaluated in three aspects: positive versus negative information, physical versus online social networks and peer effects versus social norms.

Findings

The study revealed how various factors, including social influences, impact energy-efficient product choices. Research results show that: (1) social influences have greater and wider impacts in the low-cost scenario than in the high-cost scenario; (2) negative information decreases the adoption of low-cost energy-efficient products, while positive information boosts high-cost energy-efficient product adoption and (3) people value the information provided by those they know personally and are more influenced by physical social networks.

Originality/value

This study contributes to a better understanding of social influence in energy-efficient product adoption with different costs. This study provides a comprehensive framework to investigate social influences comparing the impact of different processes, paths and types of information. The findings can also provide practical implications for policymakers to accelerate the energy transition in the built environment.
