The study investigated the impact of professional development (PD) in Indigenous teaching on teachers’ psychological and behavioural aspects, and Indigenous students’ learning engagement.

Teacher candidates should be prepared to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into their future teaching practices. Despite the increased availability and support for ICT integration, relatively few teachers intend to integrate ICT into their teaching activities.

However, if the teacher and student are neural networks, the examples that the teacher network learns to give, although effective at teaching the student, are typically uninterpretable. We show that training the student and teacher iteratively, rather than jointly, can produce interpretable teaching strategies. We...
