This case study presents a multistage and multimodal methodology for conducting online research studies using video conferencing tools. We designed our methodology to capture how Brazilian schoolchildren (ages 9-11) transact, alone or with others, homework information-searching routines. Our case study presents the steps involved in designing an…

This case study discusses responsive walking methods from a yearlong river-child-walking project situated in early childhood education. Grounded by feminist anti-colonialism, this project reconfigured children's relations with a local river and challenged dominant, extractive methods of discovery. A behind-the-scenes approach is taken in this case…

This case study explores the challenges of conducting a culture-based educational design research project for early childhood educators in an online environment that is further complicated by an international pandemic. The project applied a systematic learning process to better understand computational thinking. Twelve early childhood educators…

This case study outlines a method of incorporating evaluation processes in an iterative cycle to inform the development of eLearning literacy and numeracy resources. The resources are targeted at remotely located Indigenous students and incorporate skills in workplace contexts. Because of this, we needed to gather advice and feedback to ensure the…

The 2022 EUROCALL conference was held in Reykjavik on 17-19 August 2022 as a fully online event hosted by the Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute for Foreign Languages, the University of Iceland, and the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies. The conference theme was "Intelligent CALL, granular systems and learner data." This theme…

Action research design blurs the traditional distinction between researchers and practitioners, and effectively shortens the distance of the transformation from academic findings to daily practices. This research case features a critical action research project that focused on understanding graduate students' perception of and how they position…

The increasing demand for access to higher education and declining financial support from states help fuel the increasing employment of part-time faculty at US institutions of higher education. Although prior studies acknowledged employing part-time faculty is positively associated with student learning or choice of major as they bring…

This research stems from my doctoral studies where I was examining the differences between teaching and learning in classes of different size. The more I read about issues relating to class size, the more I started to notice that the student voice was almost completely absent from the research. Perhaps this was understandable, as the vast majority…

This volume is based on an ERASMUS+ project that ran from 2017 to 2020. It aimed at empowering both prospective teachers and teacher educators to actively become agents of their own continuing professional development. It further intended to cooperatively establish a culture of self-reflection, as well as an intercultural network of professionals…

In 2009, I began my journey to earn an EdD with determination and passion but found the road included twists and turns that required perseverance and patience. By examining middle school students' perceptions about the role their relationship with a teacher has in the learning process, I listened for elements of their experiences that might inform…

This study followed 14 young volunteers as they broadcast on community radio. It explored how learning occurs and how volunteering may structure this, and whether such learning has distinct characteristics from types of learning theorised in the literature. Methodology is discussed as something that should be evident throughout all aspects of the…

This case describes the research process followed by two professors who chose to study student outcomes in our online accounting classrooms. Motivated by the discovery of a possible anomaly in classroom outcomes, we decided to look further. We thought the anomaly might be explained by student procrastination. If our perception proved true, the…

Studies that follow teachers for multiple years are unfortunately rare in educational research. To help "connect the dots" between teachers' participation in professional development meeting and student learning, I conducted a mixed-methods study that followed high school teachers in and out of a school-based professional development…

In 2011, Donna DiBartolomeo and Zachary Clark enrolled in the Arts in Education Program at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Harvard Graduate School of Education is home to Project Zero, an educational research group comprising multiple, independently funded projects examining creativity, ethics, understanding, and other aspects of learning…

As a result of the modern pervasiveness of smartphones and other mobile technologies, students and teachers increasingly communicate by computer technologies. They communicate through online conferencing systems, interact via social networking sites, and meet in virtual learning spaces in addition to gathering together in classrooms, laboratories,…
