Francis Huang; Brian Keller – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2025
Missing data are common with large scale assessments (LSAs). A typical approach to handling missing data with LSAs is the use of listwise deletion, despite decades of research showing that approach can be a suboptimal strategy resulting in biased estimates. In order to help researchers account for missing data, we provide a tutorial using R and…

Dustin S. Stoltz; Marshall A. Taylor; Jennifer S. K. Dudley – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Distances derived from word embeddings can measure a range of gradational relations--similarity, hierarchy, entailment, and stereotype--and can be used at the document- and author-level in ways that overcome some of the limitations of weighted dictionary methods. We provide a comprehensive introduction to using word embeddings for relation…

Megan Lee; Danielle Augustine; Melinda Moore – Field Methods, 2025
Narratives that dominant the discourse of the experiences of people of color, specifically in education settings, are incomplete. Therefore, identifying methodological approaches that emphasize the perspectives of minoritized groups is essential. Counternarratives have been applied to help (re)tell stories of the oppressed to challenge dominant…

Michiel van Oudheusden; Tessa Roedema; Willemine Willems – Ethnography and Education, 2025
In this article, we reflect on our experiences with teaching ethnographic skills and sensibilities to MSc students at a Dutch university. Using methods such as (self)observation, journaling and reflection, we highlight dilemmas (conceptual, practical, ethical) faced by students when doing ethnographic fieldwork and dilemmas that emerged in…

Austin C. Kozlowski; James Evans – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Large language models (LLMs), through their exposure to massive collections of online text, learn to reproduce the perspectives and linguistic styles of diverse social and cultural groups. This capability suggests a powerful social scientific application--the simulation of empirically realistic, culturally situated human subjects. Synthesizing…

Betül Baldan Babayigit; Ellen Boeren; Sharon Clancy; Zyra Evangelista; John Holford; Queralt Capsada-Munsech – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2025
This paper investigates the methodological discrepancies underlying the measurement of adult learning and education (ALE) participation in the UK by focusing on four major surveys -- APiL, PIAAC, AES, and LFS. Grounded in the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework, we systematically examined the surveys' documentation and compared their definitions,…

Tina Law; Elizabeth Roberto – Sociological Methods & Research, 2025
Although there is growing social science research examining how generative AI models can be effectively and systematically applied to text-based tasks, whether and how these models can be used to analyze images remain open questions. In this article, we introduce a framework for analyzing images with generative multimodal models, which consists of…

Helen Hendry; Eleonora Teszenyi; Lucy Rodriguez-Leon; Mary-Louise Maynes; Jane Dorrian; Tracey Edwards – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2025
Research in early childhood settings requires careful consideration of the impact on all children in the setting, whether participants or non-participants, and evolving ethical approaches in response to children's needs. However, flexible approaches and, 'in the moment', ethical adaptations are not routinely reported as part of early childhood…

Yasemin J. Erden – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2025
This paper introduces the concept of 'hyper-ambition' in academia as a contributing factor to what has been termed a 'replication crisis' across some sciences. The replication crisis is an umbrella term that covers a range of 'questionable research practices', from sloppy reporting to fraud. There are already many proposals to address questionable…

Fabio Galli – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2025
Literature inclusion and exclusion (E/I) criteria are a fundamental selection methodology in different applications. Mainly, the E/I criteria are identified and chosen with respect to the question for which the manuscript itself is produced, thus allowing the selection of the literature. This procedure is not always related to the economic…

Ana-Paula Correia; Fan Xu; David A. Julian – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2025
Amid rapid technological advancements, it is increasingly crucial for educational technology research to move beyond a narrow focus on tools and gadgets, addressing instead the broader social and ethical challenges these technologies bring to education and human performance. Translational research, with roots in the biomedical sciences, is…
