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…

Michalinos Zembylas – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2024
The aim of this article is to call for qualitative researchers in education and other human sciences to grapple with recent developments in trauma studies and engage in reconceptualizing their research practices so that they pay attention to the catastrophic effects of colonialism on individuals and communities. Joining other critics who have…

Hampson, Timothy; McKinley, Jim – Research in Education, 2023
Mixed research is a methodology of growing importance both within and without education. This type of research forces researchers to reconcile conflicting ways of justifying and understanding research with results that have the potential to be forward pointing for all researchers. As mixed research has grown, mixed research has gained an…

Olvera Astivia, Oscar L. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2021
Partially specified correlation matrices (not to be confused with matrices with missing data or EM-correlation matrices) can appear in research settings such as integrative data analyses, quantitative systematic reviews or whenever the study design only allows for the collection of certain variables. Although approaches to fill in these missing…

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…

Bryan J. Duarte – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2024
Critical quantitative methods provide opportunities for Queer Theory to challenge, re-define, and re-claim the historically privileged research tradition. In this paper, I begin by summarizing the various binaries that oppress research and individuality. I then engage with Queer Theory and my own intersectional positionality to propose a nonbinary…

Garret J. Hall; Sophia Putzeys; Thomas R. Kratochwill; Joel R. Levin – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) have a long history in clinical and educational disciplines. One underdeveloped area in advancing SCED design and analysis is understanding the process of how internal validity threats and operational concerns are avoided or mitigated. Two strategies to ameliorate such issues in SCED involve replication and…

Tom O'Donoghue; Tom Farrelly – Irish Educational Studies, 2024
This paper is a critical exposition on three major issues related to 'interpretive research conducted by researchers who claim they engaged in mixed methods' research. First, to provide context, we demonstrate that the term 'mixed' is inappropriate for the research practices usually adopted by its exponents. Secondly, we argue, expositions in…
