This case study focuses on a multidecade time-series study of changes in public acceptance of evolution in the United States. Change over time is often a central issue in social science research. There are two kinds of change over time. Time-series studies address change in populations or groups over time. Longitudinal studies address changes in…

Peer reviewedKaylin R. Clements; Jennifer E. Cross; Christopher McCarty; Jennifer N. Solomon – Field Methods, 2024
Social network research often depends on the willingness of respondents to provide personal information about themselves and alters. Survey design strategies that increase willingness to share this information are necessary for social network research to be feasible, especially when name generators are used for sampling because rosters are…

Adrian Adams; Lauren Barth-Cohen – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
In undergraduate research settings, students are likely to encounter anomalous data, that is, data that do not meet their expectations. Most of the research that directly or indirectly captures the role of anomalous data in research settings uses post-hoc reflective interviews or surveys. These data collection approaches focus on recall of past…

Hasan Tutar; Mehmet Sahin; Teymur Sarkhanov – Qualitative Research Journal, 2024
Purpose: The lack of a definite standard for determining the sample size in qualitative research leaves the research process to the initiative of the researcher, and this situation overshadows the scientificity of the research. The primary purpose of this research is to propose a model by questioning the problem of determining the sample size,…

Trans* and genderqueer student retention and liberation is integral for equity in undergraduate education. While STEM leadership calls for data-supported systemic change, the erasure and othering of trans* and genderqueer identities in STEM research perpetuates cisnormative narratives. We sought to characterize how sex and gender data are…

Prospective students and their families use college rankings to navigate their higher education options. Rising tuition and fees have made the college decision more fraught. Recently, the major college ranking providers have revised their methodologies to reflect costs and other considerations. These revisions raise important questions about the…

Ibrahima Dina Diatta; André Berchtold – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
Using secondary data has many advantages, but there are also many limitations, including the lack of relevant information. This article draws on a previous study that used secondary data to investigate substance use in young, elite athletes. Three types of missing data appeared: missing data, lack of information about the data collection process,…

Mthuli, Syanda Alpheous; Ruffin, Fayth; Singh, Nikita – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
Qualitative research sample size determination has always been a contentious and confusing issue. Studies are often vague when explaining the processes and justifications that have been used to determine sample size and strategy. Some provide no mention of sampling at all, whilst others rely too heavily on the concept of saturation for determining…

Irina Bauer; Tanja Kunz; Tobias Gummer – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2025
In web surveys, no interviewer is present to clarify question comprehension problems, which can be particularly prevalent among respondents with low literacy skills. Although plain language is used in various contexts to improve text comprehensibility, its use in social science questionnaires has not been investigated to date. Using a…

Guy Bendermacher; Mirjam oude Egbrink; Diana Dolmans – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2023
Problem-based learning (PBL) can take many different shapes but has as a common denominator that it builds on the principles of collaborative, constructive, contextual, and self-directed learning. Systematic review approaches that aim to provide insight in what features make PBL work generally fall short, as they tend to disregard the influential…

Buckley, Jeffrey; Hyland, Tomás; Seery, Niall – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Technology education research is a growing field, with the rate of growth increasing over the last 2 decades. As the field grows, it is paramount that credibility is maintained in published findings. To date there is no evidence to suggest a lack trust is warranted, however in the midst of the replication crisis there is need to ensure continued…

Hedges, Sarai; Harkness, Shelly Sheats; Given, Kim – Middle Grades Research Journal, 2022
In this article we report on middle school students' understanding of concepts related to the second step of the statistical problem-solving process, study design: create a plan and collect data. Students participated in an open-ended statistics lesson involving nonexperimental study design. For this research we analyzed the students' discourse…

Babier, Aaron; Fernandes, Craig; Zhu, Ian Yihang – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2023
In this paper, we describe a course project in which teams of undergraduate students propose and execute an end-to-end analytics project to solve a real-world problem. The project challenges students to implement machine learning, optimization, simulation, or a combination of these three techniques on real-world data that they collect. A…
