Background: NHS case note data are a potential source of practice-based evidence which could be used to investigate the effectiveness of different interventions for individuals with a range of speech, language and communication needs. Consistency in pre- and post-intervention data as well as the collection of relevant variables would need to be…

This paper considers how effectively inspection takes account of the 'lived experience' of young people in school and in their leisure time, and identifies some weaknesses in both data gathering and reporting. It asserts that Ofsted should be more forthright in its judgments of the curriculum range now offered in schools, and regrets its lack of…

The digital era has significantly reshaped journalism, emphasizing the pivotal role of data-driven reporting. This review delves into the nexus of data journalism and journalism education, investigating dominant study characteristics, challenges, and gaps for future research. Examining 41 relevant articles through the Arksey and O'Malley…

This paper explores an emerging methodological approach called doppelganger as method. This method uses the idea of a doppelganger or double to explore the social world. It is specifically used to examine datafication, or the increase in the production and use of data and its impact on education. Doppelganger as method begins by locating doubles,…

With the development of the information age, the quality of physical education teaching in universities has become an important goal of teaching reform. Improving the quality of physical education and significantly improving students' physical fitness is one of the development goals of higher education. Therefore, this article proposes an…

As part of its evaluation of the Illinois State Board of Education's Preschool Development Birth through Five Planning Grant (PDG B-5), Illinois Workforce and Education Research Collaborative (IWERC) completed an overview and evaluation of strengths and weaknesses in the current early childhood data systems. To complete this review, IWERC examined…

Carefully designed evaluations of informal science events are key to gaining insights into their efficacy and impact on audiences. However, traditional approaches to evaluation, such as interviews and questionnaires, can be disruptive to the audience experience of science events. There is therefore a need to develop and implement new evaluation…

With technological advances, institutional stakeholders are considering evidence-based developments such as Curriculum Analytics (CA) to reflect on curriculum and its impact on student learning, dropouts, program quality, and overall educational effectiveness. However, little is known about the CA state of the art in Higher Education Institutions…

Data extraction is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task in the systematic review process. Natural language processing (NLP) artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the potential to automate data extraction saving time and resources, accelerating the review process, and enhancing the quality and reliability of extracted data. In this…

In this paper, we propose a new method for selecting cases for in situ, immediate interview research: detector-driven classroom interviewing (DDCI). Published work in educational data mining and learning analytics has yielded highly scalable measures that can detect key aspects of student interaction with computer-based learning in close to…

Accurate data extraction is a key component of evidence synthesis and critical to valid results. The advent of publicly available large language models (LLMs) has generated interest in these tools for evidence synthesis and created uncertainty about the choice of LLM. We compare the performance of two widely available LLMs (Claude 2 and GPT-4) for…

Detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks in wireless networks remains a critical challenge due to their deceptive nature and potential to compromise network integrity. This paper proposes a novel approach to wormhole detection by leveraging propagation delay analysis between network nodes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on signature-based…

Interest in applied educational research methodology is growing as educators and researchers strive to seek empirical evidence about what is effective teaching within distinctive contexts. However, for beginner researchers who are interested in conducting case studies within educational settings and are looking for an appropriate starting point,…

This article looks back over the past two decades to describe how teaching of undergraduate marketing research has (or has not) changed. Sweeping changes in technology and society have certainly affected how marketing research is designed and implemented--but how has this affected teaching of this important topic?
